MSNBC Spends More Time Covering Trump and Nebraska Dem Primary where ZERO Delegates are Awarded than
Another double digit Victory for Bernie Sanders, another night of watching Rachel Maddow and Steve Kornacki all but SCREAMING at their viewers that Bernie can't win... and then pivoting to a Nebraska contest in which NO delegates are awarded.... The sad truth of the matter is MSNBC spent MORE time discussing a contest where NOBODY gets a SINGLE delegate than the double-digit win by the Senator from Vermont, Bernie Sanders.... That would be like ESPN ignoring live coverage of the Rose Bowl to discuss the stats of their teams in the fantasy foot-ball league.... Pointless and designed simply to distract and downplay, but that is exactly what MSNBC did.
Fully one third of Rachel's show on Tuesday evening was dedicated to standing in front of a big view-screen with Steve Kornacki flailing away at the idea that Bernie could win. Math was brought to bare and lots of arched eyebrows and pointing and the shaking of heads. In addition to this, recent rallies in which tens of thousands of Bernie supporters gathered to cheer the wooly-haired Vermont Senator were seriously downplayed. The anti-Bernie coverage was so apparent that the numbers of people at Bernie's rally in Sacramento on Monday night ( which numbered 31,000 ) were cut nearly in HALF by Rachel in her comments on the gathering.
Bernie Sanders has admitted, on more than one occasion, that it's a hard, up-hill battle ( no pun intended ) to win the nomination of the Democratic Party. With an establishment DNC stacking the deck and corporate media determined to undermine any positive mention of the Sanders campaign, the progress, even in the face of such difficulties, is absolutely amazing. But the almost rabid denial of Bernie's support among millions of American Voters has gotten to the point that some questions must be asked... Is someone in the MSNBC studios holding a GUN on Rachel and the rest? Have their relatives been kid-napped by corporate thugs until November the 5th? Did someone surgically implant tiny bombs in their brains in order for these pundits to so EMPHATICALLY deny that Bernie has ever had or WILL ever have ANY chance at the nomination?
Because it sure seems that way...
