MSNBC cut away from a live Bernie Sanders press conference this afternoon as the Democratic presidential candidate was talking about his opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement.

Watch the cutaway:

"You've been listening to Bernie Sanders, less of a press conference, more of a speech. I want to turn back to the Republican side of things," said Kate Snow, as she pivoted to news of Ted Cruz firing a press spokesperson.

MSNBC owner Comcast has lobbied for the TPP. Last year, it fired host Ed Schultz, an outspoken opponent of the agreement.

A Media Matters study found that outside of Schultz's show, the TPP was mentioned only twice on MSNBC during an 18-month period. Last year, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough admitted to The Intercept that his network was "guilty" of ignoring the TPP.

So Sanders does not like the TPP anymore than Trump. I think that I am right. This election is NOT about liberal vs conservatism.

This election is about nationalism vs globalism. I think this is a fight that needs to be fought now, and determined in favor of nationalism.

Globalism has been destroying American values, destroying Constitutional values and sovereignty, destroying the American middle class, destroying the American worker, and destroying American small business.
