Bizarre coverage of Bernie tonight with a lot of shows not been covering it and Don Lemon having a Bernie hater on in Joe Lockhart to actually try to argue that it proves Bernie isn’t honest. What a jackass
Enjoy the attention @joelockhart . You deserve it.
@joelockhart Rich to hear a Bill Clinton guy talking about people not trusting politicians. God forbid the vultures in the media like you had to wait 2 whole days to get word that he had a slight heart attack instead of just discomfort resulting in 2 stints
@joelockhart Btw, the coverage today as been really bizarre, whether that’s to Bernie’s advantage or not. Wold blitzed treated it like the biggest story in the world. Erin Burnett didn’t cover it until pretty far into her show but at least covered it. I didn’t see Anderson Cooper. Nothing
@joelockhart From Cuomo tho we got a weird segment with his daughter sitting in his lap while he joked around with don lemon. And finally we have don lemon waiting until his very last segment to briefly ask 2 people about it who then had less than a minute to respond. His next hour had no
@joelockhart Mention. Meanwhile on msnbc we had chuck todd talk about it at the end, tho not wilt the updated facts. Ari member literally cover it for about 25 secs. Chris Mathews give it no coverage at all
@joelockhart Melber not member. Anyway Chris Hayes didn’t touch it, Maddow waited until the last minute of her show tho at least her comments were nice and she wasn’t using it as an excuse to smear Bernie. It was the first time she had mentioned it all week tho.
@joelockhart After that we had nothing from Lawrence O’Donnell meaning between 6 pm and 11 pm, msnbc covered Bernie for a total of 2 minutes. After that we had the hoarsewhisperer with Brian Williams who did cover it towards the end of the show tho he was using the same
@joelockhart talking points joe Lockhart was using but even worse he claimed that Bernie’s team was lying to people in their statement today, because they used the same term the hospital used instead of the term heart attack
@joelockhart Even Lockhart has to be thinking it’s a bit much to claim Bernie’s team was trying to lie by using the term his doctors used. God forbid the campaign go with what his doctors said. The term btw is “myocardial infarction“
@joelockhart And for the record, Erin Burnett covered it on her show and didn’t accuse it of being a sign that the Bernie campaign was trying to trick people.
@joelockhart It’s worse/stupider than you are imagining streamable.com/hmafa
@joelockhart And now it’s twitter friendly
