Tell the TV networks: Stop ignoring Sanders

Stop ignoring Bernie Sanders and giving excessive coverage to Donald Trump. The TV networks are providing Donald Trump a disproportionate amount of free air timeā€”an outrageous 81 minutes on ABC World News Tonight, for example, compared with just 20 seconds for Bernie Sanders this entire year. Trump has received more network coverage than all of the Democratic candidates combined. This lopsided coverage gives Trump a significant, unfair advantage and helps spread his bigoted, un-American rhetoric.

Why is this important?

Trump has received 234 total network minutes compared to just 10 network minutes for Sanders. In giving Trump so much free air time, the networks are propping up his campaign and spreading his hate and bigotry.
