Last-minute news story exposed by media during Wisconsin Primary, aimed at sowing uncertainty about Sanders.
In a surprising turn of events, Bernie Sanders found himself in the midst of media scrutiny after an interview he conducted with The New York Daily four days ago was only published yesterday, April 5. The interview, which saw the Senator expressing uncertainty and admitting a lack of information on several occasions, has sparked debate among political pundits and journalists.
NBC News reported the story not 30 minutes ago, and the wave of media coverage has since been growing. CNN Politics published a piece titled "Sanders feeling media heat after new interview," while The Washington Post followed suit, publishing their own story on the matter three hours ago. The story was updated just ten minutes ago.
However, the reasons behind the delay in the initial publication of the interview remain unclear. A search of available information does not provide any documented explanation for this delay. It is worth noting that the primary is happening at this last minute, which may be occupying the Sanders campaign's attention. As of yet, the Sanders campaign has not commented on the media heat surrounding the interview.
Interestingly, certain media sources have been criticised for subtly endorsing Hillary Clinton, and some have suggested that if Clinton had given similar answers in an interview, she would have faced harsh criticism. Mark Halperin, the Bloomberg television host and co-author of "Game Change," tweeted that Clinton would have been crucified if she had given such responses.
Nonetheless, the delayed reporting of Sanders' interview and the subsequent media attention it has received serve as a reminder of the role media plays in shaping political narratives. As the race for the Democratic nomination heats up, it remains to be seen how the Sanders campaign will respond to this media heat and whether it will impact his campaign going forward.
