You are saying that a party favoring a long time very influential and even famous member over one who just joined to run for president is not fair. As far as the media goes they follow what makes news, and it took a while for Sanders to make enough of a rumble to be on there frequently. Then you say establishment, which goes right back to the earlier answer for the DNC. Those are your reasons for why it was not fair. Would a election between you and Sanders be fair? Of course not.
