Feels like 100x.
Difference is, Trump has hit his ceiling at about 25% of repub voters (not all voters, just repubs). Bernie keeps moving up.

If I had the choice, I'd rather have media silence than massive attacks.

Trump's coverage is understandable. He's outrageous, and so makes for good TV. He was also already a national celebrity (largely due to his Apprentice tv show). Plus he's been consistently leading in republican polls. In that resepct, once Sanders is leading Clinton in a variety of polls week after week, then you can compare.

I support Bernie Sanders, but it's understandable that someone running at #2 for his party's nomination gets less coverage than someone running at #1.

He's the missing teenage blonde for 2016. It provides the traditional MSM with an excuse to not cover Bernie Sanders.

The powers that be know that the Donald is not going to be president. He won't go away because in the pay-to-play political game he can pay his own way; that's within the rules set by the powers that be, and the traditional MSM works for the powers that be.

Bernie is the threat to the powers that be. He's like a crowd funded candidate and he wants it that way. He gets his message out through the New MSM on the Net. The powers' that be worst nightmare is the people electing a candidate who slipped through their control of the political power structure and owes them nothing.

And nothing is what good the powers that be are to the People.

And certainly one that disgusts me; but turns on a lot of ignorance and simple minds in this nation of morons.
