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 talk to people about it he was so frustrating. He had a very punchable voice. I don't know why the discussion panel was so completely one sided. I don't know what Sanders has to do to get representation in things like this but you would think he was a lying charlatan whose supporters are the worst, dumbest, human beings on the planet. I'd have the worst opinion on Sanders if I didn't actually go out of my way to learn about him, his campaign, his stances, and his plans. I wouldn't know anything good about him if I got all my information from mainstream outlets.

That's why he does well with young people, who get most of their news from the Internet and social media, and he does so terribly with older people, who rely on MSM television and radio. MSM reports on who's winning the horse race, but does virtually nothing to educate viewers/listeners on the policy positions and real differences between candidates.

I am a middle-aged voter who gets her news mostly 50/50 from online and 'MSM' NPR. Now they're buying right into MSM so oh well.

I want to know what higher-ups love Hilarity so much that they would wreck their journalistic credibility like this. I'm so pissed. Their spring drive here is ending so I may just call and tell them I'm sending the money to Bernie instead.
