the case for the Republicans first and they spend the lion's share of airtime on that party.

When panelists start making good points against media malpractice in elevating Trump as Katrina Vanden Heuval did earlier this evening, they're more likely to get cut off or interrupted as Anderson Cooper did without acknowledging her point.

Although one other panelist did, Gloria Borger in this case but then it's almost immediately forgotten and they go back to covering Trump and how the Republican Party hates him because he's "anti-establishment.

The corporate media conglomerates are the gate keepers to the establishment and I have no doubt that a President Trump would never upset the less than 1% status quo domination of the government and in turn the people.

The corporate media conglomerates know this so they play up the "anti-establishment" myth to keep the plebes fooled while ignoring or dismissing the very real and substantive arguments that Bernie makes against the establishment.
