Previous pictures of Bernie Sanders’ May 26th rally in Burlington, VT published on this website showed the rally from behind the stage out to the far edge of part of the audience. This picture, below, shows the rally from the far edge of most of the audience in front of the stage.
Clearly, the picture below, shows at least 10,000 people attended the rally.
If bourgeois media had reported that Bernie Sanders attracted over 10,000 people at his rally, he would have soared ten points in the polls. Hillary would have dropped ten points.
Bourgeois media protects Hillary. It minimizes, trivializes, and marginalizes developments that seem detrimental to her campaign.
Evidently, Hillary and her campaign intimidate the media by threatening to accuse the media of gender bias. Aggressive members of Hillary’s staff routinely maintain to the media that Hillary wouldn’t have lost in 2008 but for gender bias of the media
Hillary and her campaign have already leaked a 40-year old piece of fiction written by a young Bernie to implicate Bernie in gender bigotry.
Hillary leads in the polls, fundraising, name recognition, and big shot endorsements.
But the spectacular turnouts at Bennie’s events across the country show that he leads in voter or supporter contact which produces these good turnouts.
The bourgeois media or, better still, the lying cappie press or still better, Wall Street propaganda can’t save Hillary now any more than it could save her in 2008.
You lament that the major media doesn’t report Bernie Sanders’ numbers honestly. That they deliberately under report the success and popularity of his campaign. You are surprised? The fourth estate has never represented the interests of the working class. They are always in the service of the bourgeoisie. Complaining about the media coverage of Bernie’s campaign is like complaining that the arsonist has burned down your house. Even those closest to Bernie in the “liberal” media are leaning toward Hillary. Those that used to interview him have closed their doors. You are wasting your energy focused on this issue.
