BREAKING NEWS – Montpelier, Vermont – In a sympathetic interview taped in Vermont with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow that aired on Friday night, socialist presidential contender Bernie Sanders insisted the American people are “a little bit tired of corporate media” and “we have got to think about ways that the Democratic Party, for a start, starts funding the equivalent of Fox television.”

Even The Huffington Post thought that sounded a little funny: “Of course, MSNBC is a corporate media outlet that is widely seen as a Democratic version of Fox News because of the perceived sympathies of many of its political talk shows.”

Sanders later stated that, “Even though MSNBC leans heavily left, it’s not as far left as I think they should be. Because of my socialist views of economic equality, I feel from the janitors that work there up to the on air personalities, everyone should be getting paid exactly the same.” Maddow was later overheard commenting on his statement, “that he is a nutty old man that’s obviously in the early stages of dementia.”
