Flav may have had the time, but Terminator X had the wax. They were downhill since he split.
The article below describes some of the background tension between Bernie and MSNBC, including his refusal to be interviewed there for the last 4 years, until an excellent hour long stint with Rachel on Wednesday.

Does a candidate's refusal to be interviewed justify smearing the candidate and his supporters as nazis and brownshirts?
IOW, smearing Bernie and his supporters as nazis and brownshirts cannot be explained away. These smears are textbook cases of manufactured consent. See: https://www.amazon.com/Manufacturing-Consent-Political-Economy-Media/dp/0375714499/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=manufacturing+consent&qid=1583516279&sr=8-1
Quote from squib for "Manufacturing Consent: "[N]ews media . . . in their search for truth and defense of justice, in their actual practice they defend the economic, social, and political agendas of the privileged groups that dominate domestic society, the state, and the global order."
Of course, Bernie's refusal to be interviewed by MSNBC does not justify Matthews' outrageous comments, which first led to his apology, and then to his being forced out.

You failed to address Chuck Todd's brownshirt smear of Bernie. See: https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?fr=mcafee&p=chuck+todd+brownshirt#id=1&vid=e77ccd85785d0e71833ed06349cf4138&action=click

Chuck Todd's brownshirt reference was in the original posting. I am merely asking jasmo to address both the brownshirt reference and nazi reference (nazi reference has already been addressed by jasmo). See quote above.
Why do you (ridski) falsely make it appear that this is a new issue (when it was instead addressed in my original posting)?
Gaslighting anyone?
1a. What constitutes a criminal threat?
1b. The only element that needs to exist is the threat of physical injury.
2. Was CS' speech “directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action (such as a criminal threat) and is likely to incite or produce such action"?
ml1: By only defending 2 rather than defending against the conclusion of 1b, you are accepting implicitly that CS' speech is a threat of physical injury. IOW, in order to deem that "2" has occurred, you need to have "1" occur AND also the additional element of "inciting or producing imminent lawless action."

nope. why do you keep insisting this, when it doesn't even logically follow from what I wrote? Or are you just enjoying writing really turgid prose?

You have your POV. And, I have my POV.
