Bernie Sanders' team thinks the media is writing him off
Some reporters, Shakir told POLITICO, “attempt to hide their disdain and masquerade their commentary behind purported straight pieces that amount to seeing everything as a 'bad news for Bernie' moment."
Dan Pfeiffer, a former senior adviser to President Barack Obama and a co-host of “Pod Save America,” told POLITICO he generally considers “it a good thing that the once-private arguments between campaigns and reporters are now happening in public,” though he said he questions the effectiveness of Sanders’ media critiques.
Shakir calls Sanders a "news of the century kind of candidate,” focused on deep-rooted issues plaguing society rather than the daily churn. Still, the campaign says he’s taken questions from reporters after several campaign stops and had off-the-record meetings in some newsrooms. “We are always looking for opportunities to engage with press,” said deputy communications director Sarah Ford.
Sanders “wants to talk about what he wants to talk about, when he wants to talk about it,” said one reporter who covered the candidate in 2016 and 2019. “And he doesn't see the value of talking to reporters about what they want to talk about because, in part, he thinks they’re going to talk about what he considers stupid stuff.”
