2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThom Hartmann: Mainstream Media Undermines Sanders
Progressive radio host Thom Hartmann, who has had Bernie on his show every Friday to take questions from listeners for years on end now weighs in on a recent article from AlterNet on the media's treatment of Sen. Sanders since he threw his hat into the ring for 2016.
When analyzing the quantity and content of the vast majority of what is said and written about Sanders, his campaign platform, and appearances, one finds a running theme across the so-called liberal media. The New York Times has been called out by more than one analyst, myself included, for its complete lack of serious coverage of Bernie Sanders.

But if he keeps rising in the polls, they wont be able to for much longer.

But also criticize him heavily. Of course Hillary supporters would love you to believe that the media has been more biased against Hillary than any other person in world history.
