Though Bernie Sanders supporters have long suspected Hillary-CNN collusion designed to undermine the Democratic rival, is this the final straw?

A segment airing yesterday suggested Arizona Senator John McCain is “feeling the Bern” after the Republican offered some praise for his longtime Vermont colleague.



“He’s an honest man and his word is good,” McCain said, “Once we reached an agreement, that agreement stuck.”

While that might seem a far cry from outright endorsement, CNN ran with it, calling McCain-Sanders “the new political odd couple.”

In reaction to the segment, Sanders supporters are seeing red, calling it a “smear attempt” because they are apparently no fans of McCain.

“Equating Bernie Sanders with John McCain is a classic corporate media false equivalence. Bernie is superior on 99% of issues,” said one supporter. “WTF is this CNN? They’re even not trying anymore,” added another.

“These two men who are in different parties who actually worked together to help veterans were just called grumpy old men. F-ck You CNN﻿,” said a Bernie backer using the handle Mars_vzx.

Adding further insult to injury, CNN labeled both “grumpy old senators”, in a way that must surely please Hillary’s campaign.
