Sam Seder: Is The Media Giving Bernie Sanders a Fair Shake. Please post examples on Facebook
Hey Everybody,
Bernie Sanders formally jumped into the 2016 Democratic Primary this week. Bernie is running a serious campaign based on solving the biggest problems America faces: the erosion of our democracy, massive inequality and the climate crisis. His solutions from progressive taxation to expanding Social Security are seriously popular with real voters. Yet, the mainstream media keeps trying to frame Sanders, his positions and his supporters as "fringe". The Politico headline "It's Not Your Everyday Americans At Bernie Sanders Kickoff Rally", is the perfect example of how obnoxious the coverage gets. We are gonna follow this stuff closely and fight the mainstream press when it tries to unde rmine and discredit Bernie and his proposals.
We want to know some of the first examples that you have seen of press coverage of Bernie's campaign. We have opened up a thread on our Facebook page for you to share. Lets track the press and remind everyone that B ernie's views are not only right on the merits, but are in fact, very popular with "everyday Americans".
What are the worst examples you can find of the media not taking Bernie Sanders seriously?
