The media went nutty after he looked to have a decent lead up to the primaries so suddenly every story was about how Bernie loves Fidel Castro and communism, even so-called "liberal propaganda" MSNBC had their talking heads going on about how Bernie would quite literally have them executed.
America literally cannot have a president that isn't right wing or centrist, we're not allowed to.
Well yeah, but it was more Hillary and the superdelegates (that should be a band) fucking him over.
Yeah it was her turn to sit down.

Immediately following the debates you had Chris Matthews saying Sanders winning would lead to executions in Central Park.
The rhetoric surrounding Bernie in the media was ugly.
