(53,764 posts)11. Hmmm? Sanders went on Faux Noise and his numbers have cratered.
Or maybe it's Biden? For whatever reason, it doesn't seem to have helped Sanders.
Getting one hour of programming versus the weeks and months FOX uses Dem appearances for advertising and 24/7 anti-Dem programming and fundraising, IMO it's hardly worth it.

No one is desperate when the campaign isn't even out of its infancy stage yet.
