BERNIE SANDERS’ SUPPORTERS WANT TO “OCCUPY CNN:”
Protesters who “feel the Bern” are camped out in front of CNN’s headquarters in Hollywood, Florida, complaining about the lopsided coverage the network has given to Democrat frontrunner Hillary Clinton and Republican frontrunner Donald Trump.
Sanders supporters united online, using the Twitter hashtags #OccupyCNN and #BernieBlackout. Reports have estimated that over 1,000 rallied to push back against allegedly biased reporting. Online, many Sanders backers noted that Time Warner, the company which owns CNN, has contributed heavily to Clinton’s political efforts in the past.
And they certainly have a point: CNN Commentator David Gregory’s Wife Is The Attorney For Hillary’s Ex-Aides In Email Investigation.
But given the very nature of the ideology, how can you be a socialist who’s against cronyism?
