“Man is incapable of understanding any argument that interferes with his revenue.” - Rene Descartes (1598-1650)
Few Organizations are more part of the status-quo establishment than the Media, as a result of their dependency on revenue from corporate advertising.

Therefore, not surprisingly the Des Moines Register, Iowa’s largest paper, endorsed Democratic Hillary Clinton and Marco Rubio in the 2016 presidential race.
The Register endorsed Republican Sen. Marco Rubio as choice for voters who want "opportunity and optimism" qualities which applies even more so to Democratic Sen. Bernie Sanders
The Register praised Vermont Democratic Sen. Bernie Sanders as "a man of courage and principle who has the ability to rally others to his cause" but fails to envision the change in Congress that a Sanders Presidency will inspire.
