Related: About this forumBorowitz: Media Unimpressed as Sanders Barely Gets Seventy Percent of Vote
http://readersupportednews.org/opinion2/277-75/36014-media-unimpressed-as-sanders-barely-gets-seventy-percent-of-voteBernie Sanders failed to impress major media outlets over the weekend as he barely managed to win seventy per cent of the vote in three western primaries.
The major cable networks briefly mentioned Sanderss vote tallies in Washington, Alaska, and Hawaii but noted that he ran out of steam well shy of eighty per cent.
Theres no point in sugarcoating it, one analyst put it. Rough night for Sanders.
According to one cable executive, Sanders needs to put up some big numbers fast if he expects the networks to continue giving his campaign airtime.
Its going to be harder and harder to justify covering him while hes stuck down in the seventy-per-cent range, the executive said.

Outrageous, off the wall, no holds barred, LUNATIC comedy to express the mind-boggling dimensions of the bias--and not just bias, but black-holing--of the Bernie Sanders campaign by the Corrupt Media.
It blows my mind daily, hourly!
Did you see this amazing thing on MSNBC? Well, let BigBearJohn describe it:
Okay, hell *IS* freezing over

You won't believe it. I figure their ratings are in the toilet.
