Bear in mind that this is the exact same strategy Obama used to defeat Hillary 8 years ago, I hate being the bringer of bad news but Sanders is already done and this is why the media (even liberal media) reports it this way.
At this point Sanders staying in the race does nothing but help Trump. Besides the obvious way, in that Sanders is attacking Hillary, but isn't going to win the nomination, the idea is that Hillary has to "go more left" for the Sanders voters - who are going to vote for Hillary already. If she actually goes more left, she risks losing voters that are in the middle. And considering she is saying things like she wants a cabinet that's at least 50% female now, Sanders has the potential to do a lot of damage here.
