Corporate Media's best kept secret.

I find it amusing that the CCM (Corporate Controlled Media) are so afraid of Bernie. On both election night speeches (Iowa and NH), Bernie has made a point of declaring the CCM antipathy for him. What is even funnier, in NH not only did he lambast the CCM, but then used them as a conduit to do a fundraiser yielding about $7M in 24 hours.

They keep pretending he didn't say those unflattering things about them because his favorability ratings are so much higher than theirs and so they don't want to draw attention to a media attack from the left-very embarrassing and not good for business.

I think Trump just hijacked a lot of the coverage. Even Clinton didn't get anywhere near as much coverage in 2015 as a result. The media is obsessed with Trump because he brings in strong ratings.
