Broadcast Bernie Sanders' Speech on Election Days

The Issue

Last election day, Tuesday March 15th, every speech by a presidential candidate was broadcast on MSNBC and CNN.

Except one.

Bernie Sanders. 

When Bernie Sanders was giving his speech the pundits on MSNBC didn't go to it; instead they talked about Donald Trump.

MSNBC and CNN covered the speeches given by John Kasich, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

There is no reason why they couldn't cover Bernie Sanders' speech as well. 

MSNBC and CNN have a tremendous power of informing the American people and this comes with a responsibility.

Please, do justice to ALL candidates. For all remaining election days in this campaign, broadcast Bernie Sanders' speech along with everyone else's. 

Amy Goodman, host of Democracy Now! said on a broadcast Wednesday:
"As Senator Bernie Sanders began his address on Tuesday night Fox News, CNN and MSNBC all declined to cut away, instead just continuing with their pundit's commentary and graphics, promising that they would soon go to Donald Trump's speech."
