*MSNBC*'s Ari Melber got pushback Tuesday afternoon when he asked a New
Hampshire voter why she decided to support Sen. Bernie Sanders in the 2020
Democratic presidential election primary.

"I want to say, the reason I went for Bernie is *MSNBC*," the woman told
Melber, who was interviewing voters live in Manchester.

"Go on," said Melber.

"I think it is completely cynical to say that he has lost 50% of his vote
from the last time when there were two candidates," the voter replied.
"This time there are multiple, wonderful candidates that would be great
candidates and people that we could unify behind."

"The kind of 'Stop Bernie' cynicism that I heard from a number of people...
It made me angry, so I said, Bernie's got my vote," she added.

"Absolutely love to see it," *District Sentinel Radio* co-host Sam Sacks
tweeted <https://twitter.com/SamSacks/status/1227299244006158336> of the
exchange.

"It truly was a jackhammering for the ages," added
<https://twitter.com/samknightfour/status/1227299803085799424> co-host Sam
Knight.

Despite a reputation as the "liberal" news network, *MSNBC* and *NBC News* have
been harshly critical of Sanders, with hosts and contributors alike
launching attacks on the senator.

On Monday, "Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd referred
<https://www.commondreams.org/news/2020/02/11/indefensible-msnbcs-chuck-todd-under-fire-reciting-quote-comparing-sanders>
to
supporters of Sanders—who lost family in the Holocaust—as a "brownshirt
brigade," a reference to the Nazis. "Hardball" host Chris Matthews was
slammed
<https://www.commondreams.org/news/2020/02/08/chris-matthews-slammed-spreading-misinformation-about-sanders-democratic-socialist>
Friday
for a fantastical rant about a potential Sanders presidency that ended with
Matthews being executed in Central Park.

Contributor Jason Johnson claimed
<https://www.commondreams.org/news/2020/02/03/my-word-stands-sanders-co-chair-nina-turner-offends-msnbc-pundits-calling>
Sanders
and billionaire Mike Bloomberg were both oligarchs trying to purchase
political power, analogizing the small dollar fundraising of the Sanders
run with Bloomberg's self-finded campaign. For reference, Sanders' reported
roughly $2 million in wealth is about .03% of Bloomberg's $61.8 billion
personal fortune.
