Re “A Bernie Blackout?,” by Charles M. Blow (nytimes.com, March 17):

Senator Bernie Sanders has done very well despite the “blackout.” The lack of coverage and the skepticism of the media have made it doubly difficult for him to introduce himself and his ideas to the general public. I have long said that the more people see Bernie, the more they like him, and the more they respect his main thesis.

He has done a great service this year, not only by making Hillary Clinton a better candidate, but also by focusing on the core American problem of wealth disparity/power inequality — something the other candidates rarely talk about.

I hope that Bernie has shown that many Democrats oppose Hillary Clinton’s desire to turn the Democrats into Republican-lite. The younger voters “get” Bernie. They are the future. So is getting more information via social media. Too bad traditional media closed its eyes to what is going on.

To the Editor:

This is no criticism of Bernie Sanders, but he has pretty much stuck to just one theme, so there’s often not much new to report. Also, since he is neither a prevaricator nor a showboat and certainly anything but a demagogue, there are not the scandal and ugliness that the press always seem drawn to.
