In fact, as a Sanders supporter I have been following the coverage, as well as the coverage of the coverage, and every time someone posts an article about how mean the NYT is being to Bernie I take the extra step of going to the article and seeing for myself. Almost always you have to turn the article sideways and squint at it really hard to see any sign of the bias that is being asserted. Meanwhile, the “NYT is mean to Bernie” assertion gets tweeted and retweeted a billion times, maybe with the addition of “It’s true!” coupled with a link to the last article that asserted this and was broadly tweeted. The narrative has taken on a life of its own, but even if it is true it is based on the flimsiest of evidence.
However, instead of hurling “you’re either ignorant or a trolley!” at me, prove me wrong in this case. In this article, which is supposedly spun against Sanders, find the actual language which is “transparently and embarrassingly negative on Sanders”.
