Sanders worries of ‘political gossip’ dominating campaign coverage
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said on Sunday that the media is doing pretty well covering his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination against frontrunner Hillary Clinton, but hes worried about political gossip taking over as the campaign moves on.
We have gotten more serious discussion on our issues than I might have thought about, Sanders said on CNNs Reliable Sources.
But this is what I worry about: In terms of campaign coverage, there is more coverage about the political gossip of a campaign, about raising money, about polling, about somebody saying something dumb, or if some kid who works for a campaign sends out something stupid on Facebook, we can expect that to be a major story.
Sanders announced his presidential campaign in April. He said Sunday that he would put pressure on Clinton on issues like trade and Wall Street regulations, but that taking cheap shots at people, I dont think thats what politics should be about.
