I’m watching on CNN now. There’s absolutely zero difference between their coverage of politics and their coverage of sports. In fact, I have no idea about NFL and it’s an identical experience.

EDIT - “their” is referring to ’Murica.

I started following him during the Mueller report stuff as he led a lot of the conversation there and he put a lot of energy into highlighting Trump’s narcissism but after following him for a couple of years now I’m absolutely certain he‘s a narcissist himself.

I miss the Krassensteins.

I’ve just finished watching the first season of Succession (no spoilers for S2 please) and:

Without giving too much away, a huge media magnate is viciously attacking a socialist democrat candidate’s campaign. The media magnate’s daughter is working for said campaign and cuts a deal to ease up the attacks. Rather than stopping them all together she asks that they continue during the primary as it’s energising his base.

I wonder if any of that is happening with Sanders. How many independents would be turned off by him if he had the support of the establishment? How many failed by Trump would consider voting for Bernie if he wasn’t controversial and populist?

The thing that actually scares me more than anything with all this vicious media coverage is something violent happening. There are a lot of idiots out there who watch these media channels religiously and have easy access to firearms. There is a big audience that actually believes in the type of rhetoric perpetuated by people like Chris Matthews, James Carville about Russia, communism and the cold war.
 
I had no idea that the "red under every bed" generation would continue so fervently into the 2020's, yet there Chris Matthews is talking about Sanders holding public executions in Central Park and now going on about Nazi's. Dude is stuck in the cuban missile crisis era and never got the news about detente

Think Matthews has got an offer from Fox.

don't forget Seth Abramson, Scott Dworkin (re$istance) and the Palmer Report

Feck, I was actually thinking of Seth Abramson @DiseaseOfTheAge, not Spencer Ackerman. I think Spencer is actually a bit more reputable.

I didn’t realise Louise Mensch is actually a Republican. I knew she was a Tory briefly and is right wing and pro Brexit in her views but shes always called out as a left winger by American twitter. Shows how skewed that spectrum is.

How is this any different from what Alex Jones does?
 
CNN's Abby Phillips is such a hack. Making excuses such as "only around 100,000 people voted in Nevada" and that we cant read much into this result. Their excuse for the first 2 states was that the states were too white and now we get to Nevada and they are focusing on the size of the population to downplay Sanders' victory.
 
Anderson Cooper absolutely loads every question with Bernie conspiracy.

Lots of stuff about the Russian help

He’s been disappointed with every answer so far. Along the lines of “that’s out of Bernie’s control, he’s not courting this”.
 
Some results about to be announced apparently
 
Cooper back on...

”Sanders has been upsetting a lot of people with his recent tweet” :lol:
 


Joy Ann Reid of MSNBC telling democrats to "figure it out soon" because sanders has inspired the poor angry voter to turn out.


The disdain from these people is nauseating.

I assume Warren is going to be lumped back in with the establishment candidates so they can compare Bernie’s 40% to something.
