1) I guess I’ll put the video receipts in their own thread
2) Here’s CNN’s brief coverage of the poll followed by a long puff piece and interview about Warren from 3 pm. There was no coverage the previous hour for those wondering streamable.com/lsj7c
3) Here’s CNN’s worst coverage of the day. Pure propaganda from 4 pm.

streamable.com/3qpwa
4) And now to MSNBC, their 1 pm coverage was brief but borderline relatively decent. However this is their 2 pm hour coverage and it’s dishonest and awful and it’s actually coming from one of their relatively decent talking heads in Basil Smikle
streamable.com/wu58l
5) and here’s their coverage from 3 pm which I won’t use the phrase “relatively decent”as I actually used the term twice in the same tweet above. Anyway the coverage is very brief and very bad as they continue acting as part of Biden’s campaign and looking into all the critiques
6) that Biden’s people have complained about today, something they never do for Bernie, or really anyone else. Also Kornacki refuses to specifically say out loud that Bernie leads the under 50 vote for the 2nd, maybe the 3rd, hour in a row. streamable.com/ad6b4
7) Putting asked the fact they literally waited until the final 5 mins of coverage and AB Stoddard is a liar who pretends she doesn’t exclude Reuter’s and Harris X from @RealClearNews polling average specifically to hurt Bernie, this short segment on Deadline Whitehouse was
8) actually not abysmal. The second part of the video is in the thread this links to
9) MTP Daily was so bad that I honestly don’t have the energy to clip it since a solid 20 mins of the show was them being full of crap. Interesting to note that in all 5 appearances by Kornacki today he has said Warren’s name ahead of Bernie’s as if she’s leading and not him
10) And refused to state that Bernie is leading, and by a fair amount btw, in the under 50 vote. There was more of the idea that Bernie doesn’t have plans while Warren does and other bogus pro Warren stuff by the Shareblue talking heads like Zerlina
11) Back on CNN they ran the same Warren crowd size puff piece I posted earlier during the 3 pm hour as they all but ignired the Monmouth poll
12) If it looks like I am running out of steam a bit, it’s because I was, but not after what I just saw in the 6 pm hour of CNN, holy crap.
13) Wolf Blitzer looking like a total moron complaining about the Monmouth poll margin of error at the exact same time they put up the info graphic of the CNN poll last week. The problem? It shows right in the graphic that CNN’s margin of error for their poll was even worse
14) Meanwhile the talking heads all were skeptical of the poll while pumping up Warren while @JeffreyToobin embarrassed himself by calling the poll a “Ricky dink” poll and a “joke” despite him having nothing to say about CNN’s poll. He even said that Warren was getting big
@JeffreyToobin 15) crowds and none of the other candidates were which means he is so unaware/or such a liar, I’ll let others decided, that he doesn’t think Bernie gets crowds. Amazing that the polls are only too small when Bernie does well. And even still, Bernie is basically an afterthought
16) in another segment about a poll that Bernie leads in. His name is first because he had more support. He and Warren are at 20% when rounded, but he’s ahead of her, and yet CNN once again acts like he doesn’t exist.
17) I’ll post the clip when it becomes available, but I’d say the above Wolf Blitzer 6 pm segment beats out the Basil MSNBC segment as the worst/biggest pile of propaganda segment of the day, and I don’t actually think Chris Matthews or Don Lemon will be able to top it
18) No mention of the poll during the 6 pm hour of MSNBC. I’m getting pretty fatigued so I might just post the cnn clip soon and then nothing for a while until maybe late tonight. Be awesome if someone else could watch it for me tho
19) It was almost impossible to find this, but thankfully one random guy in YouTube seemed to. Anyway this entire segment is awful especially Jeffrey Toobin;s hypocrisy/claims about crowd size, but it’s kind of funny in a sad way to see Blitzer crap on Monmouth’s margin or error
20) Only for CNN to show their own poll and have it say on the screen at the 20 second mark that their margin of error was over 6 and thus higher than Monmouth’s. streamable.com/4lwax
21) I’m trying to take a break, and Chris Matthews has to go and do this on his show... come on man.
22) Anyone not paying attention, which I assume is most of @HardballChris audience, would think the numbers on the left are the new ones, not the ones on the right
@HardballChris 23) I will say it’s not quite as bad when you watch the segment as he set it up to be a surprise, so he had the old poll first and then looped in the new one. Would have been far worse if he just had both polls on the screen at same time from start
@HardballChris 24) Just watched Harball, and like I said above, I might have been a bit harsh on Matthews. His coverage was decent. At 8 pm Chris Hayes waited until the very end of his show to once again talk about poll size and margin of error over and over
25) while making sure to talk about the age breakdowns in the Monmouth poll but not actually say that Bernie leads the under 50 vote which brings MSNBC to over 6 segments where they talked about that breakdown today without ever mentioning that Bernie leads the under 50 vote.
26) Warren surrogate in hiding, @_waleedshahid once again embarrassed himself by lumping Bernie into Warren’s struggles with African American voters. And the next hour Maddow didn’t mention the poll
@_waleedshahid 27) Back on CNN during the 7 pm hour they had a Biden surrogate in to complain about the poll methodology and tell everyone to look at Real Clear as if Real Clear isn’t a terrible poll aggregator. She also claimed that Biden has led in every other post debate poll which isn’t
28) true as there was a garbage Change Research poll that had Biden not in first
29) Oh dear god, now she quoted Nate Silver. And also said Warren AND BERNIE have work to do with people of color. This isn’t true as Bernie is doing fine with people of color and actually needs to work on the over 50 vote but of course there was no fact check
30) They then quickly pivoted to how great Warren is yet again. The next hour we had CNN making more and more excuses for Biden. Pretty funny to have John Berman saying how high the Monmouth poll’s margin of error is with no mention that CNN’s own poll had a higher one
31) Somewhat decent interview by Van Jones tho of course they had to pump up Warren and her crowds without mentioning Bernie’s crowds. Also dared to call it the “Summer of Warren”
32) Next hour they claimed that all of the other polls showed Biden in a clear first, Warren in second and Bernie in 3rd which is utter bull as there very own cnn poll had Bernie ahead of Warren, but remember facts only matter if they are used to hurt Bernie. So it’s ok to lie
33) to their own viewers because it helps Warren and hurts Bernie and therefore ultimately helps Biden. They conclude by saying Warren is gaining on Bernie. I was hoping not to have to post anymore clips but this segment is so ridiculous, I guess I’ll have to
34) Just awful stuff with Cuomo saying Warren’s getting crowds while Bernie is attacking the media before then pivoting to a Warren vs Biden race.

streamable.com/kgeev
35) I really enjoyed hearing @AnaKasparian actually talk about Bernie and mention how we want someone to make Republicans bend to our will. Hell ya, we do
@AnaKasparian 36) Nothing from Don Lemon the next hour and nothing the next 25 minutes into the next hour. He supposedly is covering the poll later, but I’ve watched enough Don Lemon.
@AnaKasparian 37) I had a feeling Lawrence was going to be especially bad tonight, and I was right. He became the first person on either network all day to tease the poll results with a split screen of Warren and Biden as if Bernie doesn’t exist
@AnaKasparian 38) O’Donnell did actually mention the YouGov poll but he and his panel just kept focusing on Warren and Biden. Pretty funny to hear one of the talking heads say the polls have been stable for everyone but Warren only for the screen to show this.
@AnaKasparian 39) And we have 11th Hour where Kornacki embarrassed himself by claiming the Monmouth poll was Bernie’s best poll all year only to seconds later report on the Morning Consult poll which had Bernie at the same level. Also had another segment of all Warren vs. Biden
@AnaKasparian 40) However in the worst segment of any show today we had Harry Enten being the piece of garbage liar he is on Don Lemon’s second hour. There was the typical spin during the segment but this from Enten was beyond the pale. He said his polling average results and they were
@AnaKasparian 41) unquestionably not true in anyway. I’m assuming Enten did his favorite game of claiming he has a polling average when it’s really just 2-3 cherry picked polls as he claimed his polling average showed Biden with 28% of the vote, Warren at 19% And Bernie at about 15%
@AnaKasparian 42) Just an absurd statement as Bernie now leads Warren in something like 37 of the last 42 national polls, with today being the only tie. He probably averaged Monmouth, Fox News, and CNN and that’s it which is a joke
@AnaKasparian 43) Harry Enten’s average consists of averaging Bernie’s 3 worst polls this month and today’s Q poll and then rounding Warren up. What a joke. Bernie literally leads Warren in 32 of the last 37 national polls and is tied in 1, meaning he trails Warren in only 5 of 37, yet Harry
@AnaKasparian 44) Counts 2 of the polls Bernie trails in and the one poll from today where he’s tied. So only 1 of the 32 polls Bernie leads Warren in count in @ForecasterEnten freaking Poll of Polls average.
@AnaKasparian @ForecasterEnten 45) It’s late and I’m tired but I just realized my math is wrong. Bernie only trails Warren in 4 of the last 37 polls, not in 5 of them, because one of them is a tie

This is confirmation of what was pretty obvious for weeks now. Fauci, the CDC, and the Biden admin all are intentionally trying to get as many people infected w Omicron as possible while pretending that’s not what’s going on.
They lied and said cases were going up but not hospitalizations, then that hospitalizations were going up but it was people w Covid not from Covid, then that those in hospitals were less sick, all while refusing to take steps to “flatten the curve” or slow the spread
They’ve pretended long Covid doesn’t exist, and because the CDC director is incompetent she let it slip early when she said it was “good news” that a large portion of those hospitalized were people w multiple comorbidities which is a fancy way of saying the elderly/old/disabled

Absolute clown stuff from Chait, who has ties to charter schools btw, as aside from the fact the Biden admin has wrongly refused to close schools, the data shows the exact opposite of what he claims
Also any article that still claims, “Children face little risk of adverse health effects from contracting COVID” should probably be reported for misinfo
Also probably a tell that the author is a hack when he describes what went down in Chicago as, “ The Chicago Teachers Union, one of the more radical unions, did stage a strike, but it was met with firm opposition from Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot and ended quickly."

They anticipated the need so much that they refused to waive IP protections so that more vaccines could be made worldwide and in doing so helped create the situation where Omicron was created. Total gaslighting by @chrislhayes here. One of the worst segments he’s done in a while
Literally the argument against boosters was in part that new variants would be created if we said screw everyone but the US and thus getting them vaccinated should be prioritized and Hayes even did segments covering this yet now he’s lying to the point where I guarantee you
The higher ups stepped in and told him that this is the line people at MSNBC were to take about this or else. Can’t be actually blaming the incoming disaster on the Biden admin botching the hell out of things.

Every other quote tweet of the above tweet is right wing morons who think this is the worst thing that’s ever happened and certainly the worst video of cops they’ve ever seen. Just complete morons and babies
My personal favorite was the guy who said that that if this is what the cops are going to do then “Hell ya defund the police”

A mantra of mine, aside from unwritten rules are for suckers, is that half measures never work and are never a good answer.

at it’s best, most favorable interpretation, the Biden admin’s currents stance on Covid is a half measure not only in what to do to fight Covid but
It’s also a half measure about how to treat the willfully and without a damn good medical excuse unvaccinated.

even they’re statement which reads like the unvaxxed can prepare to die is insincere regardless of whether you would support that or not because it’s not like steps
Are truly being taken to separate the vaccinated from the unvaccinated. As a result any idea that unvaxxed don’t directly impact vaxxed is absurd as last I checked they still go to the same hospitals when sick and in many instances the same jobs, schools, and store

Joe Biden ran on Republicans having an epiphany and being able to work W them and he can’t even get the supposed Dems to go along w him. Anyone who pretended to take his “epiphany” argument at face value should be laughed out of the room and not given space on tv to spin more BS
Only a complete moron who woke up out of being in a coma for the previous 10 years could have possibly believed Republicans would work w Biden as he claimed. Yet media acted as if this was a real possibility because they are largely made up of hacks who just wanted Bernie lose
Here he is right when he first started running cnn.com/2019/05/14/pol…
