[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't watch CNN or Fox. Read/Listen to news facts not opinions. Come up with your own opinions. Vote. Accept outcome and move on.  [/quote]

[b]I agree that both are trash, but for different reasons. There is no left wing equivalent to Fox. MSNBC tries, but it's a pale shadow. It has a former Republican Congressman on for like 15 hours a week. When Fox gives a former Democratic Congressman that much airtime, we'll talk. CNN's big bias - and MSNBC too, for that matter - is that it wants to keep you emotionally invested enough to watch through the commercials. The easiest way to do that is to make you anxious or angry. So, they give you the bad news. They fill airtime with cheap to produce shows with people voicing opinions at each other. Ca I ble news is hot garbage. [/b][/quote]

This is 100% accurate.

MSNBC has become a rehab center for #NeverTrump Bush supporters. If the “Democratic” network is Joe Scarborough talking to Nicole Wallace, Bill Kristol and Michael Steele about who the Democrats should nominate I’d rather watch Fox News. At least Fox News is honest about their agenda. MSNBC is centrist Republican neo-con propaganda masquerading as the left’s answer to Fox News. The left’s answer to Fox News is actually Krystal Ball, Michael Moore and Jacobin. [/quote]
You mean the socialist left’s answer to Fox News is Jacobin et al. And you label anything that is not socialist or does not explicitly support Sanders as “centrist Republican neo-con propaganda.” So i think you actually need to be honest about your agenda.[/quote]

Look at the polls. Sanders and Warren’s supporters make up a large demographic of the party yet there is no network that reflects their worldview. All I see on MSNBC are former Bushies like Jennifer Rubin and Nicole Wallace telling Democrats who they should elect. MSNBC is more welcoming of Bill Kristol than Sanders, AOC, etc. That should tell you something. They are the network of neo-conservatives and neo-liberals. The last person on that network who truly represented workers was Ed Shultz.[/quote]
Sanders are Warren have very different worldviews. As Franklin Foer writes, “They diverge on fundamental questions about the role of the state, the contours of the market, and the underlying goals of political life.” I don’t think it’s accurate to lump them together in this context.

Ed Schultz works for RT now. It seems like you are lost in some World War II era or 1950s depiction of who represents “workers.” You are doing Bernie no favors with that.

Anyone who is interested in their differences should read Foer’s piece in The Atlantic. [/quote]
