Related: About this forumHola Amigos! I'm trying to avoid the mainstream media.
I first heard the name Bernie Sanders about a year ago when he held a really in Seattle.
Since then I've done the Google thing, YouTube, watch MSNBC, CNN, FOX, RT on TV, and I like him enough to vote for him.
It is clear that now that BERNIE is a real threat to Hillary in the polls, debates and primaries, the networks don't give him any fair time.
The only network that is saying positive things about BERNIE is RT. Most of the networks don't show Bernie's rallies but they all show Trump's rallies. I understand about the ratings and entertainment part of it but they're all missing the point that Trump spreads hate, violence and division.
For a liberal channel, MSNBC, is disappointing. They're starying to look like CNN "Clinton Nomination Network".
I give somee credit to RT for actually talking about SANDERS, interviewing his supporters and not being dismissive of him.
On YouTube I like The Young Turks because they're fair and pro BERNIE and on youtube been watching his live stream BERNIE rallies.
I've found plenty of BERNIE support groups and pages on Facebook so I've been working that and a little Twitter spreading BERNIE pics, memes and other useful info. Just trying to do my part.
I got both my sisters to register to vote and without me telling them, they're choosing BERNIE SANDERS
Anyways, I'm here at DU because I want none mainstream media news garbage, I need to read more, I can't stand commercials, want to stay up to date on all things this election year and I think I've graduated from mainstream to underground.
Thank you and I hope to learn a few things and contribute good material

(152,070 posts)I think you will learn a lot here and have a good time (I hope!) doing it.
The primary wars going on now can get down and dirty so be careful WHERE you post. There are protected Groups for Bernie and Hillary fans and woe to you if you say anything negative about either of them in those Groups. They will throw you out pronto! Just a word to the wise!
A good place to get the news is Latest Breaking News. Here's a link for them: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1014
Welcome again, and have fun! Once we have a nominee, things will hopefully settle down fast.

I watch DemocracyNow.orgs daily news hour. It's a good place that covers Bernie.
