"Are you sure Bernie won Indiana? I'm not seeing any headlines on Yahoo about it."

[Fumesucker]

A remark my neighbor made this morning strikes me a bit after logging onto DU today and reading the thread titles in GD-P.

We are both old enough not to sleep a lot and we get together a couple of times a week at about five am for coffee and a bullshit session before he leaves for work at six. He's not particularly interested in politics but like me isn't a TV watcher of any note and gets his news from the internet.

He talks finance which I'm mostly clueless about, I talk politics which he is pretty clueless about and we both learn something and get a fresh perspective on our own area of interest.

So I mentioned fairly early that Bernie had won Indiana and we chatted about politics for a moment or two and then moved on to other subjects. After the coffee was brewed and poured we sat down in his study and he booted his computer while we continued to talk. He logged into Yahoo where his email defaults to and after looking at their news for a couple of minutes on his very large screen and talking about a couple of different stories regarding Trump and Cruz he said "Are you sure Bernie won Indiana? I'm not seeing any headlines on Yahoo about it."

I didn't really think much of it at the moment beyond the "So what else is new?" shrug I had shared with him at that moment.

People are noticing the media aversion to positive stories about Bernie, people who aren't paying that close attention to politics as some of us do here.

1. Well, on Huffington Post it was the fourth story down the page, behind 3 Trump stories, so... nt

2. You have to wonder where we might have been if

the media hadn't "disappeared" Bernie for the first half of his campaign.

3. It's in the headline of the New York Times website....

And it is the second story on the Washington Post website.

That seems pretty freakin' prominent.

4. Weird. It's the #2 story on my Yahoo News.

8. Did I mention there were stories on Trump winning and Cruz losing?

Why yes, I did.

Thanks for the tip...

5. Sad

but true and it's not just Bernie. Every election season the most progressive candidate is always given less coverage. They are marginalized. The media decides who they want to promote and that is the candidate that gets the most coverage and the most positive coverage. This has been happening for years and what initially turned me off to the MSM. And once I noticed their lack of coverage about progressive candidates I started to notice their lack of coverage about progressive policies and opinions in general.
