How bad WILL this hurt Hillary? Some people just can't get past her . . . . Its been said that . . .

[Stinky The Clown]

Even the teevee talkers who many on our side used to trust are doing this. MSNBC is the worst. Fomenting controversy and division. Prefacing with YammieShit as it it were serious, and then asking how the Dems can recover from that.

Et

Cetera.

And it isn't just MSNBC. I hear on local radio stations, local news radio. Other cablenooz.

Last night we switched from MSNBC to CSpan and the contrast was jarring. On "liberal" ( ) MSNBC, all talk was about BernieBrosBooingBadly. They had their pics set up such that the booing seemed louder than the speaker. On CSpan it was starkly different. The speakers were clear and the booing was only faint and even faint, only occasionally.

These fuckers are really hurting democracy.

1. I agree had to turn off MSNBC they are so in for smearing the Democratic party

And I really don't care to hear opinions of rich white privileged people who will not be affected by a cheeto presidency.

[BlueCaliDem]

6. "cheeto presidency"...

[kimbutgar]

10. I am so disgusted that at this point I can't say his name. I call him cheeto all the time when I

make a comment about him.

2. Larry Sabato was just on

And he said that the conventions will be forgotten in two weeks.

[Stinky The Clown]

4. I was watching that. He was slapping down all Chris Lansing's bullshit posits.

Kelly O'Donnell going all breathless that Bernie won't put Hillary's name into nomination. OHMIGAWDHOWBADWILLTHISHURTHILLARY??????

Sabato said that in two weeks no one will even remember this insignificant detail.

3. Horse race reporting. And they enjoy lying about Democrats and propping up GOP

Fake Controversy to gain ratings, ratings to drive up ad rates. More complicated than that, but still.

[Arkansas Granny]

5. I watched on PBS. They mentioned the booing, but didn't spend much time on it.

[Hekate]

7. PBS and CSPAN will keep you sane

[stopbush]

8. I watched the live feed. Much better than the crappy network coverage.

I don't need Andrea or Rachel or anyone else telling me that what I saw and heard wasn't what I thought I saw and heard.

[RockaFowler]

15. So agree

AT&T Uverse has a great feed. I watched the RNC the same way. NO PUNDITS.

I get to hear all of the speeches without the spin.

[TipTok]

9. This is all self inflicted...

If they just acted ethically, then there wouldn't be an issue.

[LiberalFighter]

11. I went with C-Span too because I didn't want to interruption by the idiots.

[dmosh42]

12. I thought last night went pretty smooth compared to other conventions going back to the 50s.......

The Dem conventions during the Vietnam era were very contentious, and you would think they would never
patch up the differences! But with time, they all came together when faced by the Goldwaters, Nixons, etc.

[Orrex]

13. npr LOVES hammering the "untrustworthy" mantra...

usually while they're telling us how Trump "resonates" with voters.

No matter what bullshit Trump spews, no matter how many times he's caught lying, no matter how many racist, misogynist insults he hurls, NPR reminds us that he "resonates" with voters, but Clinton is "untrustworthy" because...

Why, exactly?

[lillypaddle]

14. I also switched over to C-Span

I thought I was watching something completely different - and I guess I was. C-Span is going to be it for me when it comes to these types of political events from now on.
