New York Times executive editor Dean Baquet said he has warned junior staff that the paper will not openly back Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren.

The headline is misleading. It is hearsay and they also mention that its unlikely for Obama to do this as he has said he will support anyone who gains the nomination. This is a clear attempt by the media to derail the bernie nomination.

So of the seven “experts” quoted by Friedman, two are supportive of Sanders’ proposals to fight climate disruption, two are critical and three somewhere in the middle—a weak validation of her sweeping thesis, that “climate scientists and energy economists” as a whole call the Sanders plan “impractical,” “unfeasible” and “possibly ineffective.”

After the 2016 presidential election, in which the press was criticized for disproportionately giving Donald Trump $2 billion of free media, MSNBC may be repeating history. While pundits get paid to have opinions, MSNBC’s seem to dwell in an alternate reality: As momentum mounts for longstanding liberal goals like single-payer health care and bold climate action, MSNBC’s coverage seems devoted, instead, to narrowing the liberal imagination.
