So much for the media "ignoring" Sanders:

1. It is the similar argument that the right uses when they say the MSM is libural. It flies in the

face of the facts

[Lucky Luciano]

2. Isn't Sunday talk for political junkies?

The question of media bias is in regards to day to day news coverage.

7. Spot on !

[90-percent]

3. Based on the above graph only

There were approximately 244 appearances by Republicans and 69 appearances by Democrats.

78% of the time it was a Republican appearance. 22% of the time it was a Democrat.

So, just what did you expect from our LIBERAL MEDIA?

4. To put that in perspective

Hillary Clinton isn't even included on that graph, yet no one would argue the fact that she receives more media coverage than Bernie. Deceptive graph is deceptive.

[George II]

5. Not deceptive, it says exactly what it represents.

[HerbChestnut]

6. With the implication that...

...Bernie is somehow receiving tons of media coverage, which up to this week has not been true at all.

[Tom Rinaldo]

8. It should be noted that Hillary tends to be unavailable to these shows

She is notoriously cautious about which live interviews she grants and when. If these talk shows didn't book Sanders they would essentially be openly partisan fronts for Republican talking points during the primary season - which they mostly are anyway. They can fairly safely ignore O'Malley (though they shouldn't) because he hasn't gotten much traction, but if they didn't book Bernie, who is willing to be interviewed by them, they couldn't claim to be covering the full race for President.

But when it comes time for talking heads to do what comes naturally to them among themselves, they have always talked about Hillary far more than they do about Bernie, and repeatedly talk about how various Republicans will run against her and rarely mention Bernie in that context

9. FINALLY!! It's a good thing his supporters spoke up!!
