    Default MSNBC Plans to “Pivot” After Facing Backlash for Anti-Bernie Hysteria

    The blowback was swift. “Never thought part of my job would be pleading with a national news network to stop likening the campaign of a jewish presidential candidate whose family was wiped out by the nazis to the third reich,” tweeted Sanders’s communications director, Mike Casca, “but here we are.” By Monday morning, Matthews was facing calls for his head on a platter, with a #FireChrisMatthews hashtag gaining steam on Twitter.

    Now, with Sanders looking more and more like the presumptive nominee, MSNBC’s coverage will have to shift to reflect that. “Will they bring in more contributors that are pro-Sanders? That’s where the chatter is,” another insider told me. “As a matter of news, you have to. Management is sensitive to it, that he is now very possibly gonna be the nominee. He’s winning.” I ran that notion past a network executive. “Yes, the race has changed over the last couple of weeks, and we are going to reflect that and make adjustments,” he said. “One easy way to do that is to seek out more smart, pro-Sanders voices from people who can make our coverage more insightful.” But, the executive added, “Their campaign, like any other, is due fair coverage, not fawning coverage.”

    No one was asking for fawning or for a propaganda network like Fox is for Trump...they just demand fairness in the reporting.

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

    Pathetic leftist bimbalina's.
    We are in an endless duration of constant change where the only thing that doesn't change is that change occurs because energy, matter and time are always present

    Mathews fucked up making a terrible analogy. His apology yesterday was weak and unconvincing.

    He's an idiot and was given the order to apologize.

    Because he didn't want to apologize. He meant what he said.

    Hes been shilling for the right wing for along time.

    Time to give the old fart a rest.
