If Bernie isn't getting much press, it's his own fault.
After all, all Sanders talks about are those issuey things.

If you want attention, insult the service of a decorated war veteran, or compare the President to the Nazis.
You know, straight talky, hard truthy stuff.

Our press is largely a disgrace.

Pretty sad.
The CNN website had a piece about Bernie, but it was really just gushing about how some thing called Reddit is the next big thing. No talk of positions on issues at all.

There was a hard-hitting, timely piece about Trump's opinion of women who pump breast milk.

I'm telling you guys, don't fret over the lack of mainstream media coverage at this stage.

Let's look back at fairly recent history --

Howard Dean, 2004. Remember that guy was the great liberal hope. The Disruptor. Got all sorts of media coverage. But on the day of the Iowa Caucuses, when people were calling his campaign HQ looking for a ride to the polls, or to find out what sections of the state they should be focusing their get out the vote efforts, no one was their to answer. They were disorganized and lost.

On the flip side, go back to Rick Santorum campaign in 2012. That guy got zero mainstream media coverage, save for one big profile in the NYT. But he won the caucus throught retail campaigning and making sure he had a core group of supporters there who would show up, get people to the polls, and spread his message. 

The Sanders campaign is doing the right thing. While the media if focusing on a guy (Trump) who has zero chance of being president, they are doing the hard work of organizing, planning, and developing a strategy for building support. 

And when he exceeds expectations in Iowa and New Hampshire (which I think he will) then the media will pay attention.
