(AP) — Bernie Sanders breathed new life into his long-shot White House bid with a crucial win in Michigan’s primary Tuesday night, chipping away at Hillary Clinton’s dominance in the Democratic presidential race. Republican Donald Trump swept to victory in both Michigan and Mississippi, overcoming fierce efforts to blunt his momentum.

Sanders Has A Much More Practical Plan Than Clinton To Raise Taxes On Rich
by Howard Gleckman, CONTRIBUTOR
(MAR. 8, 2016 15:31) — Let’s say you’re a Democrat who wants to raise taxes on rich people. It turns out there are two very different ways to do it: The direct, simple, in-your-face Bernie Sanders version and the indirect, complicated, back-door Hillary Clinton model.
I’m not talking about the magnitude of their respective tax proposals. That’s a whole different story. This is really about the best way to structure tax increases, assuming you want to enact them at all. And by that measure, Sanders has the far better model.
Media Bias Against Bernie Sanders: Ever More Obvious Now than Ever
(Mar. 7, 2016 23:45 EST) We have heard it many times over how the mainstream media such as The New York Times and the Washington Post have demonstrated their biases by not covering Bernie Sanders in an objective way. If you take a look at a screen shot of The New York Times “above-the-fold” front page online, you can see more clearly what is going on. No only will these media outlets exclude key instances of the Bernie Sanders campaign, they will lead their articles with headings that mention the other two candidates such as Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
In addition, the New York Times’ online front page, they have a side-bar section which provides the viewer the option of looking at articles that are allegedly “most viewed” and “recommended for you.” These subsection areas are also articles which are listed with the same degree of bias.
In he “most viewed” list, there would be no mention of Bernie Sanders, and if it has to be primary election related, it will lead with either Trump or Clinton’s name in the headline.
It was only until the “recommended for you” option, did I see an article for Bernie Sanders pop up. But that only indicates how they are cyber-stalking people who visit their website.
The New York Times and the Washington Post both also have subtle ways of excluding Bernie Sanders from the discussion. If an article is given primary consideration on their online front page, the article will be headlined in a way that views a story on Sanders as a “glass half empty” verses a “glass half full.”
These are seasoned, political news journalists, given instructions to use their well trained writing skills to sway their articles about Sanders into a negative and hopeless theme.
For example, if a primary election result was say out of five states Hillary Clinton won three and Sanders won the other two. The headline will read, “Clinton Dominates the Election Results,” and Sanders walks away with a miserable two states and is not looking good.
Then, when statistical numbers can be used, of course, these mainstream media outlets will use those numbers in the same swayed way.
So, if you’ve been following very closely this election cycle, you would have already seen the bias.
Unfortunately, many people don’t have time to see the waves of bias coming from the mainstream media outlets. Many people are just too busy after work to catch up on the hours of time needed to watch Bernie Sanders rallies online, or to use a wide search to evaluate articles of the day.
The mainstream media knows this. So they use this to their advantage by continuing their drip, drip, drip bias slanted articles. And when they have to mention Bernie Sanders, they will be factually correct, however, twist the article theme of one of an ever looming cloud of doom that hangs over the Bernie Sanders campaign.
Well, now that that is out of the way. There are at least two shows which are a must watch, either live, or when they post to their youtube channels.
Thom Hartman’s, The Big Picture, and The Young Turks are professionally broadcasted news shows which are a breath of reality fresh air.

(Mar. 6, 2016 13:00 EST) T i m C a n o v a, in a nutshell, is somebody we need to get behind right away. We can immediately send a donation, or just start providing social media interference against what will most likely be the same game play as Clinton to protect one of their own (Wasserman Schultz) from being eaten alive for the Zika mosquito she is.
We are talking about Florida now, and this is the state that f$#ked shit up in 2000 by 537 votes. Voter suppression at the hand of Katherine Harris, who was the Secretary of State at the time, who hired the private contractor to “purge” the voter registration databases in favor of those who would vote for Bush, and now who is a sitting, yes, currently sitting member of congress (trying to hide in the weeds of other democrats secretly working the game behind the scenes) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katherine_Harris).
Wasserman Schultz really needs to go watch some re-runs of Hogan’s Heroes because she “knows nothing” (this is an homage to one of the characters of the TV Series Hogan’s Heroes if you didn’t know) about how she is going to get through to us now that we are watching her like a hawk on road kill. Especially given her attempts to do what ever it takes to get her candidate of choice – Clinton – into the white house. Maybe some cabinet position in line there Mrs. Schultz?
Talking about a sick sleazy cesspool of politicians lurking around getting paid with our tax money, with full health care benefits.
#TimCanova (https://timcanova.com):
#timcanova has stood up and taken front seat to challenge against Schultz’s primary run which has been unchallenged for six terms.

As a Florida native, I understand, especially growing up in Miami, that corruption exists here and will continue to fester unless a great big light is shined on its festering cockroach party.
Right down to the City of Miami Commissioners, and that is where it begins in those boring little buildings, which have catered to the needs of the likes of Sylvester Stallone through a former commissioner to try to shut off a public street, and, Stallone, who hosted in his mansion a private get together with Bill Clinton during his term as president. The street, once again, was shut down for the Clinton event. This stuff is think and long winded.
So get educated and more importantly, excited about #TimCanova, and do what you can on social media, in real life, or in the form of donations to him directly at http://www.timcanova.com and https://www.facebook.com/TimCanovaForCongress/
