Jim Hightower: The Corporate Media Is Basically Pretending Bernie Sanders Doesn't Exist @alternet

"polls also show Bernie trouncing The Donald if they face each other in November’s presidential showdown.

The big networks’ devotion of 234 minutes to all-things-Trump was “balanced” by less than 10 minutes for Sanders. Most egregious was ABC, the Disney-owned network. ABC’s World News Tonight awarded 81 minutes of national showtime to Trump last year — and for Bernie: 20 seconds."
