Halperin: Bernie Gets Bum Rap as MSM Buys Into Hillary 'Faux Outrage'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 03/08/2016 3:43:33 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Mark Halperin has ripped the MSM for its "outrageous" treatment of Bernie Sanders. Calling the media "lemmings," Halperin, seconded by John Heilemann, said on today's With All Due Respect, that the Hillary campaign has ginned up "faux outrage" over a number of Sanders' statements, and that the media has been "following it around," treating minor matters like "major contretemps."

Halperin also had a warning for Republicans: 'just wait until a general election if Hillary Clinton is the nominee at how much faux outrage her campaign shows over whoever the Republicans nominate." That comes as no surprise, but still refreshing to hear Halperin say it.

Sanders says something innocuous, Hillary camp spins faux outrage, MSM dutifully reports as big deal. Mark Halperin rips MSM for doing so!

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Will Donald refer to Hillary’s man hands? Will he call her a pussy? When she is dripping sweat like Marco will he refer to hot flashes? When the enemy is a protected class, it changes the ballgame.

Bernie is getting treated badly. You would almost think he was a conservative.

Remember in the only election Hillary ever won, the Faux Outrage Hillary’s camp generated when Rick Lazio got within four feet of Hillary.

Bernie is not very smart. Obumaba and his minions did it for his shade of “blackness”. Roll out the anti-semitic accusation. His underlings and handlers should be beating on this.

“Will Donald refer to Hillary’s man hands? Will he call her a pussy? When she is dripping sweat like Marco will he refer to hot flashes? When the enemy is a protected class, it changes the ballgame.”

Just needs to keep asking her how dangerous was the landing in Bosnia was. “”I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.””

I’m not saying there isn’t a lot of stuff to fling at her, just that it has to be done differently. Men just can’t beat up on little girls.. I know, I know.

[Bernie is not very smart]

He was stupid enough to run interference for Hillary’s email.

He’s not too bright, that’s for sure. Bet he still can’t figure out what’s happening.

Did you catch ABC News tonight? David Muir with a still shot that "shows Trump supporters giving him a nazi-style salute".

It is Rick Lazio and 2000 all over again. I hope the Republicans are taking note

Fox news could have a video of Sanders supporters taking a dump on a police car or some of those BLM darlings wearing those cute masks burning down buildings.
