What's up with CNN? They're giving Bernie a buzz.....

Just mentioned that he was an unknown facing the most famous woman politician and is
within a statistical tie in Iowa. Like, "Who is this guy?". Wow. We knew he was popular, but
it seems the MSM is just catching on. GO BERNIE!

but were told to ignore him. Well, look at him now.

As Bernie indicated on day 1: "We're in this to win. DO NOT underestimate him or his message"

It's almost showtime folks.

Almost.

I think the political establishment has come to the realization that Hillary can't win the nomination. And if she somehow wins the nomination she cannot win the general.

they know they can't complete ignore bernie whenever he is not appearing on CNN when he is poised to win both Iowa and NH.
CNN likes ratings,and if they ignore the dem primary race like they have it will hurt them.

...Murray will not only characterize Bernie in a negative way, he'll act as if Bernie is no threat and will dismiss him as a non-factor.

We'll see in a minute...

Meanwhile, here's a sample of Mark Murray's (w/ Craig Melvin) work: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251934761

Craig Melvin just said that Bernie is 4 points behind Hillary in NH. SMH.
