CNN screwed the pooch again.

They just did a segment on Trump's infestation in to Vermont; Bernie's home state with no mention of Bernie Sanders name.

They mentioned loyalty oaths but nothing about Trump passing out 20,000 tickets to a 1400 seat capacity venue.

They mentioned hecklers but nothing about Bernie's protesters.

They had two Republicans on to debate Trump, Cruz, Rubio and Bush no mention of Bernie, even though it was Bernie's home state.

Establishment corporate media conglomerate CNN talked about Trump and Cruz as being "anti-establishment" for several minutes but didn't mention Bernie's name.

Overall it was piss poor, sparse, one sided manipulative coverage and I use the word coverage most charitably.
