One of the funniest falsehoods being presented. The media has carried Sanders. He is nothing without them.

Sanders is sounding just like Trump and it has some going nuts trying to do backflips to support him.

His going full Trump is directly linked to his floundering campaign hilighted by Holly Otter.

She gets the stalled part right but as one of the many Sanders surrogates in the media she gets the rest absolutely wrong.

Amazing how many "journalists" are pushing Sanders from the inside. He has people on the inside making excuses for him left and right and still can't get any traction.
