WASHINGTON - U.S. presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, who has criticized corporate media and accused some outlets of a bias against his campaign, vowed to clamp down on media mergers and toughen enforcement of antitrust laws against tech giants like Facebook and Google.
Sanders also said he would limit the number of stations that large broadcasting corporations can own in each market and nationwide, and require media corporations to disclose whether their merger proposals would involve “significant” journalism layoffs. The proposal comes after Sanders earlier this month linked his criticism of Amazon.com Inc, which he has attacked for its tax breaks and wage policies, to what he said was unfair coverage of his campaign by the Washington Post, which is owned by Amazon owner Jeff Bezos. The Post has denied that Bezos influences news coverage.
What part of No don't you understand, Sanders?
The media does not raise a finger when the President lies to them. The corporate influence of the media should end. We need a vibrant media in order to have a functioning democracy. BernieSanders is right. He is always right.
Future President Sanders
Please help me spread this around. Oh my god, I sound like these spam tweets, but clearly I'm not.
Honest and fair reporting would be a new concept for 90% of the US media today. “Real journalism is different from the gossip, punditry, and clickbait that dominates today’s news.”

Bernie and Cardi: 2020's most unlikely tandemThe fact that Sanders chatted about parenting with Cardi B in the moments before the first primary debate is a testament to the oddball alliance the two have developed over the past year Ended Nicki Minaj.

Now, 2020 rivals Warren and Sanders have locked him in a three-way tie for the top spot. Do you think you could wait for confirmation before proclaiming that Biden’s support is slipping? It may or may not be, but that Monmouth poll is an outlier and only polled 300 peeps and a +/-5 MOE. GURL. DO BETTER.

New polls show top tier in Democratic raceTwo new polls suggest Democratic voters are looking at a top tier of candidates: Sen. Sanders, Sen. Warren, and former Vice President Joe Biden. Kamala Harris isn't top tier? I was impressed with her, but I am not neglecting Warren! We have some fine new potential winners to choose from and almost all of them can whip Trump and it is my fervent desire to see Trump have his teeth kicked in. He's playing a reckless game!
