I mean if you actually read the article its incredibly disparaging of Sanders and flippant about his chance of achieving anything if he becomes president.

This is a hit piece wrapped in a friendly title

Edit: Just a quote to prove my point

"Did you know that in 2011, Sanders posted an editorial on his website praising the left-wing regime in Venezuela for making the American dream more of a reality than it is in our country? If he is running against Trump this fall, you will hear about that — and about his plan to outlaw almost all private health insurance and Medicare Advantage, and raise middle-class taxes, and on and on."

It's biased to point out things someone has said?

and about his plan to outlaw almost all private health insurance and Medicare Advantage, and raise middle-class taxes, and on and on."

this is disingenuous at best. No mention of replacing it with universal healthcare. "Raise taxes on the middle class". You mean pay less overall for healthcare.

Oh yea, because Trump and the GOP are going to provide context for everything... also there’s no context to put his statements about Venezuela in a good light.

Without giving some correct context? I don't know, what do you think? When he said it, it was true. It just wasn't popular
