In fact, when WAPO reported on the labor dispute in his campaign, he not only lashed out at WAPO for doing their job in reporting on labor rights issues, he lashed out at the union members for exercising their right, protected by the NLRB, to talk to the press, or talking on social media, about labor negotiations, as doing something "improper" and "unacceptable."

"It does bother me that people are going outside of the process and going to the media," he said. "That is really not acceptable. It is really not what labor negotiations are about, and it's improper."

My spouse and I are both union members, so I know whereof I speak.

But I'll bite.

Why do you think that the media would have a 'bias' against Bernie?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
