1) Today’s coverage has been pretty damn bad, but before I get to it, let me post the clip I promised two days ago of Inside Politics claiming all of the candidates became less popular in Nov. despite the chart showing Bernie became more popular. He says August but meant Nov.
2) For the record neither Bernie or Biden went up in August, but i know he meant November because he circled November and had previously talked about Mayor Pete and Warren in November
3) Now onto today’s festivities Which include a Bernie Blackout segment that gives the PBS segment from last week a run for its money with two Bernie erasure.
Anyway, there was some trying to tie Bernie to Corbyn crap on Inside Politics but it wasn’t too bad. Then during the

4) 1 pm hour we had Birana Kieler ambushing Ro Khanna in an interview about impeachment where she suddenly started asking him about Cenk and using Cenk to smear Bernie. I’m not posting the clip because I’m tired and I’ve already covered the Cenk stiff enough elsewhere
5) 2 pm hour was relatively fine, then during the 3 pm hour we got Brooke Baldwin desperately trying to tie the U.K. result to Bernie being unelectable despite her guest basically poo pooing the idea. She still at one point ignores his comments and re-asks her question
6) Part 1
here’s the setup from her

8) I like the part of journalism where you ask your guest a question then upon not getting the answer you want, re-ask the question waiting for the answer you wanted all along
9) Nothing of note during Burnett’s hour tho during the Lead with Brianna Kieler filling in for Tapper there was quite the Bernie blackout segment where they spent close to 10 mins talking 2020 while pretending it was a 3 person race between Biden/Warren/Pete. I’ll post later
10) Over on MSNBC the coverage was even worse, as I’m writing this I see that Chris Matthews literally had onNeera and Andrew Sullivan to shit on Bernie so if I don’t finish this thread it’s probably because I had a stroke from watching it, anyway starting with the 1 and 2 pm
11) hours we had the same “reporter” trying to claim this:
12) This guy was so bias and such a hack that at least during the 2 pm hour Katy Tur wasn’t having it. But first he had to show his hand a bit more
“They’re going to have to suck it up”
“They’re going to have to suck it up”
13) Here’s Katy Tur kind of rejecting his crap.
part 1

14) “they don’t particularly like” is the rest of his statement.
anyway here’s part 2 with my finger all over the camera as I’m legitimately having some kind of minor health issue as I do this and am struggling to hold my iPad in the correct spot.

15) nothing during deadline whitehouse as it got interrupted by breaking Supreme Court rules. then MTP Daily was awful with the entire show pretending Bernie isn’t doing well in polls and isn’t electable. Btw Todd uses the exact same words that the reporter did, so you can bet
16) it’s a talking point that they are all parroting from the Axios article he quotes.
17) Then there’s Todd asking the leading question whether the U.K. results are a blinking yellow light for Bernie followed by an idiot Republican spreading pure propaganda.
18) Chuck Todd of course doesn’t push back on this and instead reads a quote from a freaking Conservative, who apparently will appear in a segment with Neera Tanden on msnbc less than 2 hours later, and says this:
19) This is one of the stupider things Todd has said in a while, which is saying something, for several reasons.
first he is implying that Bernie only matters in regard to how he pushed Warren despite the fact that Bernie is doing much better than Warren and in reality is one

20) of 2 Frontrunner with Biden.
but secondly he’s asking if they misread the American democratic electorate based off of how the U.K. voted which is not only a totally separate country, but one where the Tories are to the left of centrists Dems on healthcare and trade.

21) And for those wondering if Chuck Todd and his panel of assholes could get more insufferable.... of course.
22) Just a reminder that there have been no new recent polls showing Warren regaining momentum or Bernie‘s surge fading, yet msnbc and chuck Todd are already acting like there are and he’s an after thought even tho its only been 3 days since all of the blue checkmarks discovered
23) organically of course that Bernie was actually in pretty good shape.
anyway I have Now caught up to Hardball and am rewarded with the segment that I mentioned earlier of Andrew Sullivan and Neera crapping on Bernie

24) Omg the segment is bizarre. Andrew Sullivan is talking out of his ass so badly that Neera almost seems like she isn’t Totally full of crap at one point, tho don’t worry she gets back to her typical crap. Almost everything Sullivan says is factually incorrect. I’ll clip it
25) Here’s the whole segment which was too long for me to record on my iPad so here’s a streamable link streamable.com/ri5f2
