It's not big news to me... I'm intimately aware of CWA...

But, it IS big news to the media.

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is set to pick up one of his biggest endorsements yet Thursday from the powerful Communications Workers of America union, sources told NBC’s Andrea Mitchell.

The group represents some 700,000 workers nationally, making it by far the largest union to back Sanders yet. CWA’s endorsement, which will be announced at a press conference at 11:00 a.m. Thursday at the union’s headquarters in Washington, comes as Sanders has lost out on a string of major union endorsements to Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, whose campaign now claims the support of unions representing 12 million workers.

Even MSNBC has to recognize at this point it cannot keep on ignoring him.

The blackout is with the early-evening broadcast network shows (ABC World News Tonight, CBS Evening News, NBC Nightly News).

Bernie also put this on blast via emailing his millions of supporters, who happened to be part of MSNBC's target audience. (For now, at least, Democrats are MSNBC's target audience.) There have been other stories about how media has been covering Bernie either poorly or not at all. However, the Tyndall Report put it numbers that cannot be denied. 20 seconds by one network for Bernie's primary run is unintentional? Come on now!

I posted elsewhere that Joe Scarborough's crew announced that story the other day and said Sanders really should be getting more coverage, based on his poll numbers. Of course, there are so many other reasons he should have been getting more coverage all along, but I'll take what I can get.

Because yes, they cannot ignore Bernie forever. There has to be a point where he will get good coverage. Its a matter of when.
