The blatant disregard for Sanders in the media sickens me!

See the quote from Jon Gray in this thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10141183797

What the hell? I Googled Jon Gray, and he is a consultant with Strategy Research, a PR firm in Mobile AL. I tried to do a "Contact Us" from their website (http://strategy-pr.com/contact.php), but it wasn't accepted because my work computer's cookies are disabled.

This was my message:

http://wkrg.com/2015/08/20/crews-rushing-to-prepare-for-trump/

“On the democrat side, especially with Hillary, you have had some really big crowds but I can’t find anyone that has done over 25,000 thus far for this season,” said political strategist Jon Gray.

Mr Gray, you might want to Google "Bernie Sanders," because this quote makes you look very uninformed, not to mention completely incompetent at "research". Just wanted to let you know.


I plan to do this from home later this evening, but if anyone else should want to set the record straight with Mr Gray before then, by all means feel free!

one to the contact us area at Strategy Research, one posted to the story page for the news station, and one to the station directly via the 'contact us' option for them.
Might not do any good, but can't not try.

I could not post, supposedly also because of cookies. However, my computer DOES accept them--and even allows sites I've visited to follow me around the net creepily. So, I have no clue what that is about. It must be something my anti-virus blocks?

This would have been my message:

Claiming you know of no Presidential hopeful with big crowds other than Trump is astounding. Bernie Sanders has been drawing huge crowds almost since he first announced he was running for the Democratic nomination.

Overflow alone at Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders' Los Angeles rally was 9,000, making a total of 29,500. And, unlike Trump, Sanders does not offer free lunches or helicopter rides to the children of those who attend.
