Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumBernie is completely absent from Huffpro's front page. Four pro-Hillary articles!
For a minute I thought I had wandered into a parallel universe! I rarely go to the HP site because it is usually wall-to-wall Bernie propaganda. When Hillary won NYS they didn't even post a photo of her.
Today everything is different. Tons of anti-Trump and several Hillary articles that were normal and one by a Bernie Follower throwing his support to Hillary!
It's looking like even the most Bernie pandering "press" have given up on Bernie and the Bros.

(3,517 posts)I listen to two talk radio shows everyday, Stephanie Miller and Norm Goldman. Normally they talk about the primary. Yesterday however, Stephanie cut a guy off that wanted to talk about BS's chances of winning. She basically just told him nope, it's over and she moved on to the next caller. Norm also had a caller that wanted to talk about it but Norm said, "Nope, let's not talk about that. It's over." and hung up on him. Both hosts are starting to go after "Little Lying Trump" instead.

I especially don't understand the BS people who keep attacking her, but say they'll vote for her if it's Clinton vs. Trump. It is Clinton vs. Trump! The Bernie option is gone. Why is that so hard to get?? When you attack her, all you're doing is stumping for Trump. I DON'T GET IT! It makes me feel crazy when I think about it too much.

Salon needs the clicks, I guess.

(25,517 posts)A little over a year ago, he "endorsed" Rand Paul. He's a libertarian masquerading as a liberal for attention.

(3,284 posts)I wish Salon would stop publishing him. How does he have any cred left?
TwilightZone
(25,517 posts)For now, anyway. I'm hoping that they regain some perspective once the nomination is official and tone down the nuttiness. Not holding my breath, though.

(3,284 posts)In general, Salon writers would definitely not welcome a Trump presidency, right? And I'm assuming they can do math (i.e. Hillary's the presumptive nominee already), right? Why, then, are they doing everything to ensure that Trump becomes president??
It honestly blows my mind.

(25,517 posts)I think it's similar to what's going on here. Deep down, they know that the primary is pretty much over and they're desperate for something, anything - up to and including openly wishing for the indictment of a long-term, influential Democrat - to give them hope that Sanders can still win.
It's not logical but fanaticism is rarely logical. Clinton, to anyone with any rational sense of perspective, is light-years better than Trump.
From Salon's perspective, it's about little more than page hits. They allow the delusional, over-the-top attacks on Hillary because those threads attract tons of comments, and comments = revenue. I really do think it's that simple, though it's also kind of depressing.
sarae
(3,284 posts)it is depressing. I'm so tired of Hillary Derangement Syndrome. I look forward to a day when spreading Clinton rumors doesn't equal more $$ and page hits (or at least a day when it's not this bad). I can't wait until the election is over.

(25,517 posts)I about had a heart attack the first time I read the current Patrick Smith. It took me a little while to figure out that Patrick Smith, the pilot, hadn't banged his head on the cockpit door and become a blithering idiot.

(9,494 posts)The comment sections are still bubbling over with Bernie Bros screeching their Hillary Hate. The good news is they aren't using their usual Horrible photos of Hillary to illustrate the articles.
