Bernie Blindness: a subreddit for noting the way press narratives ignore or smear Bernie Sanders


Bernie Sanders remains one of the leading contenders for the Democratic nomination for the 2020 presidential elections, but you’d hardly know it from the media narrative, which consistently downplays, ignores or misstates Sanders’ campaign platform and his achievements in favor of establishment candidates and even other trustbusters like Elizabeth Warren.


The Bernie Blindness subreddit collects compelling examples of this bias in action, from brigading trolls who are plastering Reddit with nearly identical messages insisting that Bernie is too frail to lead to CNN’s misleading coverage of poll results that have Sanders poised to trounce Trump.

I am a donor to both Bernie Sanders’ and Elizabeth Warren’s presidential campaigns.
