(42,660 posts)I think it has been since Iowa. The MSM has been doing their best to tamp it down, to minimalize it. They talk all the time about Trump, but very little about Sanders. They are more afraid of a Sanders presidency than a Trump Reich!

(154,021 posts)in a good way. They were pointing out that Sanders is far more electable. Yup. I stopped typing and paid attention.
John King was doing a pretty good job out of it as well. So I think they are going to, in spite of themselves.

(26,507 posts)and MSM wasn't there to cover it from the beginning. They blacked out Bernie. They didn't cover his rally's. They didn't tout the crowds that came to see and hear him. They didn't even make a big deal about how he raised his campaign money. They really didn't pay him any attention until he started to tie and win some states. They now appear to be giving him better coverage - but in terms of the other candidates he is still not getting the proper respect he should be getting from MSM.
I think MSM will really be kicking themselves because they weren't there for the Political Revolution. They disregarded him and thought he was just some fringe candidate. And now we know different. Just think of where Bernie would be if they gave him the proper respect of a Presidential Candidate.
MSM came too late to the party.
