But, it IS big news to the media.

(3,554 posts)The group represents some 700,000 workers nationally, making it by far the largest union to back Sanders yet. CWAs endorsement, which will be announced at a press conference at 11:00 a.m. Thursday at the unions headquarters in Washington, comes as Sanders has lost out on a string of major union endorsements to Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, whose campaign now claims the support of unions representing 12 million workers.

(45,251 posts)Bernie also put this on blast via emailing his millions of supporters, who happened to be part of MSNBC's target audience. (For now, at least, Democrats are MSNBC's target audience.) There have been other stories about how media has been covering Bernie either poorly or not at all. However, the Tyndall Report put it numbers that cannot be denied. 20 seconds by one network for Bernie's primary run is unintentional? Come on now!
I posted elsewhere that Joe Scarborough's crew announced that story the other day and said Sanders really should be getting more coverage, based on his poll numbers. Of course, there are so many other reasons he should have been getting more coverage all along, but I'll take what I can get.

(1,268 posts)Because yes, they cannot ignore Bernie forever. There has to be a point where he will get good coverage. Its a matter of when.
