    I havent seen this on the MSM since it happened. Bernie was on CNN, and called them fake news. Then some how they "lost" connection with where Bernie was talking from. Imagine that!!!!!!!! :)

    Maybe the Commie News Network will get the idea they are a joke when even a person like Bernie knows they broadcast fake news.

    I saw the clip. Bernie was actually speaking ironically. But that is a dangerous thing to do among totalitarians.

    I'm just waiting for that moment when a guest calls Fox News out for being in the tank for Trump (its painfully obvious they are), and Fox News pulls the plug on that guest.. I'm sure people will be coming to Fox's aid for a guest speaking the truth.

    Cool, you've reached a new low - your "fake news story" is ... Fake News. Too bad there are no Oscars for most fakey news story, you would surely be nominated.
    Congratulations.

    Cnn's motto has always been it's not fake news if enough people believe it.

    Not fake at all. Find the clip. When he said CNN had fake news, they pulled the plug on him.

    You had better pack a lunch. I suspect you will be waiting for a very long time.

    Yeah, I don't think their producers are ready to bring anyone on who will actually challenge them for once.

    I know I bet Ted Turner is spinning in his grave about now.

    I think Ted Turner is still alive if I'm not mistaken...

    And I was talking about Fox News producers not being up to bringing any guest on that would challenge their networks beliefs.

    CNN certainly doesn't. They were not expecting to be blind sided by Bernie Sanders, of all people. Of course, he was speaking ironically, but liberals are pretty thin skinned as I am sure you've noticed.

    The Oscars have already been politicized. So have the Grammy's.

    The whole idea of fake news is laughable, just like lies labeled by Trump World as alternative facts. Bernie Sanders seems to be the momentum being the next reinvention of the Democratic Party.

    If Ted Turner's still alive you can bet they have a small mirror and a defibulator nearby. And at least FoxNews didn't conspire with the Clinton campaign against Bernie what's so bad about FoxNews?

    Roger Ailes advised the Trump campaign during the debates......

    Fox News led to the rise of Trump's political presence (bringing Trump on their morning Fox and Friends segment for a half hour every Monday morning for four years, up prior to the 2016 election season). If you ever check the talking points of O'Reilly, or whoever, its always painting the left in a dystopian light, or we're conspiring on something, so on and so forth. There's no real liberal out of all of Fox's hosts or commentators, Juan Williams isn't a real liberal. I mean, think about it. NBC has a Republican host, Lester Holt, but Fox doesn't have a single liberal host or commentator. Who's being more "Far and Balanced"?

    Yeah, we used to call them rumors.

    I've got to disagree with you about Bernie Sanders being the momentum. He is too white and too male for the Democrats these days. They are going full bore identity politics. Which will drive whites to the GOP which is also going full bore identity politics.

    This is what you get with Democrat immigration and multicultural policies.

    They didn't pull the plug on him; his IFB failed.

    There are tons of instances of them doing that. It's a tactic for CNN and others to control the message, even from people they are asking opinions. Here's just one video...

    How can one make this argument with every other outlet openly against him?

    One of the weirdest things I've ever seen.

    Like pointing out the other guy has a knife while you're wielding a bazooka.

    Yeah, at least half of the American people are laughing at CNN and other mainstream media for their obvious and failed attempts to deceive America. CNN, being caught the most times, is now the biggest laughing stock with others not far behind. LOL

    Then there's the other half of Americans that are still easily deceived.

    So you endorse having ALL the networks be anti Trump and only have them push the Lib POV? You wouldn't care that they weren't being fair and if they lied? I think some Third World banana republic is calling you to go live THERE. WOW!...Bye...
