It'll be interesting to see if the Sanders announcement makes the network "news" tonite.

I'm talking about the venerable big three. Yes I understand their #s are down and there not what they once were; but they still command the largest audience share and are the media most completely dominated by Corporate power.

I'm going to break w. habit tonite and watch. It should say a lot about how the Senator's campaign will be hereafter generally covered.

Or NOT covered.

1. I expect they to begin marginalizing him immediately, keep playing up HRC's "Inevitability"

2. I watched CBS Evening News

They *mentioned* ( i.e. no pic, no voice) Sanders' announcement in a two sentence fragment at the tail end of a five minute segment on Clinton. ( "Foundationgate&quot

Not great coverage for Clinton, but lots of footage, accusations, denials, etc. My sense is.... CBS is going to be "all Clinton; all the time."

Sanders was quoted, btw, as saying that questions about Foundationgate were legit.

BTW... PBS did have some "live" footage of Sanders announcement on The News Hour; he uttered about two sentences about "the Billionaire class" in front of the capitol.
