9. The media ABSOLUTELY supports Hillary over Bernie.

This is a relative scenario, and relatively Hillary would be MUCH, MUCH, MUCH better for the status quo (including the corrupt media consolidation that has taken place) than Bernie. The media punditry response to the debates was entirely predictable from the outset. They are never going to prop up Bernie against Hillary. They'll diminish, criticize, and marginalize him whenever possible.

Bernie is the one that is a threat to the status quo. Bernie flat-out called the corporate media corrupt last night.

Of course, I do believe the corporate media will strongly favor the Republican candidate over Hillary (or Bernie) should she (he) be the nominee.
