Were they watching the same interview?

Jill Stein was interviewed on MSNBC (aka the ScaryPutin! network).
I personally thought she owned the news anchor. Granted, Stein looked defensive, but then she was in the lion's den.
Then I saw the headlines.

Rawstory: WATCH: Jill Stein comes unglued when asked about her visit to Russia in bonkers MSNBC interview

DailyBanter: Jill Stein's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Interview
The former Green Party candidate and 2016 election spoiler melted down in an MSNBC interview this morning.

Huh?
Anyone who watched that interview would come away with a different impression, so I don't know why both of those articles linked to the video.

Does the Democratic establishment and its news outlets think they can simply redefine reality?

On a related note, I tried to google https://caucus99percent.com/content/gos-not-back
No matter how I made the search in google, it wouldn't come up.
But when I did a duckduckgo search it came up immediately.

@gjohnsit I haven't kept track but it seems like I am getting search results from google I did not ask for. Also, I have noted that any news stories that show up in a google search are all and only mainstream news outlets. And duckduckgo are better results and closer to what I am looking for.

Never mind that the votes she got had no effect in the election whatsoever. And what about that piece of shit Repig Crosscheck garbage that suppressed the vote in many states? Are the Porky Dems against that? Of course they aren't. They suppressed the vote in the primaries.

It's no coincidence that they won't go after Gary Johnson because both factions of the Capitalist Party USA do the bidding of Libertarians anyway.

@The Aspie Corner

Someone made up a graphic showing how many votes Jill got as opposed to Her, and it showed that if those people had voted for Her instead then she would have won the state. Again they act like everyone should have voted only for Her and not Bernie or Trump. Why? Because of emails! I know, that doesn't make sense to me either.

So many people sold out to a Republican just to have an 'electable' candidate. Those who would sell out their values for electability deserve neither and are denied both.

this is scary

The claim that Russian meddling in the election is “an act of war” comparable to these events isn’t brand new. Senators from both parties, such as Republican John McCain and Democrat Jeanne Shaheen, have long described Russian meddling in 2016 as an “act of war.” Hillary Clinton, while promoting her book last October, described Russia’s alleged hacking of the DNC and John Podesta’s email inbox as a “cyber 9/11.” And last February, the always-war-hungry Tom Friedman of the New York Times said on Morning Joe that Russian hacking “was a 9/11 scale event. They attacked the core of our democracy. That was a Pearl Harbor scale event.”

But the last few days have ushered in an explosion of this rhetoric from politicians and journalists alike. On Friday night’s Chris Hayes show on MSNBC, two separate guests – Democratic Congressman Jerry Nadler and long-time Clinton aide Philippe Reines – posited Pearl Harbor as the “equivalent” of Russian meddling, provoking a shocked reaction from Hayes:
...
The Washington Post’s Karen Tumulty, complaining about Trump’s inaction, asked readers to “imagine how history would have judged Franklin D. Roosevelt in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor, if he had taken to the radio airwaves to declare that Tokyo was ‘laughing their asses off.’ Or if George W. Bush had stood in the rubble of the World Trade Center with a bullhorn and launched a name-calling tirade against the Democrats.”

...this is scary...

Especially the slavering over the suffering of the innocent and the deaths of those defending their country from ruthless invaders shown as coming from the Psychopaths That Be, et al. They deliberately target citizens, with everything from famine, isolation from medical supplies and conventional bombs to White Phosphorus, even to, in the past, nukes, something they are damnably eager to do again. And I do mean damnably in both senses.

From your Intercept link:

...Indeed, Obama imposed sanctions on Russia for years, but critics like McCain insisted that it had no hope of changing Putin’s behavior, let alone imposing any real punishment. “The only thing that will dissuade Vladimir Putin from what he is doing is when coffins come back to the families in Russia,” McCain said of Russia’s annexation of Crimea. ...

It's hardly unusual for psychopaths to find it amusing that normal humans are affected by the sufferings of others and can be hurt more deeply by harm to those they care about/are responsible for than even by harm done to themselves, and delight in harming the innocent to try to force others to submit to their predatory will.

Not so usual for entire populations to overall accept this as normal, but once the society has been pathologized, as previously occurred in Nazi Germany, and now America, once that first attempt at corporate/military global conquest failed and industry and government in the US were incrementally taken over by such as the industrialists behind Hitler and the various Nazi's 'rescued' from justice by them after the war and brought to America, we see the effects on the unsuspecting brainwashed...

Edited to add the quote I was referring to.

And this will reflect very poorly against the Dems in the 2018 midterms.

The Dems and the sycophantic MSM absolutely refuse to look at their responsibility for Trump getting elected. If they keep this shiite up they could readily give the Trumpeter a second term. What a bunch of fuckwits.

@CB

you would think that the democrats would pick one of them to run on for the midterms. But what are they going to do instead? The #metoo movement is their first pick and now they are going to try to investigate Trump's treatment of women. Yep. The 19 women who he is accused of assaulting are going to be hauled in front of congress. One comment about this said that it's okay because Bill was impeached for having sexual relations with Lewisinsky. And here I thought that he was impeached for lying to congress, not for having sex. This is how rumors become facts.

For gawd's sake, how could she be aware of ONE AD out of trillions?

They also didn't bother to point out how that woman kept talking over her. Or that people didn't owe Herheinous their votes! Insult indeed. Arrogance indeed!

Of course they showed that photo of Jill and Putin. This makes it clear that she was in bed with Putin. And Jill had no right to talk out against the wars.

Hey news woman, your job is to report the news, not make it up. You are still trying to smear her. And again here's someone saying that it was okay for Hillary to use trolls to interfere with the election. Sheesh!

Great interview, Jill!

Jill should have said:

Are you aware of every single facebook post concerning you?
Do you know where every single one of them comes from?
Can you prove that none of them came from Russia?
And most importantly, do you believe that your fan base was effected by that single ad?

The person interviewing her really tried to make her out as some Putin lackey. After the opening response of how could one aid change the results, the interviewer went down hill try to ask other loaded questions, but Stein would have none of that. Tried that guilt by association crap and that got knocked back.

I am with you. But the witch trial for Stein will continue. Bernie and supporters next.

@MrWebster

His saying that he knows that Russia tried to help him is another blight on him. The facts are that he was cheated out of the nomination and that Russia did nothing for his campaign or Trump's or Herheinous'. I don't understand why he has signed on to it, but it says a lot about him to me.

@snoopydawg
I think that he's been around long enough to understand that the Deep State has 6 ways from Sunday to fuck him around should he become president and not play along. Unlike Obomber, Bernie wasn't willing to lie so he kept his mouth shut. Obomber had absolutely no compunction about making a one eighty after he was sitting in the WH. It was almost as if he had been groomed for the job.

Trump was naive and thought the American President's position, like in a corporation, had actual power. It took a year but they finally got him where they can control him (to a certain extent - they may have to break his thumbs).

On foreign policy. He is on record saying that he didn't have a problem with Obama's use of drones. His vote to give Israel more bombs showed me where he stood regarding the loss of lives in Gaza. I do wonder if Trump was that naive about who controls our foreign policies.

@MrWebster

Forget? Hell they never acknowledged that the election was stolen from him. We've always had a kangaroo system of government here, it just took us too long to figure that out.

"Jill, why is it that you can't admit to Russian collusion when Everyone knows you did it? Just say it, Jill. Just say you were in the 2016 election to fuck our beloved Hillary. Say it! Say it! Then we can get on with burning your ass to the stake! We'll be right back... "

Well, they share the same goals as the Bush Admin and are all cons, all of the time, with whatever added prefix or none at all... remember when the corporate media was showing, on the internet, video disproving their claims of rioting Bernie-Bros hurling chairs as they watched all pretense of democracy dissolve before their eyes in the Dem nomination (s)elections, claims which were promoted with the videos which they evidently hoped that nobody would actually watch?

Yes, they are, indeed, that deluded and that stupid as to think that the rest of us are that stupid and easily deluded... but you knew that already. This is merely a rhetorical answer.
