Katrina Vanden Heuvel Slams Media For Obsessive Trump Coverage While Marginalizing Sanders
The Nation's Katrina vanden Heuvel took a whack at our corporate media for propping up the likes of bully Donald Trump, while continually portraying Bernie Sanders as unelectable. During a panel discussion on ABC's This Week, where regulars Matthew Dowd, Bloody Bill Kristol and Donna Brazile were debating whether or not Donald Trump is actually going to wind up being the Republican nominee for president in 2016, vanden Heuvel let the media have it for their part in promoting his dangerous, flame throwing candidacy.
STEPHANOPOULOS: The Republican nominee?
DOWD: The Republican nominee for president.
He leads nationally in every single poll for more than two months. He leads every single state, including favorite son states like Florida where he leads Jeb Bush. Jeb Bush is third. And any Republican that has lead for two months and lead every state has won the GOP nomination.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Bill Kristol, what do you think of that?
BILL KRISTOL, THE WEEKLY STANDARD: Won't happen. Won't happen.
I mean, Trump has -- a, I think he's hit his ceiling of about 30 percent. You don't find much...
STEPHANOPOULOS: A pretty high ceiling in a big field.
