MAINSTREAM MEDIA.
MAINSTREAM MEDIA. THIS IS HOLLY WHO DISCOVERED
THIS LONG LOST SHOW.
GOOD TO TALK TO YOU.
WE HAVE BEEN ANTICIPATING THIS
SEGMENT FOR QUITE SOMETIME
BECAUSE THE FOOTAGE IS SO FANTASTIC.E FOOTAGE IS SO
FANTASTIC.
HOW DID YOU COME ACROSS THIS IN
THE FIRST PLACE?
>> I HAD HEARD FROM A LOT OF
DIFFERENT PEOPLE THAT HE HAD
THIS CABLE ACCESS SHOW AND THERE
WERE SOME EPISODES AVAILABLE ONLINE.ME EPISODES AVAILABLE
ONLINE.
I REACHED OUT TO THE CHANNEL IN
EXISTENCE TODAY AND ASKED THEM
HOW WE COULD GET OUR HANDS ON
THE REST OF THE COPIES AND WE GOT THEM DIGITIZED AND THEY ARE
AVAILABLE ONLINE SO YOURE
WELCOME.

COURSE.
YOU KNOW BERNIE SANDERS NOW AND
BERNIE SANDERS IN 2016 ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL.IN 2016 ON THE
CAMPAIGN TRAIL.
WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST TAKEAWAYS
FROM THE TIME PERIOD?
>> ONE OF THE THINGS I NOTICED
IS THAT HE IS SO RELENTLESS ABOUT HIS MESSAGE NOW.TLESS
ABOUT HIS MESSAGE NOW. HE DISTILLED IT INTO WHAT HE
WANTS TO SAY.
YOU DONT GET A SENSE OF WHAT HIS PERSONALITY IS.E OF WHAT
HIS PERSONALITY IS. ON THE STUMP HE RARELY SMILES.
IN THESE EPISODES, HIS
PERSONALITY LEAKS OUT AND FOR
INSTANCE HE HAS A SENSE OF HUMOR
WHICH HE SAW ON THE CLIPS.
THAT REALLY DOESNT COME OUT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL AND NOWADAYS
IT.
IT.
HE TALKS AT LENGTH WITH THINGS LIKE FOREIGN POLICY AND IN 2016
HE WAS CRITICIZED AS BEING A
LIGHTWEIGHT ON INTERNATIONAL
AFFAIRS.
HERE HE WAS IN THE 1980s OBSESSED WITH FOREIGN POLICY TO
A DEGREE THAT SEEMED ODD FOR A
MAYOR.
HE IS ALSO GOOD WITH KIDS.
HE IS GOOD WITH OLDER PEOPLE.
IT SHOWED ME A LITTLE BIT MORE OF WHO HE WAS. LITTLE BIT MORE
OF WHO HE WAS. THAT IS SOMETHING A LOT OF
PEOPLE ARE NOT ABLE TO SEE.
>> ONE OF THE THINGS IN SEEING THE CLIPS, HIS PERSONALITY SEEMS
TO COME THROUGH AND YOU DONT
NECESSARILY SEE THAT WHEN YOU
SEE BERNIE SANDERS ON THE
CAMPAIGN TRAIL.
ITS ACCURATE ON YOUR PART.
HOW DO YOU THINK SANDERSS
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE MEDIA
CHANGED?
>> I THINK THAT ACTUALLY PRETTY
STEADY OVER THE YEARS.
HE HAS FOR A LONG TIME WHICH YOU
SEE IN THE 1980s CLIPS HAD AN
ANALYSIS OF MEDIA, CORPORATE
CONTROL, CORPORATE OWNERSHIP
WORKS THE MEDIA. HE HAS THAT TODAY AND WHEN I
TALKED TO VERMONT REPORTERS
INCLUDING SOME WHO KNEW HIM BACK
THEN, THEY SAID HE IS SOMETIMES
STANDOFFISH WITH THEM.
HE HASNT SPOKEN TO THEM OR DONE
INTERVIEWS WITH THEM AFTER
CRITICAL STORIES.
CRITICAL STORIES.
WE SEE THAT NOWADAYS IN THE
