A CNN editorial insider, who wished to remain anonymous told us, “In truth, Sanders still has a great chance to win the nomination. He’s doing well in Iowa and New Hampshire, and a win in either or both of those states could give him the momentum he needs to ride all the way, and he beats every Republican in the polls with a higher margin than Hillary. We hope our announcement will discourage people to get out and vote — having an old Jewish guy in the White House who’s honest, treats everyone with respect, and works tirelessly for the people would be great for America, but good God, it would destroy our ratings.”

When asked about the CNN announcement, Sander’s campaign staffer Rashad Williams responded, “Well it’s good news and bad news. The good news is that this is the first on-air mention we’ve had in 3 weeks. The bad news is that this may discourage people to come out and vote. In truth however, most of Bernie’s supporters are young people, and I don’t think they’d watch CNN on a dare.”
