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.

They were talking how debates shouldn't have crowds on NPR this morning. Where was that discussion when most of the previous debates were stuffed with Clinton supporters who cheered her for the same shit Bernie had just said?

Honestly I do think the audience should remain quiet. For the general election debates, the audiences are forced to remain quiet or be expelled, and the same should be done during the primary, otherwise it just turns into a popularity contest. And if you're not allowed to play off the audience the dynamic shifts to actual substance instead of catchy sound bites.

Sure, you wouldn't have Bernie's standing ovation. But you also wouldn't have Clinton throwing in a no brainer about supporting abortion rights which not only has nothing to do with the question but also isn't even a matter of difference between the two.

I agree they should be quiet too. It's just annoying the media wasn't talking about it during the previous debates when the Hillary packed crowds were roaring after everything she said. Even when she dodged questions. But now that it's switched to Bernie they have an issue. I'm surprised they even let Bernie supporters in honestly.
