Chris Cuomo: 'We' in the Media Encouraged Sanders to Fight 'Centrist' Clinton (NewsBusters)

Reacting to a new CNN poll finding Hillary Clinton's poll numbers slipping, New Day's Chris Cuomo admitted to journalistic boosting of Bernie Sanders. The anchor insisted, "We, and a lot in the media, were encouraging of Bernie Sanders getting in the race because the senator from Vermont does provoke a lot of passion from the left part of that party."

Apparently speaking for the media at large, Cuomo proclaimed, "We thought that that would be an interesting mix of ideas because, certainly, the Clintons are more known for the centrism that they present to the Democrats." Co-anchor Alisyn Camerota lectured, "It's fun to have a lot of people in the race for the media to cover."
