So to take it back to the issue, everything is 'biased' in the view of someone.
The FACT is that when Hillary was under fire by AAs all over the internet, Bernie Sanders defended her to media talking heads. Following his lead, I did not link to the attacks on Hillary from AAs, I saw no point in USING this most important issue for political purposes.
Social Media is where millions of people go to discuss issues, and yes, this event is being attributed to Hillary's campaign, right or wrong. That is a fact, whether anyone likes it or not. I think that is happening because of how SOME of her supporters JUMPED on the last such event and wrongfully joined in what looked like a mob screaming 'racist' at a Senator who for his entire life fought for the rights of those who were not getting much help anywhere else.
I have no concerns about Bernie's image whatsoever, he is constantly gaining new supporters and drawing larger and larger crowds, he is now within 4 points of Hillary in NH. He is receiving donations from hundreds of thousands of Americans enabling him to run what is a very good campaign. That's not bad for someone who was virtually unknown just two and a half months ago.
I suppose I could make an attempt to read YOUR mind, but that would be a personal attack having nothing to do with anything of importance.
