like they might slam bernie piecemeal for his policies and call him a communist but a headline along the lines of "bernie's secret stalinist cabal and their nazi policies" would come from a real bottom of the barrel outlet instead of a major newspaper

bernie is a socialist which is basically a communist that has also splintered from the "national socialist" party.

It's strange, because of all the wrongness that is President Goodbrains, his constant antipathy to the mainstream press is reasonable, even if it is for completely the wrong reasons. As the press is pretty much in the hands of those with property and money, they will always rally in the defense of those things, well before truth.

the press he hates is because they sometimes criticize him and don't give him a sloppy bj 24/7. he loves murdoch media.

maybe bernie's getting a bit of a pass because he isn't the democrat nominee yet, and therefore isn't in an actual position of power? or maybe the media know that bernie will never be a threat like corbyn :tinfoil:

Rumours about a new Blackadder series have been around for years and without exception they all sound terrible, from the biblical epic that would inevitably be a worse Life of Brian to Blackadder as manager of a '60s band that was almost the Beatles, which sounds like it would have maybe half an episode of material at best.

Also Upstart Crow (David Mitchell is Blackadder as Shakespeare) was crap

I did only watch the first few episodes so if it improves dramatically at some point I wouldn't know (and things can, the first series of Blackadder was rough as hell). But I wasn't a fan of what I saw :shrug:
