Personally...I think that the Sanders campaign is trying to use a Trump-esque strategy? Since Trump made similar demands(Whether it was 'I don't want this moderator' or 'If you want me to debate, donate an X amount of money) so it's harrowing to see this come out of the Sanders campaign.
This is also coming after they agreed to give his campaign more control over the committee, so this isn't the first demand the Sanders campaign is making.
Update: Rachel Maddow just reported that the Sanders campaign has demanded that Governor Malloy of Connecticut and Barney Frank be removed from their positions as chairs of the Platform and Rules committees at the convention because they won’t be fair enough to Sanders. If the DNC does not give in to this demand, the Sanders campaign has announced that it will use all procedural means to grind the Convention to a halt.
Here is the letter Bernie sent to the DNC

You can tell that Maddow who has been at least relatively kind to Sanders if not supporting him early on has soured so significantly on him.
She's a professional but imo you can feel the disgust she has for what's going.
