Not without quibbles, but I thought this was basically a good piece on bias against Sanders.

I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

Re: The IMCT Media Criticism Thread
My impressions at the time was that the press coverage—the critical, that is—was coded in a caricature of Millennials as unserious, lazy, and fantasy-driven. Clinton was for adults (Boomers) with long resumés and know-how to apply the same solutions to any given problem. There's almost certainly a lot of my own analytical bias in all that, but the anti-Sanders coverage was generational.eumaas wrote:http://harpers.org/archive/2016/11/swat ... /?single=1

The Podesta stuff is fascinating — it appears that every annoying know-nothing asshole you ever knew is running the DP/country.

Pretty good. Looks like Assange has probably gone nuts. Still, Podesta emails have been revealing. It's interesting to get a glimpse into how the ruling class operates.

That's made me feel a little better. The same institution that banned it from reaching number 1 all those years ago. Now happy to replace the official anthem with the Sex Pistols. At last job done.Inder wrote:
