Showing Original Post only (View all)Michael Moore Gives MSNBC's Centrist Hosts a MUCH Needed Reality Check [View all]
I didn't put it into the primaries forum, because its not about a specific candidate. Moore is addressing the MSM and talking in general, about how the center in American politics has moved, and how the press, even MSNBC, still lives in a world where they ignore the polls showing the majority of Americans are for more gun control, universal healthcare etc, and instead pretend those opinions only apply to some insignificant fringe left.
Okay, the host of the YouTube channel is an unabashed Bernie supporter, as is Michael Moore. So if that fact is too much to handle for some, just skip the hosts preface and go directly to the clip of Moore talking to these regular hosts. From :50 > 3:38. They simply cannot interrupt no matter how much they want to, because there is nothing they can argue with.
I love the capture he uses as the video screen. Those helpless expressions are priceless.
The MSM including MSNBC are so terrified of honestly representing the majority view of Americans as being the moderate one.
I'm not saying MSNBC does not do some great work. I don't know where we'd be without Maddow. But, especially when these Highly-paid commentators and politicians, get on these back-patting panels. they suffer from a lack of understanding, or refusal to understand, that the country actually wants what the more progressive candidates want too. That that is the new "moderate".
I predict another Moore invitational banishment.

OP
MSNBC works to help the Democratic Party, Michael Moore works to damage it

If by "Democratic Party" you mean politicians who are funded by corporations

I (in US) make right around average, and I don't 'take home' as high a % as represented there

Must be nice being 'neutral' and thus having almost zero military as I assume the Swiss do not ...

The biggest hurdle is education on convincing Americans that health care would be cheaper

I fully agree with that, but it's the convincing and then implementing part
Lock him up.

He's so right on. I'm so glad he's out there doing and saying to the public what I too believe.

There is a lot of Moore-bashing here. Is it because he warned us that Assface would win?
