Even Politico is THIS out of touch?! UPDATED w/ link
Wow - funniest crap I've read this season.
Here's the title:
.
Bernie Loses His Halo
Even progressives are criticizing him now after he’s shown a harder edge
Is the left turning on its darling, Bernie Sanders? On Friday, Netroots titan Markos Moulitsas, namesake of the liberal Daily Kos, dropped a rhetorical bomb on the Bern, blaming the candidate for doing too little to denounce death threats received by the Nevada Democratic Party after Sanders’ state convention delegates complained they had received unfair treatment. “The problem isn't Bernie Sanders' supporters,” Moulitsas wrote. “It's Bernie Sanders himself … [He] refuses to forcefully and unambiguously reject that violence, instead rationalizing and explaining it away with a mix of grievances and outright conspiracy theory.”
Actually, Sanders hasn’t lost much support among his most avid supporters—who do not include Moulitsas, a sometime critic. What we are seeing, however, is that it’s no longer taboo in liberal circles to attack Sanders as he drags out the nomination process at a time when many are itching to turn their fire on Donald Trump. And if his reputation in the party is being damaged outside his base, that will make it harder for him to extract concessions from Clinton regarding the platform and party nomination rules at the convention.
I'm thinking others are thinking all publicity is good publicity.
Well, that and 'sometime,' my ass.
If Politico ever catches wind of the poo-flinging they missed in February, their cheeks will be burning in shame.
UPDATE:
If you're still heading over to TOP, this diary responding to Kos' recent missive on how much Bernie is a loser is worth both reading and supporting: Correcting Kos-Sanders Didn't Lose Fair and Square

Where the fuck have they been?
God - this is fucking hilarious.
Democrats, we tried to warn you. How is that guilt and shame working out?

because a corporate media source has acknowledged it.
Talk about being out of the loop. I guess a fortnight late is a decent turnaround time for corporate propaganda.

Politico is part of the problem....as you know!
they all support each other. Check out this one from The Hill!
"Clinton allies blame Bernie for bad polls"
If she didn't have to renege on her agreement to debate in California she'd be seen as trustworthy! That's it.
Funny...
I don't remember that happening to Obama in 2008...

So much for their much-ballyhooed claim that...
...Hillary Clinton is Battle Tested...
I want my two dollars!
She IS battle tested.
She lost the battle.
Cenk has a really good rant about the coverage relating to
$hillary's poll numbers:
Two parties, both neoliberal and neoconservative:
One person willing and able to stand up for mainstream Democratic (and democratic) values: Bernie Sanders.
Various outlets like Politico and the site run my Markos Mousebreath and seem to be working overtime to please the Big Money that controls political discourse, and suppresses democracy, in this country.
I'll add my editorial comment: Unless democracy extends to the workplace, you don't have democracy. And, unless equal rights for all under law exists, all you have is privilege-extended which can be withdrawn at any time.

Wow! That one's rich!
Sounds like someone has been spending their time at a Pennsylvania Ave. watering hole. Come to think of it..That would explain a lot about Politco reporting.

But...but...it's Politico, they're just
Beltway hacks!
Oh, wait...
She's a shitty candidate, period.
But somehow that is Bernie's fault!!
Any stained glass afficionados? Please check out my website: www.masterpieceglass.net
Everything is Bernie's fault.
Even climate change.
He really is a rotter.
Gëzuar!!
from a reasonably stable genius.
Eggzactly. If she were a good candidate, every criticism would
be taken as an opportunity to explain the goodness of her policy positions. Truth and falsehood would fight and truth would win. The only reason fighting Bern does not help in her fight with Trump is she's too busy making up smears instead of talking policy. Which Bern would love!!
But of course we all know she has no decent policy positions. And thus she'll talk about anything else. Which doesn't help her with Trump because she's going to have to find something else about him to attack.

is a gussied-up Drudge. When it debuted, the site's founders, they were on Drudge's then-radio show, 24/7. Drudge boosted the place, with manifold links, throughout its first years. It's garbage. No more worthy than other Drudge favorites, like the New York Post, Alex Jones, or RT.
Drudge is more consistent

The "titan" just does what he's told to do.
Hey MIKE. I dare you to put in tomorrow's BNR. lol
Orwell was an optimist
'liberal Daily Kos,' ?
In a pigs eye. they have always been establishment Democratic even during the Bushie regime. They never have been liberal in fact they ran off, banned and generally harassed, and insulted anyone who is liberal or doesn't have a fearful washed brain.
They may bill themselves as progressives but all that does is make me think 'progressive' in the current usage is another term for avoiding the dirty L word.
Pretty bad when Politico and HuffPo have more information on the real state of the union then dkos which is nothing but wall to wall anti-democratic Democrat's and ex Republicans who are clueless and actually hate liberals.
Just more
B.S. to try and discredit Bernie and his supporters, they are still afraid of the movement.When they stop mentioning Bernie then its time to worry.
Why, oh why ...
can't they "turn their fire on Donald Trump" at the same time as the primary winds down? Is Clinton unable to multitask? Shouldn't a presidential contender be able to handle more than one thing at a time?
Not to hear MSNBC tell it
Tweety and his guests last night were bemoaning what a hard and unfair slog it is for Hillary that she has to fight on two fronts and how this may well cost her the general election.

OMG really?
Gotta laugh in a semi snickered way. Clueless should not be funny but hey, ha. They know not what the joke is. Maybe the mirror has lost its sense of humor?
Humor is needed for life.
Because much is laughable, at some level. When humor is unrecognizable, the system is dead.
Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.
news flash to Politico
the DK Ides of March declaration?!! DK, MM and fellow people denigrating Sanders are not liberal, they're moderate centrists and exactly where the Democratic party stands today.
