The Sanders camp is trying hard to make an national issue of this--of course the media helps them. They just look foolish--while Hillary calmly says we can work this out.

Sanders Turns the Heat Up on Clinton in 2:16
NEW YORK Hillary Clinton's campaign said Saturday that rival Bernie Sanders has rejected three proposed debate dates ahead of the New York primary on April 19 marking the latest dustup in an increasingly heated fight for the Democratic nomination.
But Clinton said in an interview that will air Sunday on NBC's "Meet The Press" that "I'm confident we will" have a debate.
"Our campaigns are trying to reach an agreement about that. We've offered dates and we've done it over the last several weeks, so we've been trying to figure out when we could do this. But there's a lot to talk about," Clinton told moderator Chuck Todd. "I'm confident that there will be," she said in the interview.
Clinton's campaign said in a statement Saturday that it offered April 4 as the first potential date, but the Sanders team wanted instead to schedule the debate after the Wisconsin primary on April 5. Clinton officials then suggested April 14 and April 15 as possibilities and are hopeful Sanders will come to accept one of these dates.
"The Sanders campaign needs to stop with the games," Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon wrote. "The Sanders campaign needs to stop using the New York primary as a playground for political games and negative attacks against Hillary Clinton. The voters of New York deserve better." ...................

I'm feeling the same thing I felt back in 2012 when everyone was piling on President Obama, and he was getting the least favorable coverage while Rick Perry had received the most favorable, according to a 2012 Pew Research study that you can read here: http://www.journalism.org/2011/10/17/cr/
