This epic-rant happened when Bernie was telling Rachel Maddow, 'what he really thinks' about the Corporate Media's kid-glove 1-dimension treatment of Donald Trump when it comes to his positions on the Issues.
This happened at Sanders' recent Townhall event on MSNBC, with Ms Maddow moderating.

[partial transcript, Bernie Sanders speaking: ]
You know you mentioned a moment ago Rachel, that the Media is paying attention to Donald Trump.
Duh! No kidding. Once again every stupid remark will be broadcast for the next 5 days.
What is Donald Trump's position on raising the Minimum Wage?
Well, he doesn't think so.
What is Donald Trump's position on Wages in America?
Well, he said in a Republican Debate, he thinks wages are too high.
What is Donald Trump's position on Taxes
Well, he wants to give Billionaire Families like himself, hundreds of billions of dollars in Tax Breaks.
What is Donald Trump's position on Climate Change?
Oh, he thinks it's a Hoax, perpetuated -- shock of all shock -- by the Chinese.
On and on, it goes.
---
Everyday he comes up with another stupid remark, absurd remark.
Of course it should be mentioned -- but so should Trump's overall position.
How much talk to we hear about Climate Change, Rachel? And Trump? Any?
---
He knows how to manipulate the Media, and you say an absurd thing and the Media is all over it.
And my concern is that today in America, you've got millions of people who are struggling economically.
They want know: How were going to expand the Middle Class.
Overwhelmingly, people think we should raise the Minimum Wage.
A vast majority think Climate Change is real and a threat to our Planet, and they want to do something about that. What do we do?
A vast majority think that the Wealthiest people in this country should start paying their fair share of Taxes.
But if we don't discuss those issues, it creates the climate for people like Donald Trump to do MUCH better than he really has a right to do.
Could this recent New York Times article on all the Free Media that has been given to Trump gratis, have anything to do with Senator Sanders impassioned answers? Could be.

No wonder Sanders seems pissed-off agitated, with the very one-sided Media coddling (aka favoritism) like that — we all should be.
