I just smacked OnPoint via twitter and got a stunningly bad series of responses. They were covering

Candidates for Pres and only mentioned HRC on Dem side. So I tweeted:
@Peacebird9: @OnPointRadio talking pres contenders without mentioning #BernieSanders ... Bias much?

They replied: @OnPointRadio: @Peacebird9 we talked about Senator Sanders last week, when he announced.
And: @OnPointRadio: @Peacebird9 we also spent an entire hour with him last summer, btw.

To which I replied: @Peacebird9: @OnPointRadio last summer @SenSanders was NOT running for President. Plan to mention him calling out Obama this week?

And their 'fantastic' reply was: @OnPointRadio: @Peacebird9 we cover the news of the week that was in this hour, every week. If the Sen. makes news, we'll mention it.

IF? i replied: @Peacebird9: @OnPointRadio his bill introduced to break up the too big to fail banks is not news??? @SenSanders
And: @Peacebird9: @OnPointRadio #Bernie2016 deserves mention every time you talk about the contenders. Otherwise you are biasing news coverage in favor of HRC

Was I too harsh?
