We can be sure that if Jill Stein starts creeping upward in the polls the mainstream media will knock her down to protect Hillary Clinton and keep her from reaching the 15% threshold required to participate in debates. To the pundits and journalists in America's news establishment, electing Hillary Clinton has become a righteous duty. In their minds, Donald Trump is the greatest evil threatening the American way of life, while Hillary Clinton represents a progressive step forward to a new milestone in American history. If you think America's mainstream news media is one-sided, corrupt and biased by accident or for reasons of simple partisanship, you are wrong. Journalists and executives in America's mainstream news media believe they are doing the work of god whatever that god might be. They believe that defeating Donald Trump is their moral duty and they're willing to sacrifice everything to accomplish their mission.
A strong Jill Stein puts Hillary at risk, because her campaign threatens to siphon votes from Hillary without actually putting Stein into the White House. This is the belief among American journalists that will ensure Jill Stein's minimal poll numbers, or a barrage of negative news stories if Stein happens to make any gains. This means that Jill Stein not only has something in common with Bernie Sanders, she has something in common with Donald Trump. All three candidates face the same uphill battle against the well oiled Hillary machine inside American media.

OTOH, cheering on an imbecilic GREENY is what LEFTIES do; not "rightwing nutjobs. ;^)
Noam Chomsky grinds down his teeth when he reads the NYT because he finds it too conservative. The liberal scumbag Cenk Ugyar is also not very happy with what he considers to be the right-leaning MSM.
If the ultra-lefties don't like the MSM it probably means no matter how left they are, they haven't achieved Bernie-Sanders level purity.
LOL. Interesting take on the situation. It makes sense when you consider that "Big Business" tends to be a bunch of amoral opportunists. Hillary Clinton is the queen of amoral opportunists and will keep the crony capitalism machine rolling along.
The Democrat party is perfect for a amoral political opportunists. One just has to whine about the poor and the down-trodden and voila, he is in like Flynn. He does not have to care one iota, just look like he cares. Hillary Clinton was cited as having said that Dem voters are stupid. Case in point.
I’m cheering her on! I’m also recommending that liberal colleagues who were Bernie supporters (and would never vote for Trump) vote for her. She will split the Dem vote. They get to vote for a woman. And Trump wins.
I am doing the same, Bookwoman.
Great minds...
