Not a Bernie fan, but what they are doing is not a surprise at all.

I don’t think sanders has the support this time. Has nothing to do with the media.

Sanders is a career liar. No one takes what she says seriously. She defends a corrupt obstructionist every day.

There's a ton of money to be made by the people who run the campaigns. Hence, lots of candidates. Some get a salary, some a percentage of the donations, some a little of both. And some even get a spif when they place the ads.

Joe Trippi came up with that small donor tactic when he worked for Howard Dean. Get small donors and hit hit them up every quarter. Trippi went in broke and came out with enough cash to buy a house with a friend in Cape Cod or somewhere close. And Howard didn't even get the nomination.

IMO, that's the part of the swamp that needs draining.

So here are some questions:


1) Is the assertion that EVERY piece of the mainstream media is for Biden / against Sanders? Are there no exceptions?


2) If they are all in on it now, why weren't they on it better / faster in 2016?


3) What specifically has the MSM ignored about Sanders' campaign this time?


I have seen lots of reports negative about Biden, Sanders, Harris, Warren, O'Rourke. I see questions about Biden's age, use of influence, personal behavior, family, past issues. If all of the MSM is in on a fix why are these things getting in MSM?


There have been questions raised about Sanders foundation, family, money, etc. but not that much. If there is a conspiracy against him why are they not pushing this stuff harder?

Because there's nothing to push harder. They tried it with his tax returns and ended up with a big fat goose eggs. Sanders has the most squeaky clean profile of all of the top candidates. Even Sneaky Pete wrote a college thesis about Sanders' honesty and integrity.

Granted, I know this is hard for some Americans to comprehend (that we actually have truly honest politicians such as Sanders representing our best interests) given all of the corrupt politicians we've had to deal with for so long in leadership roles.

You understand people lie on pledges right ? I mean the fact that his congressional party affiliation is still Independent alone should have told you that.

When he officially turns that (I) into a D, then we will talk.
