Washington Post Runs 16 Anti-Sanders Ads in 16 hours
----------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, The Washington Post is receiving criticism for running a
total of 16 negative stories about Bernie Sanders in only 16 hours. From
Sunday, March 6, to Monday, March 7-which included the time period of
the Democratic debate in Flint, Michigan-The Washington Post ran more
than a dozen articles criticizing Sanders. This follows a trend of
mainstream media coverage either ignoring or scorning Sanders. Data from
the Tyndall Report showed that Donald Trump received up to 23 times as
much coverage on mainstream media networks than Democratic presidential
candidate Bernie Sanders in 2015.
