Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders speaks out on Obama’s budget (see video)

In a brief respite from the PBS NewsHour’s tedious hammering of those “entitlements”  - especially Social Security and Medicare - Judy Woodruff was visibly shaken during her interview with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who hit her with the facts about Social Security a week or two ago. 

The NewsHour staff, in its attacks on the self-funded Social Security program apparently fear that if they don’t pull the rug out from under America’s seniors, their government subsidy will be cut, then they’ll have to rely solely on their big corporate underwriters, e.g., oil companies, Toyota, etc. and their generous donors, long deluded into believing the NewsHour provides objective and balanced news coverage.

You can watch Woodruff’s interview with Sen. Sanders, an independent who caucuses with the Democrats here.
