Friend,
Bernie Sanders is now the clear front-runner for the Democratic nomination, and the freak-out at Comcast-owned MSNBC is out of control.
Chuck Todd has described Sanders supporters as “brown shirts,” and James Carville said that Vladimir Putin would celebrate Bernie’s win in Nevada.
Chris Matthews said that if the Soviet Union had won the Cold War, Bernie would have been “cheering” for “executions in Central Park.”
And then Matthews compared Bernie’s win in Nevada to Hitler’s 1940 invasion of France and suggested that the country would be better off with four more years of Trump.
It got so bad that one of MSNBC’s own political analysts called out the network, saying they sounded “like out of touch aristocrats in a dying aristocracy.”
Common Dreams is the nonprofit, independent antidote to the corporate media. Will you donate to help fund our coverage of the 2020 campaign and counter the corporate media’s smear of Bernie Sanders?
We knew that if any true progressive won the Democratic nomination, the corporate media would lose their minds, especially MSNBC. MSNBC is owned by Comcast, which spends tens of millions on campaign donations to Republicans and corporate Democrats, as well as lobbying in favor of policies like Trump’s tax cuts, weakening antitrust enforcement, and killing net neutrality.
Now MSNBC is showing that it will say and do anything to stop Bernie Sanders—even if it means helping reelect Donald Trump.
It’s not just MSNBC though. In fact, 90% of the news media is owned by five corporations, and they’ll do everything in their power to keep themselves and their corporate allies in power in Washington. D.C.
But Common Dreams reports the news for the 99% and our voice is needed now more than ever. Will you donate to help meet our Winter Fundraising Campaign goal and support our ongoing coverage of the 2020 election?
