1) I’m aware msnbc turned into a shit show later on but from 1 up to 4 pm it was bad but nothing egregious
2) And with Deadline Whitehouse hosted by Bush’s press secretary the smearing has begun. Only seconds into the show and they decide to use these to photos on their screen. This could be the worst photo of Bernie I've ever seen btw. 
3) rather than show the national poll with Bernie in the lead, these hacks are showing the poll numbers with African Americans only which still has bIden in the lead, something they only do to polls when Bernie actually leads them
4) the Never Trumpers have clearly turned on Biden and already decided that Bloomberg is their new bff as Bloomberg got more coverage than Bernie or Pete or Biden
5) CAP people like Juanita Colliver are even stanning for Bloomberg as is NY Times Mara Gay.
6) MTP Daily was absolute garbage as everyone has noted today. There’s a lot of videos of some of the worst stuff, none of which included the fact Todd called Bernie the 2020 Trump, we had people pretending African Americans have skipped Bernie In the Q poll.
7) Quinnipiac is same garbage pollster that MSNBC loves to use that pretends everyone voting is over 50 and is the same pollster that had a South Carolina poll a few months back that had Bloomberg and Warren ahead of Bernie with Black voters. No one outside of Q polls has this
8) anyway here are some of the lowlights.

9) then we got this 2 part masterpiece where Todd compares Bernie supporters to Brownshirts
https://mobile.twitter.com/CaseStudyQB/status/1226997853299642369
11) they also claimed none of the candidates are top tier candidates, which is garbage, but I’d rather move to the part where Todd tried to get Tom Steyer to speak out against Bernie and he refused.

12) This was immediately followed by an interview w Michael Bennet where he took shots at Bernie and even had the nerve to try to play up the NH dinner thing that everyone told me no one would bring up, but which I was clearly right about, and was alluding to Mayor Pete getting
13) boo’ed which is what Michael Bennett’s campaign is all about. He has no business still being in the race and all he does is go on tv nonstop and spout off healthcare industry talking points against Medicare4All while kneecapping Bernie. Someone should probably clip it
14) I understand that many people immediately tune out when they see Michael Bennett on the screen, but I’m surprised no one else caught it
15) the other 30 minutes of MTP daily were pretty bad, still pretending youth turnout wasn’t way up in Iowa, but compared to the first 30 minutes it wasn’t that bad.
16) Actually it was still pretty bad as Chuck Todd went out of his way to bring up Bernie and his medical records and have his panel concern troll about it And actually compare Bernie to trump saying he sounded like Trump and his taxes
17) It was actually really bad. Someone should clip it. From 5:53
18) the 6 pm hour with Ari Melber wasn’t perfect, but it had some nice spots like actually showing how Bernie is polling much better with women voters than anyone else
19) Ari had a decent Michael Moore interview that he sort of played intermittently during a panel and even sort of mocked a Biden supporter and also had Nina Turner on.
20) here’s the Nina interview in 3 parts
https://mobile.twitter.com/CaseStudyQB/status/1227027841897914369
23) We got some Republican hack saying that Bernie definitely can’t win that Ari did a terrible job pushing back on. Some idiot named Judd Gregg. Like I said, Ari was all over the place during his hour, sometimes good and sometimes pretty bad
24) Hardball had a worthless interview with Mayor Pete which I sort of fast forwarded thru. Matthews continued giving him softball after softball and telling Pete that he won Iowa among other things. Pete actually tried to argue he has the most inclusive campaign even tho the
25) truth is he has no non-white support at all. He then had Ro on and had Ro having to defending himself against Carville and other things and Ro absolutely destroyed about Carville
26) Entire interview was Ro’s strongest performance ever I would say, by far. Where the hell has this Ro been hiding this whole time ?
27) Chris Matthews was incredibly stupid as usual but he actually had a Never Trump Republican who managed to be stupider than him. After asking why Republicans matter since 91% of them are with Trump no matter what her response was mind numbingly stupid
28) At about 7:30 if anyone wants to clip it, she says, “Ya but the Republican Party has gotten smaller”. But news flash, that just means the 9% of republicans she’s talking about have also gotten smaller... just, wow
29) And that covers MSNBC up thru 8. I will say this. I think their propaganda will continue to scare off low info older voters who watch them from voting for Bernie, but the good thing is they are unable to decide if Pete is their new chosen one or Amy, so that should help
30) over on CNN , inside Politics was actually fairly decent at noon as they had their own poll to push and it was a good poll for Bernie which made it hard for them to ignore those results
31) The next 3 hours were pretty boring with a pointless interview of AB Stoddard but not nearly the kind of wall to wall coverage MSNBC was giving the Dem primary
32) Tapper‘s show was pretty bad as he played the game of ask Republicans which Dem they would prefer as if anyone should care what they think. Also had Hillary Rosen just lying her ass off. But nothing worthy of a clip. Other than maybe the Manchin clip.

33) I didn’t watch Wolf Blitzer which took me to Erin Burnett’s show at 7. She interviewed some random mayor, Bob Carrier, who apparently had a good track record of predicting results. He said it was between Bernie and Pete
34) The rest of the show was pretty eh.. they’re clearly trying to boost Pete and hurt Bernie. CNN‘s Mark Preston made a comment about people “literally” leaving Bernie for dead in October because of his heart attack, which was a tasteless misunderstanding of the word “literally“
35) Anderson Cooper’s show didnt Have anything specifically horrible, tho it was pretty clear that the framing from the political ”experts” was ”Who will step up to save us to Bernie”
36) Cuomo had an interesting interview with Yang who sounds like he’s dropping out after NH, tho I’m slightly concerned he might go to Bloomberg. I hope not, but he said a couple things that seemed pro Bloomberg tho others that were pro Bernie
37) There was a Warren interview and she just seemed done. Voters might help her out tomorrow, but she’s not putting out much a fighting vibe. There was another interview w some Republican that I skipped and then I was rewarded for sitting thru so the crap
38) Chris Cuomo gets the gaslighter of the day award for lying about youth turnout in Iowa while literally standing in front of a board that showed what he was saying was 100% wrong. In fact it gets its own tweet below
39) Chris Cuomo lying to his audience tonight while the graphic behind him shows that he is lying:
40) Meanwhile Don Lemon is where Joe Biden is giving a taped interview and it’s not going well. He is like “I‘m doing the best in the polls unless things have changed in the past 2 days”. And Lemon is like “well actually”
41) I kid you not that at 10:17 Biden said he didn’t run an attack ad against Pete because “it’s not an ad, it’s an online video”.... Jesus Christ Grandpa
42) rest of the 10 pm hour and the first half of 11 pm hr was pretty meaningless so I’m calling it with Lemon at 11:30. I’m done with CNN . I’ll finish off with msnbc primetime below
43) Chris Hayes actually managed to go a whole hour covering 2020 without smearing Bernie. Meanwhile Maddow only speny about half her show on 2020, which was a much needed break for me personally, and it was fine too
44) 10 pm hour started by annoying me with O’Donnell putting the Iowa delegate totals on the screen even tho they aren’t official and Bernie’s team still says they expect to tie. This was followed by another interview of Warren which was stronger than her CNN interview
45) O’Donnell threw some shade at Bernie later. Pretty bad panel overall with people saying Bernie hasn’t even said how he’ll pay for Medicare4All. It’s a total pro-Warren, anti-Bernie panel but no one has accused Bernie of wanting to shoot people in the streets.
46) We had an in studio interview with Klobuchar that I fast forwarded thru followed by another panel wi Joy Reid that was meh.
47) 11th hour started with Trump coverage followed by Biden calling the person a “lying dog-faced pony soldier” which I didn’t see anyone else cover.
they of course ran a segment saying that republicans want Bernie to be the nominee....
they of course ran a segment saying that republicans want Bernie to be the nominee....
48) The rest of the show was garbage with people,like Jason Johnson and AB Stoddard showing up on cable news for the second time of the day to push the same talking points/smears against Bernie. Nothing worthy of a clip tho
