Sen. Sanders has made criticism of the press central to his message.
WASHINGTON — Bernie Sanders had a camera crew and a bone to pick.
Every politician complains about the press, especially when things aren't going his or her way. But few — the current president aside — have made media criticism as central to their message as Sanders, who has long viewed the mainstream media as a bulwark of the political and economic system he has spent his life trying to tear down.
Last night, the campaign offered an olive branch of sorts to the press in the form of a friendly softball game between campaign staff and reporters in Iowa on the ball field made famous by the movie"Field of Dreams." He's complained about media consolidation and corporate ownership, an ethos of political reporting that favors the horse race and personality —"gossip" — over policy and substance, and a belief that the mainstream media dumbs down the discourse to distract the masses from its advertisers' agenda.
