What about a party's media apparatus that seems to skew toward attacking a given candidate disproportionately - recalling after NV win Chuck Todd calling his supporters "brownshirts", Chris Matthews talking about getting lined up and shot, etc. Is this part of normal democracy?

I say this as a Warren supporter, they made Warren look like she had much more of a chance than she actually did too

yeah, the main media bias is in favor of conflict and excitement.

Bernie got substantially less coverage than a comparable candidates with his polling position get; what he got was more critical than what a candidate with more elite-acceptable views get BUT, neither gap was anywhere near what the media inflicted on Hillary in the 2016 general

The two classic examples of the media going to the mattresses to bias an electorate are 2000 (to benefit bush over gore) and 2016 (to benefit Trump over Clinton). Bernie’s adverse media coverage (and buttigieg’s friendly coverage)? Politics ain’t beanbag.
