When no one in SC or NV know anything about Sanders, thats not nearly enough. That ad money is paid to Comcast and Time Warner...huge media corporations who..lo and behold, have given lots of money to the Clinton campaign. They know they'll lose big time if Sanders gets big money out of politics so anyone can run for office without having to beg the rich for money. Of course that influences how these media corporations view Sanders.
Why are they supporting Hillary, a warmongering Wall Street bedfellow whose prior dynasty led to a markedly higher incarceration rate of African Americans...if they know about Bernie Sanders -- someone who has marched the streets for them and has been arrested for civil disobedience, someone who wants to work towards accessible healthcare and higher education for all. Things that will be powerful resources for black Americans to become successful and empowered.
By the way, of course Hillary didn't have to spend much. She's already a household name, as is Trump. Coca-Cola doesn't need to worry much about advertising, everyone knows of them anyway. The mainstream media already favors Cruz/Rubio/Kasich and gives them plenty of freebie TV coverage.
Bernie's the only one facing the challenge of not already being a notorious household name and not a darling of the big networks.
It's easy to say, "there's no need to treat minorities different than everyone else," when whites have the natural advantage. Whites have better funded public schools and black poverty is much higher than whites. Saying the Trumpism, "Special programs sounds good on paper but everyone knows they aren't in person," without stating specifics, is a meaningless statement. The reality, of course, is that SNAP, CHIPS and Medicaid have done a lot, especially for black children in poverty. Also, programs that abate discrimination in housing have also been worthwhile.
Blacks are also known to get harsher criminal penalties compared to whites and the prison population is disproportionately black. Underplaying existing racial bias, as Trump seems to be doing, really just shows a lack of appreciation of white privileged.
Oh yes, I hear people like you all the time describing the special programs blacks need to help them up and out of poverty and at the same time blessing stanky trade deals and amnesty to screw them out of good jobs. You hate sweat shops in China but you are afraid to turn them in and like the Walmart and Target merch. So, just put on those shades and walk away. You could pay a bit more and all those people you think need special help could just make that merch here in America, pay for their own kids education, and have a decent middle class existence.
But, I guess you'll create special programs to lift them out of the rotten deal you created in the first place. That way they feel like it's YOU who's done them a favor instead of feeling like THEY were able to make a decent living for their family. I just love the liberal mindset.
Novel idea: Leave the millions of good paying factory and production jobs here in America and keep out illegal competition for those jobs. That way people, black or white, don't have to be blessed by the governments special programs? Weird I know.
If only they could pay for a nicer home, and better schools, but look who's dreaming. They should just wait for their section 8 gifts. Why does everyone think if someone is a minority they don't want to work because it's too hard for them in this white world? That's just B>S>
Or they just are forced to deal drugs so we should just eliminate the drug charge. Listen, all the black people I know are nothing like that, nothing. They are just regular people and what normal crap.
This is very true. The media is owned by corporations.
Ever wonder why the media does not run stories why wages have remained stagnant in this country or why so many people can only find low paying part time jobs? Ever wonder why there is no cost versus benefits discussions regarding "free trade". We are just told that free trade creates jobs (yeah in Asia).
There is no debate or discussion.
I watch lots of CNN and MSNBC and their shows are totally dominated by Establishment lackies being interviewed by Establishment lackies. One after another taking about how the Queen of the Prom had done so much for African-Americans. And then they go on to talk about how bad things are for African-Americans. The duplicity is jaw dropping. Of course people of all ethnicities are equally capable of selling out for gobs of money.
It's out of ignorance. The billionaires know why they support Clinton and whom they are supporting; the African Americans don't really know. They are fooled and being used. It happens everywhere, at workplaces, for example, when someone needs support/vote, they play nice to everyone, esp. to those who are not very sharp in judgment.

Who knew that all it would take is a caucus loss or two for the closet racist to come crawling out of so-called progressives? Just look at these horrible posts. You people are unreal.
Black "leaders" doesn't always translate into black people. Amazingly enough they have their own minds which they can in deed control, I've seen it.
One thing I hate about Hilary is her grouping of minorities and I'm not about to follow suit. I'll go with these girls take on Trump, and hope most people don't follow the candidates party like zombies but think for themselves. Lots of people are changing their party to vote for Trump.
Trump states there's no need to treat minorities different than everyone else because what most all people want is a fair platform and plenty of jobs. Special programs sounds good on paper but everyone knows they aren't in person. But those jobs we've traded away for pennies DO MATTER!
I really hope those women are being paid by Trump. Not because I think they are disingenuous, but the Trump camp is getting A LOT of miles out of them.

No--I don't wonder because it is in the media constantly, and, in fact has been in the media for a decade.
