Bernie Sanders gets zero mention in the local media. Trump is covered every day. And Chicago is the third largest city in the country, with numerous newspapers and television outlets.

2x this morning on channel 2. First was a story about him being in Chicago today. I never expected them to even announce that. Right after that they did a story about a site called Nantique.com. They are fundraising for Bernie.

As I'm typing, WGN just announced they are going to have a story about his visit to Chicago today. It's a start.

I was a local reporter. Most of these people live in their communities and care about them. They're not DC or NY or LA denizens who cater to their corporate masters.

P.S. And most of them are paid less than teachers, so they're certainly NOT the 1 percent.

But I can't find any other videos online.

eom

Thanks for sharing, progressoid.

you'll see me. I'm the blurry white guy in the background.

...unless that is a nose ring....

…..wife too.

....it has to mean something. I would assume he's getting intell. of some form or another that keeps him up to date on stuff outside the M$M.

there is a weekly phone bank here in my hood in chi. i expect those numbers are good.

I'm a senior citizen and I support Bernie wholeheartedly!

GO, IOWA....GO, BERNIE!

It was sort of last minute decision. Wasn't sure I would be able to make it. Would have loved to have seen you.

Seats were full. A few dozen people had to stand.

He was introduced by two union members.

Is that one of the most FRINGE looking audiences ever?!?

I have been led to believe there are only about 1000 Bernie supporters in all of Iowa.

One was a 67 year old Veitnam vet.

I think Bernie can win!

... is what you might see mentioned were this GDP... small favors right?

Go Bernie!!!

I wanna see the pics of Hillary's Crowds... They aren't posted by the campaign, they are publicized by the media, they aren't posted by Clinton supporters; and you have to ask yourself why. Oh ya her support is a fiction created by her campaign, PACS, the corporate media, and paid for polls. It doesn't really exist. There is no ground swell of support out there pushing for Clinton to be anything but retired.

for their Iowa rallies in early December.

The one thing that Hillary has going for her is name recognition, and I would have expected that to translate into people turning out to see her in person, despite the massive enthusiasm gap between her and Bernie.

Quote from man from Perry, Iowa.

Bernie's honesty and integrity are very refreshing.

Yes, I'm jealous.

Smaller, more intimate crowds, (like say, a handful of Wall Street Crooks), are the way the game is played these days...
