It is My belief That Bernie Sanders was Not given the same coverage a Hillary Clinton In the run up to the Democratic Nomination For The USA's Presidential Election this year.
I also think that this was done by the mainstream media because Bernie is about as close you can get to being a socialist and still be in American Politics

Bernie got just as much coverage as Hillary until he lost the primary. After he lost he was like the last guest to leave the party even though it had ended long ago. It's taken a long time for Bernie to figure it out. But finally it looks like he is getting it. He lost.

After reading please explain to me how is Clinton a Marxist? in what way does she espouse the ideals of Marxism?

Shesh!! Hillary Clinton a Marxist

Lots of other graphs and statistical analysis , but this one basically shows internet interest as opposed to media coverage

(June 2015-January 2016)
Candidate Google Searches Mainstream Press Mentions


Clinton 9,235,231 87,737
Sanders 21,536,032 29,525
O’Malley 1,158,270 3,996
Trump 37,046,010 183,903
Cruz 5,373,797 14,465
Rubio 4,428,465 26,463
Carson 8,728,769 33,794
Paul 3,258,219 6,566

"Our analysis shows Bernie Sanders is being ignored by the mainstream media to a shocking degree. If covered at the average rate we’d have seen about 61,500 more stories including Sanders in the last 6 months: 91,094 mentions instead of 29,525."

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!
'ol BERNIE was sidelined by the LAME STREET MEDIA because "the fix" was was already in for That LYing Crooked Hillary to be the nomination!

First, boys and girls of the MEDIA coddled over his excellency and his majesty King ODUMBO ....getting a little raunchy, just say say THEY were OBAMA butt boys and girls!

But, with Hillary i dare say WHAT would THEY (LAME STREET MEDIA) WOULD DO to get themselves IN COMPROMISING SITUATIONS with her... maybe like pleasing her in a way an old bag like Hillary would want to be pleased!

The Media have an UNHOLY relationship with these two, or any candiate with a (D) in front of their names.

If you asked me....the Liberal Media (ABC,NBC, MSNBC, CBS) ARE soooooooooooooooooooo LOW and downright dirty....THEY are LOWER than the belly of a rattlesnakes in a wagon rutt!

That really LOW!

To name just one
this is quite mild sort just of a left of center for most countrys in the world, but in the US it about as Left as you can be

"Millions of seniors live in poverty and we have the highest rate of childhood poverty of any major country. We must strengthen the social safety net, not weaken it. Instead of cutting Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and nutrition programs, we should be expanding these programs"
~B Sanders

and I never said he was a socialist I said he is about as socialist as you can get in american politics

yes, most view him in that light.

he has a following of approximately 12 million, i think, in the primaries.

he could bring every last one of them along if he were to become hillary's vice president. i'd like to see that happen.

Socialism? socialist?
There is not socialism in this time, well not here and I doubt it in your land.
The politicians (here)that are "left" they live in the best residential areas, with a golf club and they drive expensive vehicles, etc...

What it is true is that

Socialism/comunism: means of production by the state.
Capitalism: means of production by the elites.

Either way, most of the population are screwed.

12 million followers for Bernie? wow

the weird thing about it is usually a society moves toward socialism as they age, but the bern has a fan club of mostly a younger group here in the states.

12 million could tip the scale. wow we shall soon find out. wink
