Be aware of those MSM priorities...

[retrowire]

Bernie has a rally in Boston, MA that contains over 20,000 people. A couple of headlines. They don't show up on news.google.com on the front page, you'll have to search.

Hillary makes a SNL appearance (again), headlines everywhere for SNL, (not hillary) but they keep mentioning how great SNL's ratings got (because of Hillary).

Bernie has a rally that matters, and gets a little something.

Hillary does a comedy skit, and it is everywhere.

Pay attention to that difference. Do we elect an entertainer or an activist?

Just my observation.

1. Bernie is enduring a virtual MSM blackout and it is bullshit.

[retrowire]

3. I wouldn't call it a blackout so much anymore...

As there are articles on him and his events now...

But they certainly aren't given center stage.

As I've said before, they will do anything to overshadow his news it seems.

Hillary tells joke, "HEADLINES EVERYWHERE. HILLARY HILLARY HILLARY"

Biden farts, "WOW, That's what a presidential fart smells like don'tcha think?! This guy should run!"

Bernie pulls 20,000 people to a convention center using only his campaign message, "Bernie did a rally today. It was neat."

5. M$M: Socialist candidate forces supporters to stand outside in the cold!

[AtomicKitten]

7. Bernie's drawing record-breaking crowds and they have yet to cover a single campaign event.

At least not that I'm aware of other than CSPAN.

[Fumesucker]

4. Forbidden fruit is the sweetest

People want what you tell them they can't have, a story as old as Adam and Steve.

It's a new communications era thanks to cells and smartphones and internet.

[AtomicKitten]

6. The success of social media in his campaign is really spectacular.

The MSM virtually ignores him yet he's drawing uuuuge crowds and gets record-breaking donations.

2. Your observation has been noted by many, many people. The Corporate Media is a dinosaur.

Bernie's amazing Boston rally is all over the REAL MEDIA. Hillary's staged SNL performance? I have not seen much on the real media about it at all.

11. Which I'm sure was funny....

and I'm sure it wasn't written by herself so why give her all the credit?

[sabrina 1]

16. Meh, the people want to talk about ISSUES. They are struggling, suffering

many are homeless, jobless etc.

It must be nice to be able to laugh-it-up with a Presidential candidate on a comedy show, because YOU are okay and so is Hillary. But for those who don't know where their next meal will come from, it was embarrassing to watch so I turned it off halfway through.

8. The "media" will fight us every step of the way

[slipslidingaway]

9. knr ...

weird when you have to try and be genuine and fit in with the 99%.



And then taking time to make a decision ... maybe the vote to allow Bush to wage a war of aggression should have been afforded more time.

10. Well, hell, Pilgrim...

America elected Ronald Reagan!

[Enthusiast]

12. Astute observations.

[Uncle Joe]

13. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, retrowire.

14. Google is definitely a big part of the problem - and Wackopedia.

When you google a particular public figure's name, or a particular historical event, what is almost always at the top of your search results?

Wikipedia.

And why? After all, how reliable can a reference source be when it's something anyone can edit? Even less than you might think.

Relying on a source created and constantly altered by anyone at all would be bad enough; after all, this would inevitably include trolls, puerile vandals, bias pushers, and people with a conflict of interest.

As bad as that is though, there's another problem compromising the credibility of what you might read on Wikipedia: unethical, compromised administrators.

Anyone who's navigated the Wikijungle knows that the power to decide what stays and what goes, lies with them - and the dirty little secret, is that many are government (particularly intelligence) or corporate-sponsored shills. This has been particularly the case since Citizens United.

This would all be meaningless schoolyard melodrama were it not for one thing: when you google something of public interest - something you may not know that much about - what is almost always at the top of your search results?

[SoapBox]

15. Kicked!

Your observation is correct.

[Scuba]

17. Our so-called "free" press is actually bought-and-paid-for.

[leftofcool]

18. But Morning Joe was just talking about how wonder he is.

But, Joe hates the Clintons.

[retrowire]

20. though many say that Bernie's in a black out

I'm not one of them.

my point is that he gets very little coverage for things that seriously matter while others like Hillary and Biden will fart or write an email and they just blowup the media world.

that's all I'm saying, and I think that's something worth noticing.

19. Truth! The blackout is obvious. nt
