DemocracyNow! host Amy Goodman told CNNs Brian Stelter that his network and most other mainstream media were manufacturing consent for Donald Trump by giving him more airtime than other candidates.
On Sundays edition of CNNs Reliable Sources, Goodman called out CNN for broadcasting an empty stage in anticipation of Donald Trumps press conference on election night last Tuesday without ever mentioning that Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders was giving a speech to his supporters at the same time.
Lets look at Super Tuesday 3, you had major coverage here at CNN, at MSNBC, at Fox all the networks across all through he night as the polls are closing, she recalled. You see the concession speeches and the great victory speeches, you see Hillary Clinton, Ted Cruz, Kasich, you see Donald Trump. Youre waiting here at CNN, at MSNBC. They said hes going to hold a news conference
and thats it.
Where was Bernie Sanders? she wondered. Well, in fact, Bernie Sanders was in Phoenix, Arizona before thousands of people and as the networks were waiting for Donald Trump and waiting and all the pundits are weighing in, they dont even say that Bernie Sanders is about to speak.
