The first sentence includes "Sanders has not dominated the polls..."

Cites a New York Times/CBS News Poll. LOL

The Wall Street Journal

For Bernie Sanders, Party Loyalty Is a Tricky Issue

This article hinges on two un-named "people involved in a discussion." There are too many assumptions from ignorance to mention. Bernie is an Independent, not a Democrat you morons.

Ryan Gosling spreads message from Bernie Sanders

Who is Ryan Gosling? I looked him up on IMDB and discovered that because of my circumstances, my eyes never crossed paths with any of his performances. Not even for one second.

Sarah Palin Explains Why She Gets A Kick Out Of Bernie Sanders

Really? Huffington Post Editors allow a Sarah Palin quote back onto the Internet, because the article was written by the "Deputy Politics Editor." You can't wash out this stain.

Alternet

Watch: Stephen Colbert's Surprisingly Good Bernie Sanders Impression

The news here is that Google allowed Alternet to show up in my Bernie Sanders news alert. Congrats to Alternet for making inroads into Google's corporate media salad.

Is Bernie Sanders Toning It Down On The Stump?

The author was apparently born the day after Bernie Sanders announced his candidacy. Adorable.

CBS News

Who played Bernie Sanders on "SNL"?

This must be in response to the pile of letters that CBS regularly receives from its audience. Now do you get the picture of CBS polling data?

The Week

Bernie Sanders polls best among voters who earn $100,000 or more

Cites an ABC News/Washington Post poll. Since I'm never polled by anyone, I can safely assume that this data source didn't include any of Bernie's millions of donors.

Bernie Sanders 'Rigged Economy' | Campaign 2016

A Campaign advertisement spot for Bernie Sanders, sanwiched between an ad for Chevron and a conservative ad for David Vitter getting Christian redemption. After all, "who hasn't made mistakes?"

The Christian Post

Ben Carson, Bernie Sanders Propose Different Solutions as Campus Activism Explodes

This article seems to suggest that being against racism on campus is being "politically correct," and you'll never guess who is "warning Americans about the dangers of political correctness."

The Main-Stream media continues to insist that Bernie is not the overwhelming favorite among the unwashed masses.

What is interesting about these stories is that both Alternet and Trutdig made it onto the top tier of my Google News alert.

The truly weird article on the list is from the Christian Post, The author not only seems to try and conflate the Million Student March with the University of Missouri anti-racism protests which have nothing to do with each-other, but also injects Ben Carson's warning about political correctness on campus into the article, which seems to suggest that being against racism is being politically correct.

How weird is that?

The sexist smear of Bernie Sanders

Salon

Hillary baits Bernie beautifully: “Shouting,” sexism — and the simple sorry that would make Sanders look less jerky

They tried racism, now they're trying sexism? You can read about all the details in the links.

There comes a point in time where a candidate's message is so simple, so clear and concise, that it becomes the sharpest sword on the field of battle, and can never be dulled by any ambiguity of position,

Bernie Sanders has made up my mind. Unless someone new steps in, or something truly dark from Bernie's past rears its ugly head, there really is no reason for me to follow presidential politics anymore.

The important work lies ahead. As voters we must find a Congress that will work with Bernie.

We must look into our own states and our own congressional districts to find Representatives and Senators who have the courage to endorse Bernie Sanders.

Paul Krugman: Explaining US Inequality Exceptionalism

Robert Reich

How to Shrink Inequality

NJToday.net

Bernie Sanders has spent decades attacking inequality. Now the country is listening.

Princeton Professor Angus Deaton won the Nobel Prize in Economics.

A large portion of Bernie Sanders run for the White House in 2015 has been Economic Inequality. Economists Paul Krugman and Robert Reich have been writing about it for years too.

It looks like there is a growing consensus that income inequality is reaching the same ratio that predated the French Revolution that ended the reign of King Louis XVI, and later the Russian Communist Revolution that ended the reign of Tsar Nicholas II.

What's the difference between then and now? The proliferation of firearms among the American people. What's Bernie's position on guns?

So, which way do you want America to go, left or down in flames?

Clinton's quotes favoring Pacific trade pact she now opposes

The era of politics as a popularity contest is drawing to a close. Before the Internet, candidates had the luxury of compartmentalizing and keeping separate, audiences based on social values. It made campaign speech writing much easier. It also made it easy to keep the people fighting among themselves.

Social values such as abortion, gun control, religion in public schools, political correctness, and so on, are all in the tool chest of political power, designed to keep the public from unifying long enough for the Capitalists to create a fascist plutocracy. President Lyndon Johnson was well aware of this strategy

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice your're picking his pocket. Hell, give him someone to look down on and he'll empty his pockets for you." -- Lyndon Johnson

 Compartmentalization no longer works these days as everyone can see the conflicting messages of old-style politics, partly because of the Internet, and partly because the economic stress of 40 years under the thumb of corporate plutocracy has reached critical mass.

It's a new era of honesty, and Bernie Sanders needs no bag of tricks.
