DEMAND ALL MAJOR MEDIA NETWORKS TO GIVE BERNIE SANDERS EQUAL TIME

"Bernie Sanders officially launched his presidential campaign a month before Donald Trump did, but TV networks have nonetheless covered Trump 6 times more than they covered Bernie in 2015. The two most popular networks covered Trump ten times as much as they cover Sanders.

The GDelt Project, which maintains a database containing over a quarter billion records of the world’s news media in over 100 countries, has now launched a 2016 presidential campaign tracker. GDelt’s tracker monitors mentions of candidates across 9 television networks — Al Jazeera America, Bloomberg, CNBC, CNN, Comedy Central, Fox Business, Fox News, LinkTV, and MSNBC.

In each instance, networks devoted far more air time to Trump than to Bernie Sanders, even on days when Sanders broke record after record for campaign rally attendance in Madison, Wisconsin; Phoenix, Arizona; Seattle, Washington; Portland, Oregon, and Los Angeles." U.S.CUT
