The media is ignoring Bernie mostly because of the self fulfilling prophecy that he can't possibly win. Even Fox (a conservative mouthpiece) did a segment on his recent poll gains in Iowa and the fact that he drew the largest crowd out of any candidate in Wisconsin but said it wasn't noteworthy because everyone knows he won't actually win. The NYTimes did a profile on him that makes him come off as a radical hippie that can't possibly win. The media doesn't take him seriously.

Granted, they may be right. It's going to be hard to persuade minorities, women, and people that vote based on familiarity to choose Sanders over Clinton. But of course, a defeatist attitude isn't helping and you never know - he has a strong message and ideas that appeal to the common people.
