YEP. Roll Call: Is Bernie Sanders Getting A Free Pass?
Bernie Sanders’ supporters argue that his campaign isn’t being taken seriously.
He’s been “marginalized” by the mainstream media, wrote Robert Reich, former secretary of labor for President Bill Clinton and an ardent Sanders supporter, in Salon on Thursday. Others in Sanders’s corner demonstrated on Monday outside CNN in Los Angeles, claiming the network is flat out ignoring their man.
Still others would argue that it’s not about the tone or volume of coverage, but that the Vermont senator simply hasn’t gotten the kind of bark-scraping scrutiny from the press that others seeking the White House have endured.
Democrats for Hillary Clinton, for instance, see a persistent double-standard on the part of the media regarding her rival for the party’s nomination.
Well, they cover for Hillary plenty, too, but in a different way.
