Bernie Sanders announced he is running to be the Democratic Party nominee for United States president in 2020. The billionaires who control the national news media immediately began the negative coverage of Sanders.
The New York Times, for example, immediately published a story about how incompetent the Sanders campaign had been in getting its message out to African-American voters.
CNN broadcast a story about how it will be more difficult for Sanders to win the nomination in 2020 than it was in 2016. The argument is that Sanders is now running against women, suggesting in the process that Hillary Clinton, the most politically powerful female in US political history, was not a woman. Or perhaps the folks at CNN decided to overlook the fact that Clinton was and still is a woman, who raised more money and received more votes while running for president than anybody in United States and perhaps world history.
Expect more negative stories and broadcasts about Sanders. The billionaires and Wall Street executives fear Sanders more than any other candidate, with the possible exception of Elizabeth Warren.
Expect Joe Biden to become the billionaire/Wall Street Democratic candidate and to enter the race relatively soon. The big money will be behind Joe, as well as the corporate news media. We can expect no less from the billionaires in the race to put a man or a woman of the people in the white house. They will try to stop Sanders, Warren, or any progressive, for that matter.

Bernie? I was a big fan of his until he capitulated to the Dems, after they forced him out of the running, and then supported Clinton. he remains a party hack, albeit a bit better than the rest. He is no peacenik either. He could have joined the Greens too, to really help change Amerika.

John excellent article. It’s no surprise to those of us who got a wake up call with Obama’s Fast Track of the TPP, blocking discussion of single payer, and never going after the banksters. Keep posting these articles.
