With the Democratic National Convention less than three months away, all signs point to front runner Hillary Clinton being named the party's nominee. While Bernie Sanders still has an outside shot, it would take a historic collapse to reverse the current trend.

Media 'Bern' out

In a one-one-one interview with MSNBC's Rachel Maddow on Friday night, Sanders sat down to discus the current state of the race, and his feelings on the entire process in general. At one points during the interview, the conversation turned to the media, and how it was delivering the news to the American people during the 2016 election cycle.

As reported by Mediaite on May 6, Sanders ripped into the media's election coverage, and suggested a controversial solution.

"I think the American people are sick and tired of establishment politics, Sanders said, stating that they were also "a little bit tired of corporate media as well.' In response, Maddow asked what Sanders' solution to the corporate media would be. "The Democratic party, for a start, starts funding the equivalent of Fox television."

The Vermont senator continued, pointing out that "Maybe as a nation, the American people are entitled to hear real discussions on real issues." Sanders went on to say that the news media spends less time talking about real issues that affect hard working Americans, and too much time on "what dumb thing did Donald Trump say yesterday." Sanders comments don't come as a surprise, as he usually works in shots at big corporations during most of his campaign speeches.

Election status

With 1,362 delegates, Sanders is not that far behind Clinton's 1,683. While the gap in delegates between the two doesn't appear too wide, it's Clinton's lead in Superdelegates that puts the race almost out of reach. Sanders only has 39 Superdelegates that have decided to vote his way, compared to 522 who are expected to officially support the former Secretary of State.

Regardless of who walks out of the convention as the party's nominee, both Clinton and Sanders have polled ahead of Republican front runner Donald Trump in most hypothetical general election surveys.
