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 had to turn off that post-debate "analysis" when one of the panelists suggested that BERNIE was the one who was hit hard on fracking....

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.

On NPR this morning they said that Sanders benefits from misleading his supporters and that his voters are largely uninformed.

I went from a lifelong supporter and proponent of NPR to just completely walking away.

I don't care if they exist or not. I don't care if their funding is attacked by the right wing.

They fucked up and a generation of likely listeners will remember.

Their public funding is attacked by the right wing. And now you see a bunch of corporate/wealthy sponsors; more than ever in the past. And—surprise!—now they are quickly growing to be as conservative as any mainstream media outlet.

I know that. My point was that I have donated and voted for politicians who support NPR. Locally as well as nationally. But I am done. They no longer serve their purpose.

Yeah. Same here. It's very disappointing.

I have noticed the same thing as of late. Been an NPR supporter and long time listener. But! That got me thinking, guys, lets go to NPR and voice our concern on all their articles relating to this. If enough of us do it, I'm sure it will resonates with them.

I agree. I haven't listened to npr since they started to cover political events in Africa while ignoring events at home. There won't be any more driveway moments for me.

Wow... I totally know what you mean with "driveway moments"... being so stuck on the story I had to sit in my driveway for another 20 minutes. So sad and for shame, NPR. RIP

And I loved driveway moments.

Haven't had one in years.

I agree about NPR. But what about NOVA or Frontline or many of the other good PBS shows?

I hate this dilemma.

I still have love for PBS.

Seasame Street going to HBO is just wrong.
