[See NewsBusters for more.] Despite the resignation of DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, MSNBC journalists touted the Democratic convention as “fun” and “exciting.” Host Rachel Maddow basically told Sanders supporters to stop whining. But first, Brian Williams insisted, “This won't be [like the Republican convention in] Cleveland, but it won't be boring.” Maddow used euphemisms to spin the chaos: “This might be way more fun and way more exciting to cover than Cleveland.” Later, she noted progressive convention speakers, as well as a far-left platform document. So, despite the leaked e-mails showing the DNC was plotting against Sanders, Maddow wondered, “It is hard to explain what the grievance is, especially after you have Debbie Wasserman Schultz's head on a platter to start your convention.”
