2. A Summary Of The Corporate Media's Treason Towards The People Over Bernie Sanders With Economist Robert Reich
Here is a video where Rachel Maddow repeats back Clinton's talking points as fact and presses the point. I thought I should document this since Maddow & Chris Hayes have stopped putting their shows online because of me :)
Clinton turns sights to general election Rachel Maddow reports on Hillary Clinton shifting the focus of her campaign to general election strategy ahead of the Indiana primary as Bernie Sanders continues to insist he will contest the Democratic nomination at the national convention.
What's up;
Rachel Maddow doesn't want a candidate to force a contested convention so is campaigning against it.
She points out a TINY bit of the story from 2008 about Obama & Hillary.
If they are unbound delegates then why are they put with Hillary... why are delegates pledged to an establishment candidate in the first place. (I understand some people are marketing Hillary's talking points on this matter as fact & I've been going through them)
OK. So the woman Obama proved was a liar AND most like the GOP Establishment's George Bush holds an 11% lead... you think this is good ofr the democratic party or even America? (America comes first, btw)
Funny thing is that while Rachel Maddow puts up these figures she leaves out the fact that the media has been ADDING the super delegates to Hillary's total (including when she was commentating with the others of Bernie Sander's Indiana win) to give her the momentum to win. It's not like the media doesn't know that news doesn't affect belief.
Here is what MSNBC and other media stations show the people most of the time (the wrong numbers, i.e. numbers that (look for how the delegates are portrayed at the bottom of the screen);
Morning Joe: What is the path forward for Sanders?Sen. Bernie Sanders picked up a win in the Indiana primary, and he is vowing to fight on in his campaign. Chris Jansing and Time's Jay Newton-Small discuss.
This is one of the media's many ways of trying to influence the perception of the people to pick the establishment candidate. More listed in the article extract below;
Here is a close up;
I'm just saying, Maddow's hypocrisy (or blindness dues to emotional involvement) on this issue is glaringly obvious. Saying a higher total due to the Super Delegate by the media helps create teh perception of momentum WHICH ACTUALLY CREATES MOMENTUM. The media knows this. It's why they can brag about influencing people. But when there is an emotional involvement in the candidate (irrespective of evidence) clearly no one in the corporate media hast any moral qualms about betraying everything America stands for.
This situation prevails across the entire media;

1. Major Media Blackout
When Sanders began his campaign, as he often recounts, he had virtually no national name recognition and trailed Clinton by 60 to 70 points in national polls. The major media barely breathed his name, even when he began drawing crowds of 20,000 or more to summer rallies. This was partly the result of the obsession with Trump, but also because the conglomerates controlling the media hardly wanted to promote such a fierce critic of Wall Street and the 1 percent.
In December, the nightly news networks had allotted Trump 23 times more coverage than Sanders; on ABC alone 81 minutes to Trump for the year, compared to only 20 seconds for Sanders. While Sanders was holding extensive campaign events and press availabilities for months, Clinton was mostly avoiding public events and media avails, with the media largely ignoring its rebuff. (Even today, Clinton often passes on press conferences.)
2. They’re Debating When?
Ironically, unlike the Republican National Committee, the DNC manipulated its debate schedule to have the fewest number of debates at the worst times, intended to minimize voter viewing, including setting them on holiday weekends and the Saturday night before Christmas.
The goal was to restrict voter exposure and side-by-side comparison with other candidates who offered a significant alternative to Clinton, which served to keep name recognition off Sanders and his prescription for change artificially low. Additional debates were only added much later after widespread condemnation of the DNC.
3. Sanders Booms, Media Works to Marginalize
As the votes began coming in for Bernie, especially with his big win in New Hampshire, Clinton surrogates were given extra time as TV analysts to downplay the results, and the media narrative shifted.
The media paradigm typically is crafted inside the Washington Beltway and New York boardrooms, with other reporters compelled by their own editors or self-censorship to follow along, a practice also known as pack journalism.
The next storyline depicted Sanders as a narrow candidate because the majority of his support came from students, working-class white voters, independents, and low- to moderate-income voters, largely ignoring that Clinton’s own base failed to include any of those groups who would be critical to winning a general election in November. Or that Clinton continues to fail to move support among those constituencies.
4. Vote Rigging
After Sanders’ sweeping win in New Hampshire, the DNC went into hyper drive to break his momentum, starting in the next voting state Nevada.
Concerned Sanders would win Nevada, Sen. Harry Reid, the former Senate Majority Leader and most powerful elected official in Nevada, as it later emerged, arranged a plan with owners of Las Vegas casinos, where many caucuses were being held, and other employers, to ensure Clinton would win. The Nevada caucuses were then rigged with massive voting irregularities such as casino owners orchestrating which workers would be allowed to vote and, in clear intimidation, openly monitoring how they voted.
Vote tampering also occurred in other states, most recently in Arizona where on election day, polling locations were sharply cut forcing many voters to stand in line for up to five hours in the heat, with some leaving before casting a vote.
Voter suppression laws, rampant now across the country, disproportionately disenfranchise students and young voters, a group that has voted for Sanders by margins of up to 80 percent. The laws, passed by right-wing legislatures and governors, also target African Americans and Latinos, which will ultimately harm any Democratic nominee in November.
5. The Sexism Canard
Desperate for attack lines against Sanders, the Clinton camp and her adherents have tried to paint him as a sexist, employing the same tactic of exaggerated small slights they used against Barack Obama in 2008 (remember “you’re likeable enough”). Add in the clumsy effort of Clinton surrogates Gloria Steinem and Madeleine Albright to criticize young women who vote for Sanders.
6. Undemocratic Primaries
Sanders has won the overwhelming majority of independent voters in “open” primaries or caucuses that allow them to vote.
Because of the media blackout, many voters do not gain sufficient information about Sanders until shortly before election day. Early voting reflects lower name recognition for Sanders, benefiting Clinton and enabling her to win some close races.
That contributes to the meme of her inevitability, but does not indicate she is the stronger candidate. In competitive states, Sanders has won a majority of those who voted on election day. When voters have more time to compare candidates based on sufficient information, they tend to choose Bernie.
7. Superdelegates Toe the Line
Enormous pressure was brought to bear on the some 700 superdelegates, mostly Democratic elected officials and other high-profile DNC members, to fall in line behind Clinton, facing intimidation or promises well honed by a Clinton machine that has had 25 years of practice.
The DNC created the undemocratic superdelegate system to confer the power on the Democratic Party hierarchy to handpick their preference and blunt the ability of insurgents to win the nomination after outsiders George McGovern and Jimmy Carter shocked the party establishment by winning nominations in the 1970s.
8. Who’s Most Electable, Who Is Not
It’s repeated over and over by her superdelegates and the media—Clinton is the most electable candidate, and Democrats must rally behind her to beat Trump. The line has been so drummed into the narrative that many voters in exit polls cite it as the reason they voted for Clinton.
One problem: it’s not true. Virtually every poll for months has shown Sanders faring better against Trump, Cruz and Kasich than Clinton, often by a wide margin, even as the media has already played out the attack lines Republicans would use against Sanders.
9. The Math, the Math
The final defense for the Clinton camp and the major media, spinning out from the eastern media centers to local news outlets, is that Clinton is too far ahead in delegates so the race is over.
To strengthen the case, Clinton’s big margin among superdelegates is added to the total of delegates won in primaries and caucuses. Even though, unlike pledged delegates, superdelegates are not committed to their position. They can flip at will, as they did from Clinton to Obama in 2008.
Next time you hear a pundit say Sanders needs to win 60 percent of the remaining delegates, “and that just can’t happen,” consider his 80 percent margin in Idaho and Utah.
In state after state, especially those that are not closed to independents, where Sanders has had time to campaign so voters get to know him, his platform, consistent record and unimpeachable character, and when the voting process is allowed to move forward without open rigging, Sanders does increasingly well.
10. Forward to Victory
Sanders himself says the path to his nomination is challenging, but still within range. States that were the biggest hurdle, in the South where the Clintons have a long history and Sanders was a complete unknown, are all past.

Now an indepth look at a specific statement;
(Following comments are based on list of links below and stuff above)
What she seems to find funny is that Sanders would dare contest Hillary over her and the Democratic parties (and medias) use of the Super Delegates to build momentum for Hillary in the public's perception. Clearly, right now the media (including Rachel Maddow) are doing the "We may have bragged about being able to influence public perception before but right now we are going to pretend these views came from the people while we market the latest talking points to get the establishment way"
Rachel Maddow doesn't like it. That's why she was very careful not to ask any pertinent questions (see link list below of possible relevent) about Hillary's past during her last townhall. Smart. Dishonorable. Un-American.
BTW, Rachel Maddow wants all her hate mail directed to Rachel@msnbc.com
So the question is, with only a 4% lead in delegates by Obama, WHY did Hillary Clinton give up so fast? Could it have been the negative publicity of fighting someone who had no problem put her in her lying place?
Hillary, by this time, had already used racist tactics and laid the groundwork for the birther movement that would plague Obama throughout his Presidency while she supported him or ran away from him depending on current national polls. Imagine arguing in the National "Democratic" Convention.
"Hillary, why are you using racist tactics against Obama? Does this mean you were intentionally using racist call words like "super predators" to put black kids away for life (I understand using "thugs" is a new thing and "gang" was the old thing)
OR
"Hillary, why do you smile so much when you lie and are caught lying while you nit pick on Obama and the media lets you. I mean your lies are big but still you stand there smiling like you just put one over everybody. Are you a habitual liar or do you just enjoy it during elections?"
OR
"Hillary, you supported the Iraq War vote with the passion you gave to supporting - the already proven to be faulty - crime bill of 1994 to win right wing votes for an election... will you say and do anything no matter how bad it is for the country and it's citizens as long as it's polling well? Or was that old Hillary the real Hillary? Yes, we understand that you said it was a mistake and endorsing the TPP 45 times was a mistake and the crime bill was a mistake (looking into others), well, I don't quite know if people care about your first two terms in office... you are a woman, so "third term for candidate if they are women" seems to be a popular thing right now... anyways, I digress, the point is, if your experience is one of always making the wrong decisions and then apologizing for it can we really risk such a person leading the country during these tumultuous times? We already know about how you took part in destabilizing Libya, Yemen ..." I could go on for a while.
