Corporate Media returns to attacking Bernie supporters

It's 2016 all over again.

Bernie supporters are angry because they think Liz lied about Bernie. Instead of reporting this as impressive display of trust, we get this.

The hashtags trended after Warren said in a statement and, later, on Tuesday night’s debate stage, that Sanders once told her that a woman couldn’t win the presidency. Sanders denied having made the comment, and his supporters used the hashtags to attack Warren as a liar, a motif that has come up repeatedly as the two candidates compete over their progressive bona fides. Both senators have passionate supporters, but Sanders’ fans have developed a reputation for trafficking in particularly aggressive online vitriol.

To back up this claim the article links to this - written by swamp creature and paid political hack David Brock.

That isn't the only example.
Politico goes directly back to the Bernie Bros meme.

It’s that energy for Sanders that has put him in the lead, or within striking distance, in the first three early-voting states where organization and motivation are musts. Yet it’s also put him at risk in the run-up to the Feb. 3 caucuses in Iowa, where 57 percent of the electorate was female in 2016. The passion of some online Sanders’ backers — widely referred to as the Bernie Bros — have revived bad memories from 2016, when the campaign felt the need to have their supporters stop savaging Clinton staffers and female reporters, columnists and bloggers with misogynistic attacks.

To back up this claim, it linked to this article.

Yes, millions of voters are the problem. Now that's a winning message straight out of the DNC. And who is Evan McMorris-Santoro?
He wrote these headlines as well.

Yeah David it was Bernie's supporters who started the attacks on Warren's. Liz attacked Bernie's reputation and when given the chance to dial it down she added fuel to the fire.

Look at her mouth and chin. She tightened her lips and thrust her chin out and clenched her hands while Bernie is offering his.

I'm seeing lots of blue checks asking for unity and people telling them that they tried that last time and it does no good so stuff it. Neera of course is saying what happens to believing women? This didn't fly either. People are saying that Warren is cheapening the me too movement and dissing women who have been sexually assaulted.

@MrWebster
when a talented artist and seeming progressive gets showered with tons of money - he sells his soul.

Then again he never really was what he what we thought (the 2006 WH Correspondents Dinner appearance nonwithstanding), which I didn't want to believe.

Forevermore I will be at the ready to post this article to disabuse anyone who still might think any of these late-night comics are our allies. They're not. They're Neoliberal phonies who don't have a shred of the Truth-To-Power telling that Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, Richard Pryor or Bill Hicks had. At least we have Lee Camp and Jimmy Dore.

The Joke's On You

Stewart and Colbert, in particular, have assumed the role of secular saints whose nightly shtick restores sanity to a world gone mad.

But their sanctification is not evidence of a world gone mad so much as an audience gone to lard morally, ignorant of the comic impulse’s more radical virtues. Over the past decade, political humor has proliferated not as a daring form of social commentary, but a reliable profit source. Our high-tech jesters serve as smirking adjuncts to the dysfunctional institutions of modern media and politics, from which all their routines derive. Their net effect is almost entirely therapeutic: they congratulate viewers for their fine habits of thought and feeling while remaining careful never to question the corrupt precepts of the status quo too vigorously.

Our lazy embrace of Stewart and Colbert is a testament to our own impoverished comic standards. We have come to accept coy mockery as genuine subversion and snarky mimesis as originality. It would be more accurate to describe our golden age of political comedy as the peak output of a lucrative corporate plantation whose chief export is a cheap and powerful opiate for progressive angst and rage.

snip...

Back in October of 2004, Stewart made a now-famous appearance on the CNN debate show Crossfire, hosted by the liberal pundit Paul Begala and his conservative counterpart Tucker Carlson. Stewart framed his visit as an act of honor. He had been mocking the contrived combat of Crossfire on his program and wanted to face his targets. The segment quickly devolved into a lecture. “Stop, stop, stop, stop hurting America,” he told Carlson. “See, the thing is, we need your help. Right now, you’re helping the politicians and the corporations. And we’re left out there to mow our lawns.” The exchange went viral. Stewart was hailed as a hero: here, at last, was a man brave enough to condemn the tyranny of a middling cable shoutfest.

But who, exactly, did Stewart mean by “we”? He’s not just some poor schnook who works the assembly line at a factory then goes home to mow his lawn. He’s a media celebrity who works for Viacom, one of the largest entertainment corporations in the world. Stewart can score easy points by playing the humble populist. But he’s as comfortable on the corporate plantation as any of the buffoons he delights in humiliating.

The queasy irony here is that Stewart and Colbert are parasites of the dysfunction they mock. Without blowhards such as Carlson and shameless politicians, Stewart would be out of a job that pays him a reported $14 million per annum. Without the bigoted bluster of Bill O’Reilly and Rush Limbaugh, The Colbert Report would not exist. They aren’t just invested in the status quo, but dependent on it.

Consider, in this context, Stewart’s coverage of the Occupy Wall Street movement. His initial segment highlighted the hypocrisy of those who portrayed the protestors in Zuccotti Park as lawless and menacing while praising Tea Party rallies as quintessentially patriotic. But Stewart was careful to include a caveat: “I mean, look, if this thing turns into throwing trash cans into Starbucks windows, nobody’s gonna be down with that,” he said, alluding to vandalism by activists during a 1999 World Trade Organization summit. Stewart then leaned toward the camera and said, in his best guilty-liberal stage whisper, “We all love Starbucks.” The audience laughed approvingly. Protests for economic justice are worthy of our praise, just so long as they don’t take aim at our luxuries. The show later sent two correspondents down to Zuccotti Park. One highlighted the various “weirdos” on display. The other played up the alleged class divisions within those occupying the park. Both segments trivialized the movement by playing to right-wing stereotypes of protestors as self-indulgent neo-hippies.

Stewart sees himself as a common-sense critic, above the vulgar fray of partisan politics. But in unguarded moments—comparing Steve Jobs to Thomas Edison, say, or crowing over the assassination of Osama bin Laden—he betrays an allegiance to good old American militarism and the free market. In his first show after the attacks of September 11, he delivered a soliloquy that channeled the histrionic patriotism of the moment. “The view from my apartment was the World Trade Center,” he said shakily, “and now it’s gone, and they attacked it. This symbol of American ingenuity, and strength, and labor, and imagination, and commerce, and it is gone. But you know what the view is now? The Statue of Liberty. The view from the South of Manhattan is now the Statue of Liberty. You can’t beat that.”

It does not take a particularly supple intellect to discern the subtext here. The twin towers may have symbolized “ingenuity” and “imagination” to Americans such as Stewart and his brother, Larry, the chief operating officer of the New York Stock Exchange’s parent company. But to most people in the world, the WTC embodied the global reach of U.S.-backed corporate cartels. It’s not the sort of monument that would showcase a pledge to shelter the world’s “huddled masses.” In fact, it’s pretty much the opposite of that. To imply a kinship between the towers and the Statue of Liberty—our nation’s most potent symbol of immigrant striving—is to promote a reality crafted by Fox News CEO Roger Ailes. Stewart added this disclaimer: “Tonight’s show is not obviously a regular show. We looked through the vault and we found some clips that we thought might make you smile, which is really what’s necessary, I think, uh, right about now.”

You got that? In times of national crisis, the proper role of the comedian is not to challenge the prevailing jingoistic hysteria, but to induce smiles.

Read the whole thing. It's an all-time great piece, from a writer named Steve Almond.

I was there. German TV covered it. Colbert and Stewart were hugely silly phony comedy distractors. I was quite miffed, because I had to hold the microphone all the time for our producers. In any case, it was more or less a rally to keep up insanity and to continue to make you somehow laugh without fearing anything. It was despite their efforts a bit boring and way too long. I also remember this being the anti-rally to contrast Glenn Becks rally to restore honor with Sarah Palin. I don't comment on that one, other than that Glenn Beck's wife, according to the Wikipedia page for the rally, requested that her husband wore a bullet proof vest. So it was a bullet proof success of a rally. There you go.

and their press conference afterwards:

@Mark from Queens I would watch clips now and then as I don't have cabled TV anymore. Stewarts first clip about the WI teacher's strike was absolute right wing reatcionary. He showed a puggy woman I gues a teacher hitting either bongo drum or a tamborine. And then visual shifts to a very dapper Gov. Walker being calm, rational, and collected. Holy shit this asshole was going to take the side of the right wing reacationary gov. of WI.

But he rather strangely became pro-union afterward. I suspect either his ex-teacher mother ripped him a new one or major producer who knew better asked if Stewart really was going to take Walker's side over the teacher unions.

And then his attacks on Assanage....

just look at all the books he has written since 2002 and before. His wiki page is also a good reminder of what he is and is not.

Changing sides

The Nation has described Brock as a "conservative journalistic assassin turned progressive empire-builder"[7] while National Review has called him a "right-wing assassin turned left-wing assassin"[23] and Politico has profiled him as a "former right-wing journalist-turned-pro-Clinton crusader".[6]

In July 1997, Esquire magazine published a confessional piece by Brock entitled "Confessions of a Right-Wing Hit Man" in which he recanted much of what he said in his two best-known American Spectator articles and criticized his own reporting methods.[24][25] Discouraged at the reaction his Hillary Clinton biography received, he said, "I ... want out. David Brock the Road Warrior of the Right is dead." Four months later, The American Spectator declined to renew his employment contract, under which he was being paid over $300,000 per year.

Writing again for Esquire in April 1998, Brock apologized to Clinton for his muckraking journalism about Troopergate.[4][26][27]

In 2001, Brock accused one of his former sources, Terry Wooten, of leaking FBI files for use in his book about Anita Hill. Brock defended his betrayal of a confidential source by saying, "I've concluded that what I was involved in wasn't journalism, it was a political operation, and I was part of it.... So I don't think the normal rules of journalism would apply to what I was doing".[28]

Right, those rules don't apply to Mr. David Brock and his political operations stink to heaven.

@The Voice In the Wilderness and Bernie doesn't. It occurs to me that I can't think of an actual lie Bernie Sanders has ever been caught in. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Warren can be found on top of a pile of lies upon lies upon deceit upon lies. Some examples:

1. Her alleged Cherokee heritage and alleged family history (parents' marriage, parents' occupation, trotting out Republican brothers).
2. Her representation of Dow Chemical in connection to the lawsuits against the company yet bizarrely alleging she was working for the victims.
3. Her massive flip-flops on issues like M4A.
4. Her much-ballyhooed progressiveness while voting to Dim Trump's military cash bonanza.

These are just what I immediately thought of while rage-drinking a cup of tea in my pajamas.

@MinuteMan I disagree. Mathematics is counting. My husband Eric says Logic is a form of math. Well he's a mathematician, but to me logic as I know it works on a human reasoning level.

logic (ˈlɒdʒɪk)
3. the system and principles of reasoning used in a specific field of study
4. a particular method of argument or reasoning
5. force or effectiveness in argument or dispute
6. reasoned thought or argument, as distinguished from irrationality
7. the relationship and interdependence of a series of events, facts, etc

Or.... logic noun [U] (REASONABLE THINKING)
a particular way of thinking, esp. one that is reasonable and based on good judgment:

Binary is a whole other kettle of fish. Especially if your dealing with politics. There is nothing binary or logical about politics. It's down and dirty and so corrupt and off point it makes my head spin.

@shaharazade

but some things in human experience are.

In this case, I don't know if it's binary or not. What I do know is that Warren's story is completely implausible. The timing alone is enough to cause suspicion. As the Twitter gent above said, "I only just now remembered this. Oy vey!"

Imagine you're Warren. Bernie said the Awful Sexist Words a year ago, and for a year you and your campaign have been making nice with him, nary a hint of bigotry or anger because of bigotry on either side. According to your own story, you've been making nice with your opponent for a year after he told you women couldn't be President.

That sounds like what a conservative, anti-feminist woman would do.

Yet two and half weeks out from Iowa, the Awful Sexist Words overwhelmed you and caused such pain that you had to inform the world of your opponent's Awful Sexism.

It's not that you were sinking in the polls and he was rising, and you needed a way to drag him down. Certainly not. It's not that your real job, all along, has not been to win the Presidency but has been to destroy Bernie Sanders in the eyes of the public, thus destroying his movement, and your bullshit ain't working. Of course not. You just wanted to inform voters so they wouldn't vote for another bigot.

Thank you, Elizabeth. Sincerely.

@The Voice In the Wilderness I can think of several alternatives leading to one of them being incorrect without resorting to lying:

1. Warren misunderstood Sanders; for example, he said you can't win in 2020 and she mentally generalized it.

2. Bernie said something to that effect but wasn't really intending to (e.g., he was making a hypothetical, doing "some people say", etc.)

3. One or both of them isn't remembering things accurately.

Basically, we'll never know the real truth and can only guess at it. And if that's the only difference driving a choice between the two of them then they would be pretty interchangeable.

that campaigns are not always directed entirely from within.

Some of those moves look like classic Lee Atwater/Karl Rove moves (also popular with the CIA, NSA, etc.)

Others of those moves look like someone desperately trying to recover from the fallout of previous Atwater/Rove moves.

Saying Bernie called her a liar is the lovely synthesis of these two things. She's trying to recover from the fallout of previous Atwater/Rove moves by doing the most classic Atwater/Rove move, known by insiders as I Know You Are But What Am I

Bernie Sanders supporters weren't just voting without their preferred candidate on the ballot. Sanders and really all voters were robbed by an organized gang of corrupt and criminal conspirators with lead singing by Omnishambles Clinton. That she fucking tanked so badly that she lost to sentient jerky is all on her and her equally useless sycophants; Sanders sweated spinal fluid campaigning for that malignant asswipe and he went to bat for progressives with input on the Dem platform.

that she stole from Bernie. First it was MFA and then it was his student loan forgiveness. MFA became MF some and only after 3 years of her administration. I've seen people calculate the amount of debt forgiveness that they would receive under her plan and it still left them with high debt.

Next she started bitching about Trump's military aggression against Iran, but she not only voted for the military budget she voted for sanctions on Iran. But what really ticked me off was her saying that Assange had to face the music for telling on our war crimes.
