Study: Hillary Clinton, not Donald Trump, gets the most negative media coverage
Quote:
The biggest news outlets have published more negative stories about Hillary Clinton than any other presidential candidate — including Donald Trump — since January 2015, according to a new analysis of hundreds of thousands of online stories published since last year.
Clinton has not only been hammered by the most negative coverage but the media also wrote the smallest proportion of positive stories about her, reports Crimson Hexagon, a social media software analytics company based out of Boston.

Which is pretty much what everyone says about them, no? That, despite their loudness and arrogance, they are largely ignorant about politics?

I have to agree  Some Bernie supporters are so biased for him that they don't see that some of the stuff they say is complete nonsense  Same goes for Clinton supports as well btw

I'm going to make some calls this weekend! I've been slacking this election. I used to make calls every day in 2008.

I'm very curious on how to do this calling thing. Is there something you have to sign up for, or get a new number, or what? Do you just open up the phone book and start dialing? Any info would be much appreciated

The fact he was lowkey FIGHTING with Cenk that Trump was better than Hillary 
The mentality from the Liberal-Bernie fanboys side is going to ruin the party. They really reached a peak of blind fundamentalism and fanaticism.

NEW CONNECTICUT POLL:
Hillary - 51%
Bernie - 42%
Quote:
|
A 66 – 25 percent lead among black likely Democratic primary voters and a wide margin among women Democrats propel former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to a 51 – 42 percent lead over Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, the independent Quinnipiac University Poll finds. Another 6 percent remain undecided and 18 percent of those who name a candidate say they might change their mind.
|
Quote:
There are wide gender and racial gaps among likely Democratic primary voters as women back Clinton 55 – 38 percent while men are divided, with 50 percent for Sanders and 45 percent for Clinton. White voters are divided with 49 percent for Clinton and 47 percent for Sanders, while black voters back Clinton 66 – 25 percent.
Sanders leads 54 – 43 percent among very liberal Democrats. Somewhat liberal Democrats go 51 percent for Clinton and 45 percent for Sanders. Moderate/conservative Democrats back Clinton 56 – 36 percent. Sanders leads 73 – 26 percent among voters 18 – 34 years old, while Clinton leads among older Democrats.
A total of 67 percent of Democratic voters have a strongly or somewhat favorable
opinion of Clinton, with 27 percent somewhat or strongly unfavorable. Sanders gets a 66 – 18 percent favorability rating.

I remember, back in high school, when I would watch The Young Turks every day because I thought they were such a good source of information and were level-head, honest individuals. I remember absolutely hating Cenk, but loving everything about Ana, though... Then this election happened and I realized that Cenk is the only sane one. He's entirely open about how he believes Bernie is the better candidate, which is fine, but he's at least mature enough to realize that voting Third Party is essentially voting for Trump and isn't productive. The whole notion of "Trump would bring about revolution through chaos makes it worth it" is such a pathetically idiotic notion that I'm appalled that Ana would even low-key agree with it.
Also, the entire talk Ana had about how Hillary Clinton supporters are stupid and how she can't respect them just pissed me off. I've grown to really dislike her. You could like Ted Cruz (my least favorite candidate on either side) for all I care, but when you act like your political opinion is the definitive right, correct way to think, that's when you cross a line for me. And she, and the rest of TYT aside from Cenk, did that last night and it was pathetic.

I still wanna say those kind of Bernie supporters are a minority. Unfortunately for them they are also very vocal so they are sort of, in a way, speaking for all and that's not good
Any ways that man from Secular Talk totally didn't even talk about NY. Instead he decided to blast Hillary for "pandering" with the hour sauce question. The thing is though, if he actually did his damn research he would've known she carried hot sauce with her since the 90s. It takes 5 seconds on Google. I hate people who try to distort facts. If you're pro Bernie then fine but being anti Hillary is bad

Gravis is absolute GARBAGE. Case in point, they predicted a 6 point win for Clinton in NY. They even got around a half dozen states wrong this cycle. I don't trust any of their mess

Who's that new guy? He's always providing excellent contrarian analysis so the show isn't one big echo chamber. He's still a Bernie supporter but i like him because he's even more unbiased than Cenk
@pixel
Trump/Kasich/Cruz: 60.5 - 25.1 - 14.5
Clinton/Sanders: 57.9 - 42.1

He's pretty good for TYT. He's the quieter of the bunch, so I forget he was even there most of the time.

Well there are about 319 million Americans but 23.3% are under 18 so they can't choose a president even if they wanted to. So at MOST 245 million Americans can choose the presidency
But because of certain laws millions of Americans aren't even registered. Only 146 million or so are registered to even vote. But only 29% of eligible Americans even participate in primaries, so that's close to 42 million. And obviously we have state laws that sometimes doesn't even allow people to participate in certain states (such as closed primaries).
42 million participated in our primaries, 87% less than what you claimed

I seriously hope the US health care system gets fixed soon.
I'm currently sitting right now for a doctor's appointment and I can't believe how lucky I am to be here in Canada.
I feel like almost everyday I have a checkup, that doctors are getting annoyed by me coming every single day.

What on earth, watching a The Young Turks video from last night and they're saying because they report politics for a living they know better than anyone else.  Different views just aren't a thing to these people. Supposedly anyone who supports Hillary is just completely uneducated about politics and doesn't understand that Bernie's policies are clearly superior. As if there is only one correct way to go about solving the problems people are facing.
