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.”

MSNBC isn’t fair to us either - - they protect the liberal elite corrupt power structure...
The Witch was gonna send Fredo to throw him down the stairs.
I agree.
People who know him a long, long time think he’s mentally ill.
“...Bernie Sanders went ballistic ...”
Look out, MSNBC... Bernie’s just a [cough] “socialist” right now... but once he finds his AK47, he gon’ go full-retard Communist on yo’ asses....
If he looks like he might get the nomination—they may take him out the “Clinton Way” accident, illness. or death by assassination. Liberals are truly Machiavellian.
People are saying Trump might refuse to debate a Democrat “Because he is scared”. What a joke. He loved debates! He will do as many as possible. As they say on the farm, Never challenge a pig to a mud wrestling contest. The pig will win and he will enjoy it too.

With the focus on NBC, Comcast skates again...
Seriously, how long will it take you all to wake TF up?
If your neighbor had an endless supply of killer wolves, would you keep your focus on the wolves alone?
I’ve heard only one other individual complain about Comcast. It wasn’t a FReeper. It was Trump.
Did you ever observe some of those bimbos that march in the "Kill your baby parades"?
The horse faced lesbians are the good looking wxmyn in the herd.
Bernie believes that media companies are going to stand by and let him win the election so he can then take over their businesses.
You’re right; the shrinking number of people that believe the media are already arrayed against Trump (and he won anyway), so now the remaining Dem candidates have to appeal to people who are watching their dirty laundry aired in these debates - and that is what is demoralizing to the Dem base.
Don't be surprised if he doesn't end up HELPING them succeed!
