Flight from $15! Networks Ignore Sanders’ Paying Staff ‘Poverty Wages’

That hypocrisy might have hurt him politically — if journalists had actually reported it. Although The Washington Post reported that his unionized campaign staff was upset over their pay, the networks and three national newspapers ignored the story.
