Sanders sucks and main stream media isn't biased. nah!

"As the invasion neared, top management at MSNBC/NBC News ordered us to bias our panel discussions. If we booked one guest who was antiwar on Iraq, we needed two who were pro-war. If we booked two guests on the left, we needed three on the right. When a producer proposed booking Michael Moore, she was told that three right-wingers would be required for balance. (I thought about proposing Noam Chomsky as a guest, but our stage couldn’t have accommodated the 28 right-wingers we might have needed for balance.)"

So, corporately owned and self- interested mainstream media skew political coverage towards candidates and issues and debates that serve their agenda and corporate interests.

What a shock!

I don't understand this post. There is no one credited with what is being quoted. And, by the opening, I understand it to be an attempt to cast doubt as to how neutral MSNBC was in their programing during the lead up to the Iraq war. Please tell more about the subject you want to discuss or statement you are making.

There is ample evidence of media bias against Sanders. This, from Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR).

So are you saying Sanders does not get justice and fair debate time from biased panelists?

@avron

I read the article. There are articles on both sides of the argument. The media biases are well known but what does that do to his winning or losing? Can the biases make a candidate win or lose? Who can stop the slide or lift Bernie up? It is not the media, it is not his fans, Bernie Sanders, he and he alone is responsible for winning or losing. As it looks now, Bernie is at #4. I can understand the passion of his fans but to me his slide is clear. Elizabeth Warren came from behind and is raking nationwide above him. Some polls rank Kamala Harris above him. How did that happen?

in 2016, we blamed DNC for his fall, now we are blaming the media, what is next?
