THEY "cherrypicked" what they reported.
Now for all you who are so blind:
I saw this this morning on Carol Costello's morning news program on: CNN
Not Fox News. I hate "Fox and Friends" so I was watching Carol's morning show.
SHE read that as the story. And then she interviewed Sander's head of his campaign and he wasn't happy about it either.
And while she interviewed him it had big letters underneath them saying:
Obama says Sanders is "shiny object"
I didn't cherry pick anything.
You guys are so fucking biased on everything, that you try to shoot the messenger and don't even have any discussion on why Obama is openly supporting Hillary over Sanders.
Well..the "messenger" was CNN and the head of Bernie Sander's campaign.
Now...you can all eat crow because you ran your dickskinners in total IGNORANCE. (as usual)

lol what?
One, You clearly didn't read the actual interview as I'm not sure how you could come to the conclusion that "Obama is openly supporting Hillary over Sanders'. Unless you don't know what openly actually means. But of course we're the biased ones.
Two, You posted something you saw on a talk show, and better yet something you saw on the bottom scroll. Yet then claim the media cherry picks and is 'in the pocket of the establishment'. So if you distrust the media, why blindly post what they report?
Three, According to CNN: Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver told CNN that the senator's relationship to the President is "really good."
"They are very different people, but I think in terms of what people are seeing in Iowa, I think the similarity in Iowa is this, which is large numbers of young people are being motivated to come out to the polls, a lot of non traditional voters are motivated to come to the polls," Weaver said. "I think in terms of messaging of our chief opponent that seems to be very similar and I think that's reinforcing it as well: pie in the sky proposals, wrong experience, can't do foreign policy. These are all ... the attacks from 2008 on Obama.
Also from CNN:While he offered a nuanced and expansive view on the Democratic primary, and seemed receptive to Clinton's appeal, Obama did not criticize Sanders and pointedly maintained his official neutrality.
