This was the striking aspect of a new MRC report, which analyzed coverage of the 2016 primaries and found something that liberals agree with. "Frontrunner Hillary Clinton has garnered 80 percent of the Democratic airtime since January 1," wrote the MRC's Rich Noyes on Tuesday. "Her closest announced rival, the socialist Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, has received just six percent of the airtime, or about 24 minutes vs. 337 minutes for Clinton." The majority of Clinton stories, 54 percent, focused on scandals, while "just 57 seconds of Biden’s coverage — less than two percent — has focused on controversies from his past."

2. The press is doing what they are very well paid to do

Republican is the first choice, centrist Democrat second and person the barricades against a left populist.

3. And they call Sen. Sanders a Socialist while explaining how bad the coverage is...

Classic!
