Yang, who is running for mayor of New York City, is treated far more favorably these days, but he once accused MSNBC of exhibiting a &#8220;systemic bias&#8221; against him during his run for president and briefly boycotted the network.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;MSNBC is trying to suppress and minimize my campaign because there are certain other candidates that they might favor,&#8221; Yang told <em>Politico<\/em> in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>During the primary, Yang was routinely omitted from MSNBC graphics depicting the latest poll results, even though he often polled higher than such rivals as Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand (D., N.Y.) and Amy Klobuchar (D., Minn.) and managed to stay in the race longer than then-senator Kamala Harris (D., Calif.).<\/p>\n<p>When MSNBC did cover Yang, he was repeatedly misidentified, once as &#8220;John Yang&#8221; and once when the network&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.inquisitr.com\/5835752\/msnbc-andrew-yang-billionaire\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">appeared to mistake<\/a> him for a Japanese billionaire.
