Does anybody know how to get a total air time that Hillary Clinton has received during the primary season so far compared to the total air time that Bernie Sanders has had?
T.V. Has such a huge impact... I mean if you are not covered, you are not known. People are not on the internet researching the candidates, they just rely on mms for their information. The way that you are covered also matters as well, as in news talk shows. When all of these news talk shows talk about nothing but Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump ......and the other candidates a snip here and there...well what results can you expect at the voting booth?
At least the Republicans had a lot of debates to watch, giving all of the candidates some more air time.......all 18 of them. Lol

he would be nowhere near his current levels. If the MSM had covered Bernie half as much as HRC, he
would be way ahead.

The candidates should get equal airtime. PERIOD. public financing PERIOD
Otherwise, just ordain the President of the United States forget about the "election"

I think they will keep the curtain up, it seems to be working for them.
There is no doubt the news coverage has not been fair or balanced.
Once Bernie has been in office for a few years we will see better for campaigns.

(13,685 posts)That is if we have enough of us working to make the changes happen. We almost had it with Obama. Closest I had ever seen. But it didn't happen.
With Bernie as president I see much better chances. So does Bernie.
