1. I am sure that it is part of the equation

in Yang not receiving anything near a fair share of the media attention. I would believe that most of it stems from the lack of ability by the media to do more than "horse race", sniping and gaffe reporting. There just isn't time between ads for drugs we never knew we needed to discuss policy proposals or to understand someone like Yang who is 3 steps ahead of the pack in his thinking.

Comes down to "They just don't get it and they simply don't want to get it".

3. Glad the YangGang is working to pick up the slack!

2. Maybe so, but I think it is harder to come from private sector sans any previous political office

and thus little name recognition--unless you are a charlatan Republican-come lately like Trump. Steyer has a leg up in this regard only because of the $$ he's spent on impeachment ads the past couple of years.

Not saying he's being treated fairly, but I'm not sure that it is his race at issue.

4. It's established fact that he's being treated unfairly.

As to why, we can only speculate.

5. This is a foolish statement.

"The craziest number in the news this week: Michael Bloomberg has been mentioned 4,486 times on cable TV in the last month. @AndrewYang, who is polling above Bloomberg, has been mentioned just 2,167 times *his entire campaign*"

The craziest thing is that someone actually thinks that statement means something, as presented.

6. Well

It does mean something and something significant. I believe there is a name for it........

9. It does have meaning.

It has nothing in connection with the claim being made but there is some meaning there.
