Yeah, I'm definitely sure Jeff Bezo's outlet is doing fair and accurate reporting too.
I wasn't a rabid Bernie supporter, but honestly when contrasted with you it might seem it. I'm only interested in the truth and it rarely can be found in mainstream media, especially in regards to subjects like these. Your "sources" are opinion pieces.
From your "source":
It's naive to assume that the emails revealed the whole story. The resignations of top DNC officials surrounding the primary shows the guilt - and it wasn't just the DNC meddling. As evidenced by the DNC memo that was leaked, they definitely strong-armed the media to take Trump seriously; I wouldn't be surprised if the smears and constant negative coverage of Bernie also came from them (if only in some part) with their bias towards Hillary on their sleeve.
I'm disengaging here - you are free to disagree with my perspective, just as I am going to disagree with your opinion pieces. I highly doubt I could convince somebody who takes liberal media as gospel.
My suggestion for you: think for yourself and consider all perspectives before forming beliefs.
Must be hard having no evidence for your claims. Keep living in fantasy land.
What's your evidence? Liberal media telling you what to believe with weak, one-sided arguments and some cherry-picked facts sprinkled in to twist the narrative?
There very likely would be concrete evidence if Bernie contested the primaries, but he didn't. He endorsed the winners and went the extra mile for them. There were essentially no investigations. The DNC argued in court that they don't have an obligation to follow their rules and the court found that they were unfair to voters, which is a gross understatement.
Whatever, have a good one. This is my last response. Call it cope, but I'm not crying over Bernie's loss. My general point was that progressives have popular policies before they get ratfucked from all sides, are smeared, are said to be unelectable, and receive waves of negative (if not hostile) coverage to shape opinion - if they receive coverage at all. Again, you are free to disagree and believe that partisan media bubbles are reflective of reality.
