In what has to be some kind of record, the Washington Post ran 16 negative stories on Bernie Sanders in 16 hours, between roughly 10:20 PM EST Sunday, March 6, to 3:54 PM EST Monday, March 7—a window that includes the crucial Democratic debate in Flint, Michigan, and the next morning’s spin:

Bernie Sanders won the Michigan Primary on Tuesday night by beating his only rival Hillary Clinton in what the established media calls a shocking victory and the pollsters call the result of the century- one that did not tally with their outrageously wild predictions. Whichever way you want to look at it or ignore it, the fact is that Bernie Sanders is a true anti-establishment warrior and has medals to prove it.

The corporate MSM pundits are ignoring the YUUGE upset yesterday in Michigan. Bernie Sanders pulled off an epic upset and it barely gets a mention by the in-the-bag-for-Clinton corporate media. If you ever needed more proof that polls conducted by these morons are as worthless as an Obama promise, see the polls below regarding Michigan. Clinton can’t beat a died in red socialist when she has more money than the Vatican supporting her.

Accused of “overstepping their mark”, Peers in the House of Lords have reluctantly backed down in their battle with MPs over cuts to disabled people’s benefits. The cuts to benefits for sick and disabled people will now go ahead, after Lords were forced to back down in their opposition to Government plans. The Lords had defeated the government for a second time earlier this month again over the bill which proposed to cut £30 a week from the benefits of ill and disabled people who have been found unfit to work.
