Bernie Sanders has 5.8 million MORE supporters than Donald Trump at the present time......

[Playinghardball]

Let's look at a few numbers that the mainstream "liberal" media won't tell you.

Bernie Sanders has 6 MILLION MORE supporters than Donald Trump. (Yet, Trump gets significantly more media coverage.)

Here are the numbers:

-There are close to 86 million registered Republicans. The average of the last three GOP polls on Real Clear Politics as of Aug. 24th put Donald Trump at 22% in the GOP field. That translates into 18.9 million supporters for Donald Trump.

-There are close to 99 million registered Democrats. The average of the last three Democratic Party polls on Real Clear Politics as of Aug. 24th put Bernie Sanders at 25% support. That translates to 24.7 million supporters for Bernie Sanders.

So Bernie Sanders has 5.8 million MORE supporters than Donald Trump at the present time.

(Obviously these figures fluctuate due to the most recent poll numbers. This is a snapshot in time. Yet the question remains, if Bernie Sanders has more support than Donald Trump then why does Trump get so much more media coverage?)

1. For the same reason that Dancing with the Stars gets more viewers than CSpan.

People prefer being entertained to being informed.

4. They don't get much choice if they are depending on the Corporate Media for news. However, since

more and more Americans don't get their news from the MSM anymore, it seems the Corporate media is catering to a minority of people who prefer to be entertained than to have their minds stimulated.

I think Americans do want real news so they go elsewhere to get it.

2. msm covers in detal every fart of Trump to avoid covering issues of

importance to Americans.
