Jose Vargas on MSNBC: I knew it would take a negative slant towards Sanders or his supporters.

He was the guy at Netroots, interviewing Bernie who kept looking at his cellphone and hammering Bernie for a soundbite - "I made a mistake on voting for that bill." A recurring theme I've seen throughout this election cycle. Always hammering for that sound bite.

They really want to silence the Bernie supporters into not speaking out against the lies and smears and they use race to do it. That is extremely screwed up.

You don't think Hillary supporters complain when they think the media is being unfair to her? Let's face it the media is really bad.

I'm going to say what I think. Truth doesn't turn off people who have some integrity, and the ones who don't are not worth getting.
