It's not much better.

They covered the Sanders kickoff speech in Burlington and a couple other things, but CSPAN seems to do much much more Hillary coverage than Bernie.

In the first 100 I see 3 Bernie events and 15 Hillary segments. Some of them might be shorter. The first 4 Hillary segments are related to her kickoff on Roosevelt Island. They did a prolonged coverage of it apparently.

O'Malley has 6 segments in the 200 most recent segments,

While Bernie received 3 segments in the 200 most recent.


Hillary received 19 segments in that.

currently running in second place in the Dem primaries and catching up rapidly to the frontrunner.

I like O'Malley but he isn't close to Bernie in terms of support and consistently increasing polls.

To give more time to him does indeed seem odd. Almost as if they are pushing one over the other.

I do think they need to know that people are noticing this.
