Are you kidding me? CM is so against Bernie, they are chomping at the bit, waiting for their next slam against him. Just because this one journalist said something good about Bernie don't mean shit. He'll probably be reprimanded. Yeah, he's right, Bernie is on fire, and no one in the CM gives a shit. I just wish I could have heard the rest of this segment, especially Anderson Cooper's comments.

and how he was taken out of Obama's admin. early on as head of the new green jobs initiative because of some earlier activity that the rabid Tea party rwingers dredged up and went hysterical over. A real shame and waste of talent.

At least he spoke up about the truth of Bernie's popularity now which might get him a flag as you say.
Van is beyond TV commenting, but guess he's doing what he needs and wants to, the money is good. Whatev.

I'd like to have heard AC's response too. It's concerning what the media can get away with now, clipping and altering tape among other manoevers. Practically anything they want. Thanks for the mediaite clip of the Maher show with Bernie last night btw.

Wiki, Van Jones

And it's still early. The movement is only going to get bigger. OWS may have been denied it's voice, but not the Sanders campaign.

I wish Van would be on here every now and them. He would have his finger on what the people are saying who have seriously, had enough.
