Bernie Sanders calls out MSNBC over campaign coverage
New York Post ^ | February 21, 2020 | Emily Smith

Posted on 02/21/2020 6:53:20 PM PST by karpov

Bernie Sanders went ballistic at NBC and MSNBC execs ahead of the Democratic debate this week — jabbing one top TV exec repeatedly in the face with his finger and accusing the networks of offensive negative coverage.

Surging Sanders stormed through the walk-through for the Las Vegas debate, singling out one top producer at the end and aggressively sticking his finger in his face. One shocked witness said, “Bernie marched right up to NBC and MSNBC’s head of creative production and began jabbing his finger right in his face, yelling, ‘Your coverage of my campaign is not fair . . . Your questions tonight are not going to be fair to me.’ ”

Sanders did not hold back as he continued to rant about MSNBC coverage. According to the witness, “The NBC exec told Sanders he would be treated fairly.”

A separate insider confirmed the confrontation, saying Sanders was so steamed he also sparred with MSNBC boss Phil Griffin outside the green room moments before the debate began. “Sen. Sanders stated, ‘Phil, your network has not been playing a fair role in this campaign. I am upset. Is anything going to change? . . . I hope you will do better.’ ”

The Democratic front-runner has been left seeing red over repeated slights against him by liberal MSNBC pundits and hosts, including Chris Matthews, who suggested the senator might cheer socialist executions in Central Park. And Chuck Todd — a moderator of Wednesday’s debate — even quoted a story that described Sanders supporters as a “digital brownshirt brigade.” Todd was also tackled by seething Sanders onstage after the debate: “I do not appreciate your comment about my supporters,” adding the Holocaust reference was “offensive.”

Trump gets way worse every day all day all stations. The rats can’t take any negative at all. Pelosi got one question and she just about had a mental breakdown.

Is Bernie growing a spine? He didn’t have one in 2016.

In a way Trump is lucky. The rancid media have hit him with everything they have for three straight years. It's like going 15 rounds with Iron Mike and not only still being on your feet, but stronger and fitter than ever.
There really is not much they can do this election year that is any different from what they have done before. They have basically left him immune to their attacks.
None of the Democrats is in any position to survive the sustained attacks coming their way.

So MSDNC treated Bernie like a Republican?

I’ll bet it wasn’t half that bad.

Bernie needs to be the nominee.

Clear choice, socialist vs free market.

I am so sick of the f***ing third world coming in to take us over.

Kazoo was once used to carry the melody to Sweet Georgia Brown, not this Hindu garbage.

But these days you have to curry favor with those who favor curry. I’ll go watch some documentaries of the glory days of the British Raj. Pip pip, cheerio, and Lea & Perrins or Major Grey’s chutney on everything.
