This Week, We Find Out if the Media Can Destroy Bernie Sanders
Good article from Paste.
"In some ways, that's the crux of this race—it's a referendum on how much power major papers, cable news, and their ilk actually wield in America. Trump undermined them, in a way, but his election also led to big profits as more people became politically aware after his election, leading to more subscriptions, higher TV ratings, and etc. If Sanders wins, it's a very different kind of statement that is more like a refutation—a new reality in which the most vociferous attacks can't budge a skeptical electorate. In that sense, defeating Sanders is more critical for them from an economic perspective than defeating Trump could ever be."
