Rachel Maddow is one of the most well-educated and familiar news media figures in America today. She has been a progressive voice crying in the wilderness for her entire career. Maddow, more than once in her lustrous career, has called out left-leaning media outlets for being Fox News like.
As a fan of her MSNBC ?show for years, one thing you can count on with Maddow is well-researched accurate “tell it like it is” reporting from the Stanford-educated Rhodes Scholar.
There is a fair assumption that corporate-owned mass media have blown Bernie Sanders off as a fluke and have backed former Secretary of State and first lady Hillary Clinton. Maddow pointed this out on her show recently.
?The Beltway media has been thinking of Bernie Sanders as an asterisk in this campaign, right? As kind of the Dennis Kucinich character this year,? Maddow said on her program. ?But he has not been functioning that way at all.? [Huffington Post]
Maddow has a history of scolding media outlets based in our nation’s capitol for rejecting Bernie Sanders as a viable challenger to their preordained choice Hillary Clinton.
?Ever since Bernie Sanders has gotten in, it’s been good news for Bernie Sanders after good news for him after good news for him,? [Rachel Maddow]
Most people who identify with Bernie Sanders simply call him Bernie. After his announcement to run for our nation’s highest office all you heard was “he’s a good man, but he has no chance to win.” The narrative streaming forth from corporate-owned mainstream media was that Hillary Clinton could not be beaten. As a lifelong student of politics, this writer remembers the same proclamations being made back in the?Hillary Clinton 2008 run for president and then along came Barack Obama.
We are already seeing Hillary Clinton running to the left from her 2008 run for office.?Bernie Sanders has expressed the point that he is “in it to win it.”?Since the?announcement that he was running for office, over 100,000 citizens have?signed up to volunteer for his campaign. Since that time,?Sanders has raised more money than every Republican prospect running for office so far?and recent polls show he has more support as well.
Rachel Maddow, as usual, was spot on in her reporting and she is right,
“Hillary Clinton Better Watch Out For Bernie Sanders.”
