Most of the mainstream media is slanted towards the democratic party, ABC, CNN,CBS, NBC and the New York Times are all liberal outlets, they are financially aligned with the Democratic National Committee. The biggest challenge to the party in 2020 is the Presidential primary. The current polls show the tremendous popularity of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders; this is something that the Democratic Party still does not quite understand.

78 year old Senator has mass appeal

The poster face of the Democratic Party has always been the Clintons (Bill and Hillary), Joe Biden, NY Senator Chuck Schumer and Speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi; these democrats have always controlled the party in some form or fashion. The mainstream media in the past has called Bernie Sanders a fluke, a niche, an accident, and a short term spark; these labels shows that they are simply out of touch with the average working person.

What the media calls radical

The mainstream media has labelled Bernie Sanders’s “Medicare for all” health insurance plan too radical, yet most democrats support it. A whopping 78% of democrats surveyed said that they would support Medicare for all, as long as they could keep their current doctors. This issue of health care highlights why the democratic mainstream media and Democratic Party is so out of touch with its members.

The most important issue to democrat voters was their doctor, if they could keep their doctors they would kiss the big billion dollar insurance companies good bye.

Big Money

The democratic media is a billion dollar for profit industry, they may not like Donald Trump but he has sure made them a whole lot richer. It is no secret that trump’s economy has benefited the billionaires and that includes the democratic media stations.

The working men and women of the United States can see clearly that the rich are getting richer, as the average working person is still mortgaged to up to their necks. Some are basically working to pay rent, or living paycheck to paycheck; this is what the mainstream Democratic Party does not understand. Most of the democratic leadership are multi millionaires.

Bernie’s message is simply, we have been fooled by the corporations, we are working and they are getting rich. Sanders’s message of having the super wealthy pay more to the common worker, is a message that has him booming in popularity. The fact that he has preached the same message for 40 years makes him believable.

If the mainstream media and Democratic Party would finally listen to the voters, they would realize that Bernie’s message is one that sounds like sweet music to their ears.
