Let's be honest: reality is hard.
It's difficult doing all your own thinking, and being ostracized for it.
It's much easier to just accept the mainstream consensus on DKos, or MSNBC, or Fox News, or Comedy Central, or wherever.
Good news. Bernie is still getting under the skin of the establishment, so he must be doing something right.
How do I know this? Because of headlines like this:
How will Democrats cope if Putin starts playing dirty tricks for Bernie Sanders (again)?
Brazile's bombshell was a dud with the broadcast news.
Probably not. They are the Clintons after all.
Democrats, Russians and the FBI
Did the bureau use disinformation to trigger its Trump probe?

A friend of mine, with a doctorate and very intelligent, was utterly surprised to learn about the DNC fraud lawsuit. She is quite knowledgeable about economics, science and 20th century world history. She also watches the TV news, winnowing her choice of viewing gradually from the usual suspects down to only Fox News. Is she reactionary? No. Is she Republican? Is she pro-Trump? No. Does she like Medusa? No.
OMG. The killer was a Bernie Bro.
Did B ever call for something like this?
Nope.
So the MSM and DNC and the RNC and all those other f'rs Are now blaming the Bern and his millions of supporters for the random act of a nut job?
Too easy. Too stupid.
But yet, this is the world we live in in Murica.
Crap.
Blog author Soapy over at libcom.org has posted this Article today on Her Heinous and Her cheerleading for the bombing of Syria this week. In my humble opinion, the whole article is well worth the read.
Here's a taste:
as big bad Trump is about to burn down their houses. Yes, like the pioneers (read: hostile takeover of native Americans lands) did when attacked by uncivilized yet deadly foes, they circled the wagons to provide mutual protection. Now even Fox Spews is cowering within the enclosure.
Despite all the brouhaha and posturing and self-felatio going on in the political class and the MSM there are no Russians under your bed.
Curious? See Pluto's excellent essay:

Last night I went to a dentist appointment and they had the ubiquitous big flat screen tv which was tuned to CNN. If I had just entered a restaurant I probably would have walked out; if obliged to sit in a waiting room more often than not I ask if anyone is watching it, and either ask to switch it off or to change the channel. There was even a flat screen tv in the patient's room where I had my teeth cleaned.
