[Why are the Networks are Backing Bloomberg and All his Ads? Of course the networks continue to back him to keep the goose alive in the race that lays the golden eggs.]

I’m not sure where you’re getting the idea that the networks are backing Bloomberg. They have been peddling the narrative that Bloomberg is history, that he has suffered irreparable damage from Warren’s one-liners. In the meantime, he is quietly lining up barrages of new ads, new endorsements from local pols and expanding his network of highly-paid GOTV persuaders to do retail politics one voter at a time. Basically a rerun of his NYC mayoral campaigns.

Journalists at the networks think Sanders is too right-wing. They don’t like Bloomberg and never miss an opportunity to hammer away at him.

Journalists at the networks think Sanders is too right-wing.

While I agree with the rest of your post, not so sure I buy that statement. While I don't watch any news other than OAN, I get the impression that even those at MSNBC & CNN are critical of Sanders, because they do not believe he will be President Trump.
