Say what you want about Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) – we know we do plenty of it here – but he rarely gets a fair shake from the mainstream press. Perhaps it is because he incidentally exposed Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee. Who knows?
What we do know is that the media like to portray him in a negative light on a regular basis.
Case in point, a recent Counterfeit News Network story that suggests a large number of Sanders supporters are exiting his campaign and joining Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).
Surely, there must be numbers to back this claim up, right? Right?!
Well, in a word, no.
What CNN did was that it spoke to one person, who supported Sanders in 2016 and will now back Warren in 2020. That’s it. That’s the story.
Here is a tweet that showcases the story:
CNN just ran an entire segment about Bernie supporters moving to Warren, without referencing any data whatsoever.
Their caption is literally about a lone Bernie supporter they found who now backs Warren.@CNN has hit a new low in crafting propaganda.#NoMiddleGround#Bernie2020 pic.twitter.com/KLCqGBtoDy
