Really? Really?

I can’t decide if I’m annoyed that Sanders is complaining about unfair coverage of his campaign, or if I’m annoyed that there’s yet another article about Sanders complaining about unfair coverage of his campaign.

I think I’ll return to my favorite ClickHole article comparing nearby roosters to faraway roosters.

“…our successes get minimized.” Says a man who has had few actual accomplishments in his life. Always a sponsor or co-sponsor, never a mover-and-shaker.

And here we have another rehash of last night’s article which just proves the point I made in the comment section on the last one.
Unreal.

“This is not into conspiracy theory,” Sanders said,

“We are taking on corporate America. Large corporations own the media in America, by and large, and I think there is a framework, about how the corporate media focuses on politics. That is my concern. It’s not that Jeff Bezos is on the phone every day; he’s not.”

If it makes you feel any better, consider this: we don’t like him. We can argue endlessly about policy proposals or the minutiae of campaigns, but in the end, it boils down to very human reactions, not logic.

On this point, he and I agree. The rest is just whining.

Rickey Henderson, when at bat, would compliment the home plate umpire, praise his eye, tell him what a great game he was calling. He later set the career record for walks (later broken by Barry Bonds). There’s more than one way to work the refs.

How about a Trump of the center? Would that be OK?
