The media treats, or at least during the primaries treated, Trump much more favorably than they treat Sanders. They gave him unlimited airtime with no criticism or fact checking at all.
Trump attacks the media as a fascist, to bully them into submission. To keep them on the path of no resistance.
Bernie merely points out the media bias against even putting him on the air. With him, the media is on the path of most resistance.
There is no similarity whatsoever.

Sadly the attacks are coming from one direction only, and they're accelerated....

There is a REASON your post will not be responded to, the attacks ARE only coming from one camp.

Hillary won the Dem nomination in 2014 by a wide margin. A candidate would do well

Actually, no. Bernie calls any fact checking on him that doesn't flatter him "attacks."

Bernie Sanders's "personal" attacks are attacks on rich people who deserve it.
