Bernie Sanders, The Front-Runner The Mainstream Media Ignores.

I have been watching a lot of mainstream media lately and I must say from the perspective of someone who generally watches independent media I've been noticing a trend in how the mainstream media covers Bernie Sanders they don't, they try to ignore him. It's really that simple. A recent story came out about ABC's coverage of Bernie Sanders they have covered him for a full 7 minutes. Read more here at The Free Beacon. The fact that ABC has only covered him for 7 minutes in 2019 when he is a top tier candidate in the democratic primary is asinine and plays into the blatant media bias against Bernie Sanders, it seems to be helping him build the case that he is the true outsider candidate, luckily he has a rather large online media platform thanks to Facebook and Twitter and YouTube.

In the past having the most cash on hand was considered an indicator of the race and now that Bernie is leading the field they hardly bring it up. To be clear the following are the current stats for the 2020 money race.


Cash on Hand: As of Oct.2019


  1. Bernie Sanders..........................$33.7 Million
  2. Elizabeth Warren.......................$25.7 Million
  3. Pete Buttigieg.............................$23.4 Million    
  4. Joe Biden....................................$ 9 Million

The Mainstream media such as CNN, MSNBC, ABC does not view fundraising the same anymore since Bernie is currently in the lead, whereas if any other candidate had $33 million Cash on hand in Q3  they would be shouting it from the rooftops read more about Bernie's record breaking numbers in Q3. Bernie Sanders is the first campaign to reach 4 million individual donations and yet these stories get little to no air time on the mainstream news channels.

If any other candidate was leading the 2020 democratic primary races in three early states the mainstream media would not shut up about it. Bernie Sanders is currently leading New Hampshire, tied for first with Biden in Nevada, and winning from a huge uptick from just 13%  to 24% in California. New Hampshire and Nevada are early states, that can easily build momentum for Bernie and California has the most pledged delegates. To be clear Bernie is doing really well in these states because he has a populist agenda and he has over 1 million active volunteers that's more then any other 2020 candidate, which is another thing the mainstream media fails to report on.

I have complied a small list of independent media YouTube channels which I find helpful when I am looking for a less bias coverage to the primaries as opposed to the mundane mainstream media. This list is not ranked in any particular order and many of the recommended channels are left wing, but they only have the interest of their viewers and not corporations and big sponsors. Support Independent media!

Weed Legalization as a Solution for Healing a Broken Country.

Leafly/Trainwreck Today people are still being arrested and given records for a plant that is now legal in 11 states and 33 states for medicinal use as of June 2020. People that are detained in states where it is illegal are sometimes thrown in jail, fined, and given a record. It's almost as if it's their goal is to humiliate people for getting caught with a herb that grows on Mother Earth, naturally. When people are arrested for possession, they are not eligible for federal funding like other citizens, they are stripped of social safety net, they are not given boots, only laces. People shouldn't be punished because they smoke something that is natural and of the earth.  Who are we as mortal men who piss-yellow to tell someone they can't fish or they can't hunt? There are far more hunting accident deaths; then, there are people who have died from smoking marijuana. Still, we have that right to get out into nature, climb trees and hunt for our food if we wish to do ...

Marijuana Legalization is About Healthcare and Recreational Freedom

By: Andy Wyatt  January 27, 2022 Image Source:CNN Is America truly a free country if you can be arrested for smoking a plant that mildly alters your thoughts and can help ease your mind after a long stressful day in a capitalistic hellscape? Something that has been proven to be less addictive than coffee . Just like healthcare is a human right, so should be the right to grow, smoke, and profit from the plant.   Any arrest or conviction of marijuana-related drug charges should not only be expunged by the court systems, but victims should be paid in restitution for the damages caused to their reputations. People have lost their livelihoods over a failed drug war. The War on Drugs has been primarily propped up by the legacy status quo media, the establishment of GOP, and the establishment Democratic party. Joe Biden, a Democrat himself, is on record when he was running for 2020  in the primary, saying that we don't know if marijuana is a gateway drug at a town hall ....

Democrats Need to Hit the Reset Button If They Want to Win.

     Joe Biden has said it himself. He's a mainstream Democrat; he's not Bernie Sanders . That's true. Bernie Sanders is a left-wing progressive who supports marijuana legalization and understands that we need to end the federal prohibition of cannabis via executive order. Bernie Sanders supports Medicare for All, and Joe Biden favors our current status quo broken healthcare system.  The progressive movement has a unique opportunity to point out their differences in local elections in the upcoming midterms. Biden doesn't have a winning message to run on. Joe Biden's approvals are at a record low , but the left can come out on top if we effectively highlight and communicate the apparent differences between progressive and establishment democrats to voters. It's a verifiable fact Bernie Sanders has a higher approval rating than the sitting president among the American public. Progressives are for universal healthcare during a pandemic. Medicare for all means heal...
