Corporate Media Ignores
A video created by independent producer Matt Orfalea in support of Sen. Bernie Sanders went viral Friday as progressives praised the five-minute ad for offering a powerful counter to the corporate media's consistently negative portrayal of Sanders and his 2020 presidential campaign.
"Legit gave me goosebumps," wrote one Twitter user, a sentiment that was echoed across social media in response to the video.
The video juxtaposes the media caricature of Sanders as an unsmiling, loud, and angry curmudgeon with clips showing the friendly and compassionate senator many supporters experience in person at rallies and town halls across the country.
"No candidate has endured more unfounded hateful attacks than Bernie Sanders. But he fights on!" tweeted Orfalea, who posted the video to YouTube Thursday.

Every cut disproves every negative claim about Bernie. This is a great tribute. Thank you.

The guy who put together that video said it. I guess he slept through the GE campaign in 2016.

I watched this this morning. The media bias has never been so obvious as in this video.

Oh good god! GMAFB! All these claims of how "Bernie is the victim" are so laughable.

I certainly feel that Bernie has been mistreated by the Media as well as here at DU.
