Letter: Where was coverage of Sanders’ Denver rally?

On June 20, Sen. and declared candidate for president Bernie Sanders held a town hall meeting at DU in Denver. More than 5,500 Coloradans thought it important enough to crowd the halls on a sunny Saturday evening to hear what life-long independent, Bernie Sanders, was all about.

The Associated Press covered this story and most local stations just used the AP story. This was the considered one of the largest political rallies in the entire nation by any declared candidate and one that grew organically from social media, and our press covered it like it was a story about hay prices in Kansas. In fact, The Coloradoan never mentioned one word about it. It's downright deplorable what passes for journalism these days. Walter Cronkite, God bless him, must be rolling in his grave!

I encourage every reader who missed Bernie Sanders amazing speech in support of middle-class America, to follow this link to spark your imagination about the possibilities that can exist in our nation minus the worn out political BS from both sides of the aisle.
