In more ways than one!

And this is the press corps that knows him best...

Bernie isn't

The guy is a late night comedian's DREAM....

If Sanders did stuff like this, he'd get news coverage, too.

Not all coverage is "good" coverage, though, is it? I'm kind of stunned that people can't see the difference. This is amusing, short-term, but long term it resonates poorly.

That's a half hour of selected stuff each night, going for impact and drama--not "Bernie Sanders gave the same stump speech in a different town" type coverage.

He's plainly not counting up all his Talking Head show guest spots, e.g. Face The Nation, Meet the Press, CNN and MSNBC appearances. If he included those, he'd be close to the head of the pack.

Sanders is pretty big news and world draw great ratings. But the people who own the media are .1%ers who don't want any part of a Sanders presidency. As for the Vermont npr, Bernie's now running a national campaign, so of course he doesn't have as much time as when his sole job is to serve Vermont.

And if he doesn't talk to the press, they won't talk to him--or cover him. It's how it works.

I hardly think "Clinton emails" and "Trump says he'll bomb the shit out of them" are "good" coverage. I think he's playing a card, here, and the locals have called him out on it.

then he would get more coverage.

The truth is, he's not and he won't.

You should read/watch/listen to something besides right wing sites/stations. It's called manufacturing consent. Since republicans receive upwards of 85% of the coverage, does that mean Dems don't garner ratings? Sanders opinions on nearly all issues are with the majority of Americans. Instead the "news" gives all of the air time to extremists and DINOs.

Seriously, are you now going to tell us there is a liberal bias to the media?

Lately I have seen a few Hillary backers with the Third Way banner running around complaining about Sanders desiring excessive taxes and what not. They may as well go all the way with it.

MSNBC primetime, the morning shows, and left-wing radio. A person would have to be not paying enough attention to miss him.

Thankfully I don't see him.. no tv.

Hell, they usually have ONE big news story that actually happened today; then maybe two or three "lesser" stories that we talked about here three days previously, and then some heartwarming story that is either about a cute sick kid, a cute sick puppy, a brave young woman (usually white, often blonde, always cute), or some cute old people who have either been abused, or have overcome hardships of some sort. Every now and again the little heartwarmer will be about a "Support the Troops" situation--cute, brave young family dealing with a severely disabled veteran, or a cute homeless veteran (with or without a prosthetic limb) who has overcome adversity thanks to the Kindness of Strangers (as opposed to federal law that would provide for him/her in event of disability).

In any event, the common denominator in these AWWW-heartstrings-tugging things is "cute." Oh, and they might give you a little sports and weather. But it's AWFUL--it's not "news." It's a condensation of a little ersatz news. You have to go to the web for news these days. Hell, I "watch" the news only because I know that Wheel and Jeopardy are coming on right after it! LOL! I have never learned anything "new" on the news--it's always something I've seen earlier on the net.

was about the right wing witch hunt against her--NOT about her "campaign."


This was a disingenuous strategy on the part of Sanders, and if he keeps repeating it, it will serve him ill. He'll come off like a crybaby. A "yuuuuge" crybaby.

People aren't stupid, either. Every time I turn my damn television on Sundays--and other days, too, There's Bernie! He's on MTP, FTN, CNN, MSNBC, you name it. But he's not counting that stuff--he's counting "The Nightly News" which hasn't been covering Clinton's campaign at all, just the right wing hatchet attacks on her.

Guess what I'm watching right now? A clip from that "Killer Mike" interview on MSNBC....

But nooooo....Sanders gets no coverage. Feh and Meh.

three stations in the US doesn't actually count as exposure IMO

tank for Bernie.

So?

moment.
They will be back to normal after the primary.

to cite just one example, one of the Washington post reporters covering Hillary literally called her a bitch and was fired for doing so.

about the debates, too. There was a story posted here that he previously snubbed an opponent for debates in Vermont when it didnt serve his purposes. But now nationally he sets himself up as the victim of the DNC by accusing DWS of trying to exclude him. So he clearly is self-serving and is just trying to make himself the martyr to fit his limited, superficial campaign narrative about evil such and such and so forth.

Now he's pulling this stunt about the press. So phony.

Thanks for posting this. Great local story.

and particularly Trump.

and talked about by many in the know, I listen to them on the radio and I trust the people who tell me so

2. Bernie is running a natl campaign and wont have the same amount of time for his local reporters that he had when he wasnt running


Criticizing Bernie for this is insincere, lets not play you know who's game.

This card has been played before.

I think it's interesting to know how a candidate deals with the media. Remember how much shade HRC got when she didn't want to be accosted by reporters drooling right wing email/Benghazi memes, while she was MARCHING in a PARADE, and had her staff keep 'em back with a rope line?

If we're going to examine how candidates deal with the media, what's good for the goose is certainly good for the gander--unless we're going to discount those reporters from VT, who have far more insight than any of us, individually, do?

What about the Hillary freeze-out of the media?

It reflects the perspective of reporters who have covered Sanders, some for decades.

You don't have to like it but it is what it is.

populist briny broth with a side order of neocon-diments.

IOW this is just another Hillvolution.

Forget about it just like many of her supporters have.

has endorsed him.
