It's a large part of why I don't like cult of personalities. Just take a look at the r/ourpresident sub with all the theories on how everyone has it out for Bernie especially in regard to media. I wouldn't mind if it were actual thoughtful critique, but it's usually along the lines of "main stream media/corrupt media has it out for him" type of stuff. It mirrors behavior I detest from conservatives, so it's frustrating to see it on our end. I voted sanders and think he'd be the best choice, but it's not at all surprising to me why he's not growing despite having the best policies. I wish that was all it takes, but unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case. Wholeheartedly agree on Tulsi, very odd.
Cult of personalities are lame when they focus on losers and dangerous when they focus on winners.
And the media having a hate boner on Bernie isn't far fetched since the guy is full on eat the rich.
The problem is that Americans see themselves as temporarily embarrased millionaires so this angle never made sense to begin with.
The media isn't against Sanders because of some plot against America or something, it's only because it makes good TV that gives them cash that they're after.
And it's fucking rich to shit on CNN or MSNBC when Sanders is more than happy to go on FoxNews thus allowing the propaganda channel to sell ad space by the million.
Sanders is personnally helping finance a literal state tv that is pushing against EVERYTHING Sanders stands for.
It's partly why we're in this mess and the guy just go and help them financially.
The guy is anything but perfect (EVERYONE is) yet the way the campaign and the social media around him are makes you think he isn't.
Worse yet when he makes mistakes, you get a barrage of conspirational thinking to tell you that he's actually a super genius.
That shit is legit funny when you see that in flatearthers but grating and downright infuriating when there's something at stake.
