The Corporate Media PUPPETS are in full "rally round the corporate candidate today

and attack the candidate that refuses to sell out" mode.

Oh well, if nothing else they are consistent.

Corporate Media Puppets: Willing to dance to the tune of the corporate puppet masters when the price is right.

I think puppet is a fitting descriptor.

Puppet: a person, party, or state under the control of another person, group, or power.

"he was little more than a puppet of his aides"
synonyms: pawn, tool, instrument, cat's paw, creature, dupe

pull string puppets and like. We don't have a media in this country, just propaganda cheering teams trying to pass off as news/media for parties/candidates of all stripes.

This is offensive because of sexism or racism somehow. I'm just not sure, but give me time I'll figure it out soon. I just know puppets is offensive and rude. But I demand an apology! And Bernie should apologize too!
