[See NewsBusters for more.] Nightline reporters on Wednesday offered a gushing look at Bernie Sanders, hailing the “political revolution” by the socialist senator and praising his presidential campaign as “on fire.” The almost-seven minute segment was devoid of questioning the presidential candidate’s ideology. Instead, journalist David Wright informed viewers, “Integrity and authenticity are words his supporters use.” Wright enthused, “Bernie Sanders' campaign is on fire right now, front-runner to win the new Hampshire primary.” Without any sense of analysis, the reporter hyped, “He rails against the one percent and the politicians they keep in their pocket. His platform, straight out of Occupy Wall Street. College education free-for-all Americans. College education free-for-all Americans.”
