CNN Interview with Bernie Sanders’ wife after Alexandria shooting takes unexpected turn


AOL has the article CNN Interview with Bernie Sanders’ wife after Alexandria shooting takes unexpected turn.

Wolf Blitzer’s interview with Jane Sanders took an unexpected turn Thursday as the CNN host and the wife of the former presidential candidate sparred over the media’s role in the current national political environment.


Jane Sanders didn’t quite get the right words to explain to Wolf Blitzer what is wrong with his coverage of the “news”. She couldn’t get through to him with an explanation of his focus on personalities and sound bites rather than issues. She mentioned oligarchs, but Wolf never did. How are we ever going to explain to the corporate press that we are onto the game they are playing? They cover the news to get ratings and to promulgate the message and philosophy that their oligarchic bosses want to spread. We want news that will be useful for solving the problems faced by the 99%. We don’t need news that focuses on how to improve the lives of the 1%, and cares not a whit about how it harms the 99%.
