    Can't speak for anyone else but I haven't backed out of anything. I'm just analyzing the race as I see it which some seem to think is a faux pas.

    OK, just vote for Bernie! :smiley:

    The boogieman MSM, backed by corporations and desperate for ratings, hates the one guy who is challenging Clinton, making it a race, driving ratings and generating revenue for them? Sorry I don't buy that. It's moneymaking season in the political news world and a vibrant Sanders campaign helps reach that end.

    Insanity. Sorry, but that's what's happening. The MSM is absolutely in the bag for her.

    I will always support him and his ideas, no matter who gets the nomination.

    The DNC is in the bag for her. The MSM is in the bag for the almighty dollar. Ratings are king.

    I still think this sanders guy is just a grumpy old man who wants the kids off his lawn.
    He is not in the race at all.
    He is just being offered the senior citizen discount of "there, there grandpa, go ahead say what you have to say no one cares but we will listen until you are done rambling.
    Sanders is the Jeb. There for fill.

    You're wrong. While ratings are big, the 6 corps that own and control the MSM control the way the election is broadcast. Power of influence aka manipulation. More powerful than untied money is corporately tied money. Corporation owned politicians and 1 business monkey who is a Corp in himself are the only people MSM push for. Fact. Yes, I have to write that AGAIN.

    You say you want to know who these corps are? Sure thing. you are certainly welcome to provide credible sources to back up what you say. Let's see 'em.

    I say that the MSM is in the bag for the almighty dollar and your rebuttal is a piece claiming:

    "And what’s more, the amount of revenues from the tightly controlled mainstream media machine are enough to beat out Finland’s entire GDP, buy every NFL team 12 times, and fund the government bailout of General Motors 5 times."

    That kind of proves my point.

    No, you're still missing the point. It's not just any money, it is corporately tied money. funny how you conveniently left the bold sentence out.
    From Time Warner (CNN, HBO, TIME) to GE (NBC, Comcast), a whopping 6 corporations control 90% of the mainstream media within the United States. And what’s more, the amount of revenues from the tightly controlled mainstream media machine are enough to beat out Finland’s entire GDP, buy every NFL team 12 times, and fund the government bailout of General Motors 5 times. Checkout the powerful graphic below and share it with others to inform them as to how controlled the media really is:

    Nothing in the piece you linked to contradicts my point. Nor does it support your argument that the MSM hates Bernie. Are you confusing me with another board member or are you just arguing to argue? Very strange.

    Attempting to separate money from corporate money isn't working. Or you just don't get it. Again, I worked in media, but after repeating myself several times, you either don't even want to understand or you just want to fight.

    There are too many links to post to prove my point because it is a well known fact that the MSM refused to cover Sanders until Sanders became an undeniable threat to Gillary. So if you want to know, you can do your own research. It's all out there from credible independent sources because certainly the MSM won't admit it. Here's one. You have a good night.

    Fu(k the issues it's all about the race!

    As FiveThirtyEight's Nate Silver explained this week:

    Our benchmarks suggest that Sanders ought to win Vermont, Minnesota, Colorado, Massachusetts, Oklahoma and Tennessee to be on track for the nomination. Sanders is going to rout Clinton in Vermont, of course; he’s also slightly ahead in Massachusetts polls, although not by as much as our targets say he “should” be. There hasn’t been enough recent polling in Colorado or Minnesota for us to make forecasts of the caucuses there, but we’d probably consider Sanders the favorite in those states also.

    Sanders trails in polls of Oklahoma (narrowly) and Tennessee (badly), however, when he probably needs to win those states too. Meanwhile, he’s losing states such as Georgia by a wider margin than our benchmarks suggest he can afford. The Democrats’ delegate allocation is quite proportional, so these margins matter; underperforming his targets on Super Tuesday would mean that Sanders would have to make up more ground later on with less time left on the clock.

    Skip Bayless's name has never been evoked in a complimentary fashion. :lol:
