The Political-Media Empire has lost all control over the news and they are striking back to regain the control over the process that they have lost in the first couple of months of the political cycle.
I mean Jeb has a ga-zillion bucks in his PACs waiting for the best time to strike……and then there is Bernie whose average donation is $31.00……
No modern candidate can run a legit campaign without help from a super PAC with deep pockets, yes? The New York Times reports that Bernie Sanders is providing a real test of that accepted wisdom. He’s managed to build a “formidable” sum of $15.2 million while eschewing super PACs, with the average donation to his campaign at $31.30. The vast majority of that total comes from small donations routed through the ActBlue website, which handles donations for Democrats. Sanders knows he will still be widely outspent, but thinks he’ll have plenty of money to run a smart, frugal, and “winning” campaign.
The MSM cannot stand the fact that Bernie is doing so well without the use of Super PACs….and then there is Trump who is using his own cash and does not bow to a Super PAC…….it is as if these candidates do not need the MSM…..and that cannot be tolerated.
The popularity of Sanders and Trump has the media scratching their heads…..they pushed Jeb and Hillary for over a year and yet the people do not seem to be interested in their choices given by the media….
The MSM has got to take back the control over the process…..
It’s about time the media became as confused as they usually make us!!
Good one….and I agree….
If memory serves me correctly the Super PACs unlimited funding couldn’t stop Obama from winning twice either could they? I believe he ran an Internet campaign getting small individual donations for his campaign if I remember right. I love it when the power mad filthy richers waste millions but then again their wells never seem to run dry either, do they?
His first campaign was small scale but not the second…..and yet Americans follow the richest of the rich as candidates…..yea well informed.
Americans are always looking for the candidate who will deliver their piece of the pie, aren’t they? (The ones that can read beyond the Third Grade level, that is.) (The one’s whose family trees actually have branches.) (The ones whose wives are better looking than their hunting hounds.)
So true….the problem as I see it….they like being lied to…..why else would they continue to follow these liars? Plus few seem to want to know the information that leads to accurate voting…..if you know the traditional form of conservatism then these guys today are the RINOs….
