Ahead of Super Tuesday thousands of Bernie supporters
marched in at least 45 cities and in as many as 70 cities across the USA, but the
corporate media turned a blind eye to the event. The media preferred covering the
latest terrible thing Donald Trump has blurted rather than a nationwide
organized march of thousands of Americans against corruption and inequality.
Bernie’swords on such black out delivered back in December 2015 still hold true, "It’s
no shock to me that big networks, which are controlled by a handful of large
corporations, have barely discussed our campaign and the important issues we
are bringing up …….. They’re just too busy covering [Republican presidential
candidate] Donald Trump."
The media definitely overlooked the marches because covering
them would have increased Bernie’s support among voters ahead of Super Tuesday and
more importantly would have decreased Hillary’s support. After all, Hillary and the corporate media kingpins
are brothers in arms in corruption.
The marchers filled sidewalks and streets chanting slogans
of real change, hope, peace, equality, justice, and prosperity. It was more than a Bernie phenomenon or a
Presidential campaign. Rather it was a passionate political movement that
demands revolution. Despite everything they’ve battled so far, the Sanders
campaign is thriving. The Twitter hashtag #MarchForBernie became instantly
trending.
