While the media could ignore Denver

they could not do so with Madison. So now they
will not only report on his campaign, but they will
take him on.
I think that from now on we can count on a very
distorting and ugly battle from their side. The
PTB prefer Hillary and will try to reduce Bernie's
influence in every way possible.

So it is up to us to spread the positive news.

I will put my Bernie sign into the front yard today.

There is an audience that chases negative views and an audience that goes for positive views. Depending on where the producers make their play media can go either way.

At this point for Sanders all coverage has benefits because all coverage means exposure for a relatively unknown personality.
