I'm saying they don't think he can win. They just want to bloody Hillary a little for the GE. They don't actually want to go toe to toe with Sanders, because his hands aren't tied behind his back on matters of government and big money collusion like Hillary's are(I'm making believe that she has any interest in addressing these issues anyway), and at the end of the day the powers that be are okay with a Hillary Presidency, and they're the ones that sign the checks for the media personalities and producers.

Rest assured, when it comes down to it the media will eventually be in Trump takedown mode. They would barely have an option even if they wanted him to win because his foibles are too documented and too frequent for them to keep covered up, which would make them look like obvious shills. W was easier. His handlers just did their best to keep him from talking off script about policy, and the media never took the GOP to task for it.

If somebody else were running, then yes, 2/3's of the media would be in full Hillary take-down mode, and MSNBC and the other DNC outlets would be in full GOP candidate take-down mode, and at the end of the day, the top .01 percent would have big fat grins on their faces no matter who wins, because the house always does.
