"What Sanders is doing there is absolutely no different than what Trump does," complained CNN's Chris Cillizza, claiming that Sanders was borrowing from Trump's anti-press handbook. Question: Has Sanders vilified and insulted reporters by name? Has Sanders turned a blind eye to the murderous execution of a Washington Post columnist at the hands of Saudi Arabian thugs? Has Sanders derided journalists as the "enemy of the people" and hyped the spread of "fake news"?
Trump's White House, both by choking off access to reporters and by gleefully denigrating the Fourth Estate, has sprinted into dangerous and uncharted territories. Lots of elite news outlets have done absolutely nothing in response to the unprecedented bullying, and now reporters want to play the Both Sides game with Sanders and Trump?
Sanders is right about the corporate media in America.
