I am not sure you remember but the media reaction to Bernie doing well initially was major outlets like CNN reacting with fear, loathing, and uncertainty. And it impacted rhe course of an election. You had anchors yelling about how Sanders will result in public executions in central park during the primary.
Yup. Crazy hyped up fear is the single most used tool the media has to throw at whoever the Dems don’t like. Tulsi too, when she didn’t bow to DNC pressure, was suddenly a “Russian asset”. Hillary Clinton couldn’t get on air fast enough to smear her. It was sick.
