6. To do so, we need to inoculate ourselves against "Dean Scream" style character assassinations

Because, believe me, if they can't keep Bernie quiet or render him invisible, they're going to find some sort of faux incident to ridicule or discredit him

The scream scene was shown an estimated 633 times by cable and broadcast news networks in just four days following the incident, a number that does not include talk shows and local news broadcasts. However, those who were in the actual audience that day insist that they were not aware of the infamous "scream" until they returned to their hotel rooms and saw it on TV.[52]


633 times in just four days. Just let that sink in.

Perhaps it's no coincidence that Dr. Dean was outspoken about the need to put the brakes on media consolidation.
