(7,286 posts)The impression I'm getting watching Sen. Sanders on these various news programs is that in some way the press is a bit intimidated by him. Even Toad, while definitely trying to stir the poo and bait the esteemed senator, seemed only to push so far unlike I've seen him press other pols. I really respect this man more than any politician I've ever been alive to see.

(7,286 posts)Wouldn't be the first (or 100th!) time I was wrong. I do think there's something there, though. Maybe because they understand that Bernie isn't bought and paid for which really, if you think about it, makes him a bit threatening.

(41,052 posts)how he knows the truth and inner workings of many things, especially the rot in govt., banks and corporations. And the Media is run by corporations for whom the reporters work. I've also sensed some have a decent regard for him particularly if they're considered true journalists. Not dependent on corporate and bank money, or hard party affiliations allows him more latitude of course. And Bernie is respected for honesty, experience and integrity by many folks as he should be. Not a sell out!
THE BERNIE BEAR!
