Voters Waited for Hours. Here’s Why.

(Thu Mar. 24, 2016 6:00 AM EDT) — Faith Decker, a 19-year-old sophomore at Arizona State University, got off work a little early Tuesday night so she could vote in her first-ever primary. She arrived at a church in southeast Phoenix just before 7 p.m. to find “the line wrapped completely around the corner, 300 to 400 people.” After waiting in that line for more than three hours, she finally reached the check-in desk. She was told that she couldn’t vote—not because the polls had closed three hours before, but because she was registered in a different county.

Brussels Terrorist Attacks Media Coverage Looks Like Naomi Klien’s “Shock Doctrine” in Effect as Corrupt Election Practices Take Place in Arizona

Naomi Klein - The Shock Doctrine  The Rise of Disaster Capitalism Cover.jpg Does anybody notice how the recent terrorists attack in Brussels have stolen all the headlines at the same time the corrupt Arizona primary election scandals took place Tuesday?

Is this mere coincidence or an opportunity by mainstream media to have an excuse not to cover a crucial story about election rigging in Arizona?

This appears to resemble the characteristics describe in Naomi Klein’s “The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism.”

(Mar. 23, 2016 21:00 EST) — CULVER CITY, Calif. — The Young Turks feel the Bern.

For months, the progressive online news program, which has amassed 2.4 million subscribers since it started live streaming on YouTube in 2005, has been trying to get the Democratic presidential candidate to appear on their show.

But it wasn’t until late Tuesday night that the Young Turks found out it was actually happening — thanks to help from a fan petition and a lucky opening in Sanders’ schedule during his Los Angeles visit.

By Kylie Atwood, CBS NEWS

SAN DIEGO (Mar. 23, 2016, 17:36 PM) — Bernie Sanders called it a “disgrace” that some voters had to wait in line for hours to vote in Tuesday’s Arizona primary.

“In the United States of America, democracy is the foundation of our way of people,” Sanders said at a press conference here Wednesday. “People should not have to wait five hours to vote. And what happened yesterday in Arizona is a disgrace. I hope that every state in this country learns from that and learns how to put together a proper election where people can vote in a timely manner and then go back to work.”

Bernie Sanders Appearing on TYTNetworks for a One-on-One Interview Tonight at 6 pm Eastern

(Mar. 23, 2016 12:45 EST) — TYTNetworks said last night during their election coverage that they will have Bernie Sanders on their show for a one-on-one interview tonight at 6 p.m. eastern. This comes after a persistent effort by them to schedule the interview.

Two days ago TYT host Cenk Uygur expressed frustration as to why Sanders had not appeared on his show yet (See YouTube Mar. 21, 2016 video link below). During the broadcast, Uygur analyzed the benefits of appearing on main stream media outlets like CNN, MSNBC and Fox, where the average age of these networks viewers was in the mid to late 60’s. He also discussed the benefits of appearing on his show as well.

Uygur agreed with Sanders’ campaign rational of seeking to appear on the typical main stream media networks because, “They vote more, and they needed to be persuaded away from Hillary Clinton,” Uygur said when referring to the older voters watching CNN, MSNBC and Fox.

20160322_2300 Bernie Sanders on the Young Turks March 23 at 6 pm (TYT).jpg However, Uygur also feels that Sanders should be trying to reach people who are under the age 65.

Sanders has already garnished the support of the younger voter. This has been seen time and time again in the voting demographics thus far in the primary election.

Therefore why should Sanders appear on a show that basically caters to that lower-aged demographic he has already gotten support from? Uygur points out that TYTNetworks, “has a large progressive audience that is under the age 65.”

So appears that TYTNetwork’s persistence has paid off and managed to schedule Sanders for tonight’s one-on-one interview with Uygur.

“If your trying to run a revolutionary campaign that’s against the establishment, then why do you keep going and begging the establishment for favors,” Uygur said.

“Why don’t you come to the media that is actually revolutionary.”

Tic Tock: It’s time for Elizabeth Warren to take a stand

(Mar. 23, 2016) — What Arthur Balfour once said of a young Winston Churchill is also true of Senator Elizabeth Warren.

“The right honorable gentleman’s artillery is very powerful but not very mobile,” Balfour said, taunting the eloquent speechifier about his inability to think on his feet.

We’ve seen the same from Warren recently. First, the power: Our senior senator delivered a blistering takedown of GOP front-runner Donald Trump earlier this week, blowing holes in his supposed business acumen, calling him out for his “petty bullying, attacks on women, cheap racism, and flagrant narcissism,” and his “embarrassing insecurities.”

Bernie Sanders made a dissenting speech in Salt Lake City, where he spoke up for suffering Palestinians. It received little broadcast media attention.

As Sanders trails Clinton in delegate count, his campaign has effectively been discounted by major media.
