Interesting discussion covering media generally and the primaries. Finally some admission of problems with the coverage and sort of satisfying to finally hear it in media: Kathleen Jamison Hall claiming the low coverage of Bernie created a self-fulfilling prophecy and that the coverage of Bernie isn't issues but always delegate math. If you listen, the Bernie part starts at 17.37 in.

One of the guests gave himself a compliment saying he thought print media was still doing their job pretty well. I emailed the question why the NY Times needed to revise their article on Bernie if they were doing so well. No response. https://web.archive.org/web/20160314164825/http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/15/us/politics/bernie-sanders-amendments.html?partner=rss&emc=rss

I like Rehm but she's absent a lot and her guest hosts are always beltway media people who don't do a very good job. Rehm asks good questions.
