Surprised?

It's the same old Republican logical failure. They repeat the same reasoning despite being proven wrong over and over again. What really blows my mind is that this kind of ridiculous rhetoric works on the uninformed voters who continue to elect these people.

Sanders camp spars with CBS over debate: report

But Sanders’s aide, the report said, still objected, and “he got very hot and there was like a five- or seven-minute back and forth and he just wouldn’t let it go,” the campaign source told Yahoo News.

"sanders aid has a fit"

The search results can tell the rest of the story.

The Paris Attacks started at 9:20 PM Friday according to CNN, which would be 4:20 PM Eastern U.S. time according to CNN. According to Yahoo, the conference call was on Saturday Morning. If the conference call took place in Iowa that would make sense.

I need to get my time zones figured out:

The entire mass media jumped on this bandwagon. What kind of story is this? It seems like a swarm of Piranhas to a single drop of blood that may or may not even exist.

It's obvious how complicit most of the media is against Bernie Sanders, how likely would something like this be a complete fabrication?

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?

Obama’s ‘Sealed’ Records

Here is why the reporters are NOT looking into Obama's sealed records.

Well, this pretty much wraps up Ben Carson. He's resorted to repeating old right-wing false rumors from Barack Obama's campaign days.

He was caught being ambiguous but not untruthful on numerous occasions, which the media exploits by making false inferences, then turning the false inferences into false statements.

I call such activity on the part of the news media "Inference Opportunities." It may be an underhanded gimmick, but it does raise questions about Ben Carson's ability to communicate with other world leaders as President.

He must be unequivocal,

I'm not sure, but the Alternative Media apparently has said all they need to say about the Ohio Governor long ago. This doesn't bode well for keeping voters informed about the candidates, especially those that don't bother to search the Internet.

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.
