1. When people stop to listen to Bernie...

"When people stop to listen to Bernie, they realize that -- whether or not they agree with his ideas -- he is, without a question, an authentic voice who speaks without fear."

No one accuses Bernie of working for the corporate interests. He is a true American, one of us.

3. It is better than most. However, it does repeat the myth that Bernie proclaims himself a socialist.

It also talks about the possibility that Bernie's campaign catches on fire in terms of "by some bizarre chance." It says he can't win a general and he knows it.

So, it sounds like a "don't vote for Bernie in the primary piece," much like the DU talking points, but disguised as a pro-Bernie piece.

So far, I have not seen cnn run a single piece that is actually pro-Bernie.

Nonetheless, I am happy to see praise of Bernie. He deserves it.

4. Oh yeah?

"He can't win and he knows that." OH YEAH??????? I bet that's the reporter's conjecture, not from Bernie's mouth.

5. Bernie's friend

should know that Bernie is NOT in this race to move the war-hawk Wall Street shill to the "left"...he is in the race to win and scare the shit out of the "millionaires and billionaires"...

6. That source has the negative "he can't win" crap at the end of the article.
