Maybe that's why the Washington Post ran 16 anti-Bernie articles in 16 hours (click here), kind of like Pravda might have.
So from here on in, I will refer to the mainstream American press as "Pravda".
To clarify, I am not being cynical here. Quite the opposite. In order to hold the space of "upwising", to moving forward in awareness, functionality and a world of thrival for all, we must open ourselves to the truth, even the unpleasant parts. I was amazed -- but not surprised -- a few months ago when a well-meaning progressive said to me, "Well, if 911 were an inside job I would have heard about it on NPR."
If we turn our noses up at the "ignoranuses" voting for T-Rump, then surely we should hold ourselves to a higher standard as well -- in recognizing some of the inconvenient truths about the mainstream press. For this self-education, I recommend two sources that both get high "marks" in my book. First, the courageous journalist Mark Crispin Miller (markcrispinmiller.com/) who stood alone in reporting the stolen election in 2004 in his book Fooled Again (click here).
The other Mark is Mark Robinowitz, whose website Peak Choice (www.peakchoice.org/) offers some key new distinctions in how to discern the difference between good information, disinformation, misinformation and missing information. Check out his website, and you'll understand how partial truths are allowed to "hang out there" while the deepest truths are hidden.
Again, this not about cynicism. It's about awakening!
And finally, how DID "Pravda" spin Bernie's victory in Michigan?
Here is the New York Times lead line after announcing Sanders' victory: "Mr. Sanders's upset in Michigan threatened to prolong the Democratic campaign."
