You seem to be implying two different things here. Which is it? Is this gonna be the new reason why Bernie doesn't get the nomination and the new excuse for the Bros to not show up when he doesn't? in '16 it was the DNC that kept him from the nomination... now it's Bezos and the Corporate media?

RedSoxFan9 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 left politics has become more popular over the past few years but there really aren't leftist columnists at these newspapers. wonder why. in contrast, "never Trump" Republicans have plenty of columns despite the absence of never Trumpers in the wild.

Same here... I have a guy on my Facebook he makes me HATE Bernie despite me actually liking him a bit. I do think that momentarily attack on the media thing Bernie flirted with then walked back came from desperation and ego. Then common sense prevailed.

RedSoxFan9 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 WaPo editors know what will happen to their careers if they hire leftists or promote labor friendly ideas. Bezos doesn't need to micromanage the Washington Post to get the results he wants. I can't be the only person here who has read Manufacturing Consent.

And since the original posts Bernie walked it back anyway yeah and said Bezos isn’t steering it. So I guess now we have to decide if we believe him or not or something.

I've also worked at a major News network and have sat in on editors meetings about coverage. The biggest thing News organizations are worried about these days is getting sued and losing because of the rightward shift in the courts. Is corporate news an issue that should be paid attention to? Yes. But not in the way that Bernie is trying to slyly sell to his devotees. 2 minutes ago, RedSoxFan9 said: criticizing the media is bad? Trump has destroyed liberals'' brains Who said that?

RedSoxFan9 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 If you think they're the same, maybe you've taken too many breaks from media. Sanders and Warren are the only two candidates on the left side of the political spectrum but there is still a considerable gap between them.
