Get ready for the anti-Sanders media avalanche

""The key question going forward is whether opinion writers, cable-news contributors and other pundits fan the freak-out or help Americans cut through the tripe. Fox News is an irreparable Trump propaganda outlet, but can voters expect better from the rest?

This sort of scaremongering is nonsense. Sanders has held office for decades and has been a remarkably effective legislator for a progressive in a conservative era. Sanders has made clear what he means by “democratic socialism”: that quality health care, education and a decent wage are basic human and economic rights that should be guaranteed to all.

He hasn’t talked about taking over the commanding heights of the economy. He isn’t flashing Mao’s “Little Red Book.” Instead, Sanders has called for returning to the teachings of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the greatest of 20th-century Democratic presidents."
