Andrew Yang is like Barack Obama and will be a great president.

believe he has the best brain and best ideas among the candidates to deal with all the major issues.

His idea handing out $1000 a month to all Americans over age 18 is brilliant.

I feel that that is a minimum the richest country in the world can do to her citizens.

Warren Buffet and Bill Gates will be happy to chip in some extra, I believe.

It is encouraging to see his poll numbers are rising so that he can continue to

participate in the debates to have more chances to impress voters.

He certainly can do much better job than what Donald is doing.

As one of Asians, I'm so proud of him and what he is doing against all odds.

Criticism of media coverage

On multiple occasions, Yang's campaign and supporters have criticized media outlets, such as MSNBC and CNN, for their coverage of Yang. Incidents include cases of news outlets excluding Yang from lists of 2020 Democratic candidates or skipping over mentioning Yang completely.^{[119][120][121]} On August 29, 2019, Yang supporters prompted the hashtag #YangMediaBlackout to trend on Twitter after a CNN infographic displaying the results of a poll included Democratic candidate Beto O'Rourke but not Yang, even though the poll showed Yang polling three times higher than O'Rourke. Yang supporters also criticized media outlets for providing disproportionately low coverage of Yang, pointing out that according to The New York Times, Yang has received some of the least coverage in cable news among the candidates, even though he was polling better than most of the field.^{[122][123][124]} On September 5, Yang noted on Twitter that "Sometimes honest mistakes happen. But NBC and MSNBC seem to omit me on the regular." He also provided several examples of omissions.^[125] In an evening broadcast on September 9, MSNBC misidentified him as "John Yang". The next day, Yang responded on Twitter, saying "John Yang? That's a new one".^[126] The incident prompted the hashtag #WhoIsJohnYang to trend on Twitter.^[127]

In early September, Yang's media coverage discrepancy was reported by several media outlets, including CNN.^[128] Axios noted that while Yang polling in the top six of the Democratic primary and "getting plenty of online attention", he was "being treated by the media like a bottom-tier candidate".^[129] Krystal Ball of The Hill observed that there was "a persistent pattern of ignoring Yang's candidacy" among media outlets such as CNN. Ball further noted that Scott Santens, one of Yang's supporters, "has been keeping track of the apparent slights via Twitter".^{[130](from Internet)}
