Wasn't the blackout about getting no coverage?

BS got coverage today.

maybe it's his message that is not rising his poll numbers?

Maybe voters like other candidates' messages better?

Wonder if that ever dawned on his jill stein voting staff?

Sen. Bernie Sanders changes how Medicare-for-all plan treats union contracts in face of opposition by organized labor

A Sanders aide — who spoke on the condition of anonymity to explain the change — said the provision “does not open a door for private insurance,” which the senator argues would have an extremely limited role under his plan, covering procedures such as plastic surgery. Instead, said the aide, the provision is meant to guarantee that any money companies save on health-care costs under Medicare-for-all would be reinvested in workers through increased wages, paid leave or other benefits.

Come on WaPo.. make sure you give other candidates equal time!

But Sanders’s remedy for what ails the media — uncritical, stenographic coverage of his agenda — betrays a misunderstanding of the role of a free press. And his dismissal of legitimate journalism not to his liking as “political gossip” bears a troubling resemblance to what another politician refers to as “fake news.”

They're very worried about how much support she's been taking from them.
