Corporate Media Ignore Economic Justice in the 2016 Election
If you feel like you haven't seen much (or any) news about Bernie Sanders and the Democratic primary race, it's not just in your head. Over the weekend, the Tyndall Report revealed that mainstream nightly news shows, through the entirety of this year of 2015, have spent only 10 minutes of total coverage on Bernie Sanders, as opposed to 234 minutes of total coverage of Donald Trump.
The weird thing is, that polls show Bernie Sanders easily beats every Republican candidate in a general election, and by more than Hillary Clinton would. But the media refuse to cover Sen. Sanders, and even Hillary Clinton has largely dropped out of the headlines since the Benghazi emails were put to rest.
