CNN: "Bernie not yet vetted" [View all]

So, last night on AC 360, John King mentioned as an aside while going over the latest Wisconsin poll that Sanders hasn't been properly vetted yet, and Anderson Cooper basically blurted out, "Yeah."
(Sorry for paraphrasing, I can't get a link.)

I was like, "Gee guys, do you job much?" WTF??

I'm just wondering if it's a case of them really thinking that Sanders is not viable and therefore not worth the effort. I would have thought that after the Michigan upset or after the recent spate of wins that there would indeed be a bit more scrutiny.

(PS. I wanted to post this on the Sanders group to get their thoughts (I also like Sanders), but I just saw that some nutjob banned me from the group for no justifiable reason and even though I've never posted there. )
