Why the hosts skipped caucusing; the media's Bernie blind spot

  • Why didn't any of the hosts caucus?

A host explains he did not caucus because he is not registered with either party and will not feign affiliation just to be part of the process; Mike is addressed by name on-air during the exchange. The conversation turns to media coverage: a Wall Street Journal analysis giving 95% of Democratic coverage to Hillary Clinton versus 5% to Bernie Sanders, reported on NPR, and Sarah Palin's Trump endorsement generating huge coverage but no movement in Trump's numbers. Running gags: 'my man Byrne' for Bernie Sanders, and renaming the party 'Republican Foust' after the addressee's last name.
