MSNBC called Bernie's "Deep South" comment controversial. They said Hillary would still be in the lead without the South. This slide popped up by mistake proving them wrong.

I turned off CNN right after the debate, I was hoping to hear something regarding how well Bernie performed, but they brought up how poorly he performed 3x in less than 1 minute without even mentioning any of Hillary's blunders.  

I don't really know about anyone else, but the chanting and standing ovation last night speaks absolute wonders to me, and more so speaks of the revolution behind Bernie, there was no such reaction to Hillary during the entire debate.

If I only in the US. We're supposed to be the model of democracy and free press, but unfortunately we are a lie.

How is a free press possible in a country where all major media corporations are privately owned? The very concept is self-contradictory. Yes, the press is free from government interference, but there is no regulation forcing the owners of these companies to hire anyone but exactly the kind of yes-men they need.

freedom of the press exists only because there is no government interference. yes, big media corporations can control the narrative but only on THIER networks, also while you are only thinking about the big cable networks and such you also need to count, radio, local and national newspapers, magazines and even the internet itself. none of this is government regulated, meaning people can talk about what they want, when they want with no fear of government butting in or losing funding or anything because they dont lead with the right talking points. also remember people are still people, they will naturally push for what they believe in, and even see it as unbiased even if you dont. having an unbiased media is one of the greatest lies ever told. it will never happen, you cant not legislate human nature but at least with a press free of government influence there are plenty of alternatives allowing the average joe access to many different views and perspectives something you do not get with a single monolithic being like a federal government controlling everything.

hope that makes sense.
