Thank you, RG, for encouraging me to make another small donation to the Bernie Sanders campaign. The recently published AP article, "Fears of Sanders," lays bare the incredible bias of the Democratic establishment and the mainstream media outlets who benefit from their corporatist leanings.

Voicing establishment fears, the first two paragraphs alarm the reader that the "quirky 78-year-old who has "escaped close scrutiny" would "struggle to defeat" and "hurt the party’s chances." They relayed the "urgent warnings" of the party elite and their corporate backers while, of course, dropping the s-word (socialist) three times in the brief piece. It’s becoming harder for media outlets to hide their bias as the possibility of a Sanders presidency increases.

It correctly references the "dominant fundraising operation." However, voters of all persuasions deserve thorough reporting on what monies candidates are taking in (small donor vs. corporate PAC) and analysis of the implications on policy decision making.

Again, thank you for the compelling case against the Democratic establishment and all of the corruption it is working to keep in place. I’m confident more and more voters are recognizing the bottom-line profits that establishment Democrats are fighting to maintain.
