I think he was half right. Our for-profit capitalist media has done Bernie Sanders dirty over the last 20 years so I don't trust them to be fair and objective towards any 3rd party environmentalist groups that would potentially put sustainability before profits. Dont get me wrong, I think Jill Stein is a Russian sponsored spoiler candidate, but I think the media would shit on her even if her campign was sincere.
If we had a party that was legitimately dedicated to environmental justice AND we had a political system that allowed minority parties to participate, then yeah, that would be a real threat and the media would be martialled against it.
But I just don't see how the media reaction to third parties matters. Non-ranked voting, non-proportional voting and the electoral college structurally forbid minor parties from being anything but a spoiler.
