The fact is that no matter how committed we are to Third Party politics, we
have a duty at this time to support Sanders. It is hard to say this after more
than forty years in the Peace and Freedom Party. But it is a fact. We may know
that this campaign could lead its newly activated followers into the support of
Clinton of Biden as the Democratic Party nominee. But disgust at the machine
assured nomination of one of them in lieu of Sanders can equally well lead to
revulsion and recognition that the Democratic is, as it always has been, a
roadblock, not a path to independent political action.

From my blog, Hatuey's Ashes
Major Spanish language media in the United
States are extensively
covering Hillary Clinton and other mainstream political
figures but
almost completely ignoring news about Bernie Sanders.
An
underfinanced, crotchety old Senator from a tiny, virtually all-white
state,
with no national organization or a single significant
endorsement, who (in the
United States!) proclaims himself a socialist,
no less, mounts his horse,
picks up his lance, and rides off to tilt at
windmills, thinking they are
giants.
And the giants start to fall.
Ignored by the mainstream media and
even the "progressive" outlets, his
message spreads nonetheless. People come
out by the thousands to hear
and cheer him. The campaign raises millions from
donations that average
less than $50.
Yet a study of the web sites of the
five most important Spanish-language
news outlets in the United States --two
TV networks and three daily
newspapers-- reveals a lopsidedness that is
impossible to justify except
as an expression of systematic and generalized
bias on the part of
journalists and
editors.
