Despite Biased Media Coverage, Sanders Wins Michigan
GUEST: Adam Johnson, a contributing writer at Alternet and at Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR).
Bernie Sanders defied all polling expectations on Tuesday night and defeated Hillary Clinton in Michigan, upsetting predictions for the Democratic nomination race. FiveThirtyEight.com, which has made a name for itself in predicting elections, wrote, “Sanders’s win in Michigan was one of the greatest upsets in modern political history.”
Most of the mainstream media was also caught off guard in their coverage of the race. In fact, in the hours between Sunday’s debate and Tuesday’s race, my guest Adam Johnson caught the Washington Post publishing 16 negative articles about Sanders in 16 hours!
