    “More ruthless than anything they have done to Trump”

    The media has pretty much operated as a round the clock anti-Trump network since ahead 2016, including some outlets going so far as reporting speculation that he wants to f*** his own daughter.

    What exactly have they done to Bernie that is so ruthless.

    I can fill out a whole page on just media bias more importantly just so y’all know this is coming from a guy who couldn’t see the obvious anti-semitism sentiment in comparing a Jew to a virus

    Lmfaooo

    But that means nothing. Independents and republicans arent swayed by anything braindead corporstists say on msnbc

    What’s ruthless?

    How they basically robbed him off his momentum coming off his early primary wins? Created a false dichotomy in dem primary voters mind (people who do actually watch cnn and msnbc) that bernie was an exceptionally bad or radical or risky candidate when literally every single head to head poll dismissed this. The warren thing. Pressuring the first place and third place candidates to drop out. Obama literally did this

    And now trying to disenfranchise him in NY primary where he’s expected to do fairly well

    Come on man they were extremely ruthless. Media especially
    And this isnt some conspiracy

    This is the only area where the diehard bernie wing and more open bernie wing agree on

    Read his campaign manager’s statement on how msnbc treated them, faiz isnt david sirota or some s***. The guy is like a warren type progressive and was a harry reid staffer

    It’s apparent to everyone tht supported him and worked for him he didnt earn his due media after the first 3 states

    Exactly this was the most malicious and ruthless aspect

    The whole f***ing concept of early states is that the person tht wins usually goes on to be the nom not because of f***ing magic but bcus the media coverage would be big and fairly positive like come on. The idea is at tht point thT person wouldve been vetted during the debate and campaign process and if they go on to win the first contests then it means thats were the democratic voter opinion is leaning

    These mfs turned every single US primary norm upside down just to defeat bernie.

    So, basically... he didn’t get as much press as you thought he should, and that was literally more ruthless than the 24/7 bashing Trump gets?

    Yeah, Bernie didn’t get a totally fair shake in the media, but when you say off the wall s*** like he got a worse treatment than Trump gets, that just discredits anything you’re saying.

    Trumps treatment is warranted 90% of the time

    Bernies wasnt 100% of the time

    Yes that discrepancy alone makes it worse than trumps

    You’re just walking back your claim now. In no way, shape or form was he treated more ruthlessly than Trump.

    Also, I’m not sure why people are still talking about Iowa like the reporting stifled Bernie’s runaway momentum or something... Tying with Buttigieg was a massive blow to Bernie’s momentum regardless of when it would have been announced.

    You can’t blame the media for the result of the caucus... Bernie never built the same momentum he had from 2016 in the first place.

    And now after hounding Bernie surrogates for suggesting they’re for voter suppression for calling the primaries (and encourage mail-in voting) to be delayed cuz of the pandemic are saying its too dangerous for mail-in voting in New York. While tons of other races will still be on the ballot.

    There’s no moral ground the centrist dems aren’t willing to trade away for some power.

    No, that was and still is just a massive reach if you watch the segment.

    It’s a screenshot of a ticker that was briefly on screen that stated two separate topics in the news summary dude was doing.

    It’s hilarious how context only matters until it doesn’t lmao

    Facts. Whole campaign started off slow with less enthusiasm than 2016. Got hot for a moment, but ultimately a poor effort on Bernie’s part. Like he didn’t even think out a strategy.

    Sure, meanwhile reasonable ppl understands that media motives appear less to do with genuine concern over anti-Jewish sentiment and more about weaponizing smears against a progressive campaign taking on the power of the wealthy—and multi-confessional—elites that own and control the corporate press

    And people really had the nerve to come with “but... but... he got more total votes!” after clowning Hillary for 4 years

    Poor choice of words sure but you’re wrong if you think any of these forces behind these criticisms have any concerns abt anti-semitism when these accusations are selectively enforced on the left and willing to explain away examples like I’ve provided you.

    Yes, Bernie is the only one who’s run for President and was subject to racism/sexism/anitsemtism from the media and public. Didn’t ever happen to Obama or Hillary. Only Bernie by he good guy.

    C’mon bro, obviously it isn’t right but let’s not act like this doesn’t happen to literally everyone that has run for President. They dissect your whole life and attack your character no matter who you are.

    But here you are selectively enforcing when something that can vaguely be interpreted as touching on Jewish stereotypes is a “poor choice of words” or flat out anti-semitism.

    To call the handling of the Reade accusations selective enforcement is completely disingenuous. The level of evidence is not even close to that for Ford’s accusations, which still amounted to nothing in the end.

    Reade has one person willing to go on the record about the rape story for her, and this is someone that just came out yesterday or the day before. Ford had witnesses that were investigated by the FBI, she passed a polygraph from a reputable non-partisan firm and she testified under oath. Reade can’t even keep her witnesses straight long enough for them to talk to the media without changing their story and then refusing to cooperate. Never mind countless other red flags with her accusations.

    If they gave this a legitimate investigation and these claims held up to scrutiny under oath, this would be a different story, but the GOP won’t even ask for that because they know it won’t and the story is more beneficial to them generating s*** to sling in the headlines.

    You want me to believe that as a reaction to Israel’s November 2012 operation against Hamas in Gaza Omar is not referring to the military action and oppressive policies of Israels government and instead attacking a particular faith/ppl

    I only agree that it’s poor choice of words to the point that she wasn’t more clear and letting her words get misconstrued and getting smeared.

    I’m not the one accusing anyone of anti-semitism... but I think that praying for Allah to break the spell that “Israel” has on the world is a lot more egregious than anything that you posted as proof of anti-semitism if you really want to nitpick.

    Bernie is not special in this aspect Obama and Hillary had it worse. I’m highlighting the fact that these anti-semitism is coming from institutions where conglomerates and corporations have a vested interest in smearing a candidate that advocates in breaking them up.
