Dec 2019

Various media outlets have raised concerns that the mainstream media in the United States have made a concerted effort to downplay, underreport, or ignore the popularity of Bernie Sanders

Those media outlets are Rising with the Hill's Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti (by The Hill), Jacobin, Vox, Common Dreams, Medium, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting.

Fair and balanced outlets.

What they see as an alleged media bias against Bernie Sanders.

It is called vetting the candidate and their qualifications to become President.

The campaign runs its own media platforms such as the online newsletter Bern Notice, the Hear the Bern podcast, a channel on Twitch, as well as Twitter and Facebook—many of which discuss media bias and what they call the Bernie Blackout.

What other candidate has done this? Rail against the media and then purchases their very own media outlets?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
