The ‘Liberal’ Media Narrative on Bernie Sanders

http://www.nationofchange.org/news/2016/05/12/liberal-media-narrative-bernie-sanders/

Can you believe the nerve of that man? Bernie Sanders is “forcing” his rival, Hillary Clinton, “to continue a distracting nominating fight.” I suppose Democrats should just hand the nomination to Hillary, uncontested.

Now that’s true democracy in action.

Without the “superdelegates,” i.e. without the support of the establishment within the Democratic Party, Hillary and Bernie would be running neck-and-neck. You’d think the media would love a close horse race like this. But no: the media is slavering for a Trump versus Hillary race. Bernie is already an afterthought, even as he keeps winning.

Bernie’s victories highlight Hillary’s weaknesses. Progressives don’t trust her. Independents are not impressed. Young people are turned off (her politics as usual is uninspiring, to say the least). Working-class whites find little of appeal in her message and record.

The HRC supporters attacks on Bernie here on DU have been filled with anger that anyone should have the nerve to interrupt the coronation since before the first vote was cast. Remember "don't worry, it'll all be over by Super Tuesday"?
