1. Because it's being used as a wedge to divide and conquer.

NO ONE in the establishment wants Bernie elected and they don't want his message to even get out. He's touched a few thousand so far, but the capitalist overlords would HATE it if he got that message out to the general populace. They would like nothing better than to mire his campaign in this faux controversy so the message fails.

That's why he's gotta keep on rolling, filling arenas, getting the message out, turning questions on faux controveries (like the absurd question he fielded from a NYT reporter about Hillary's hair of all things) back to serious issues.

So far, he's doing fine, and we need to help him by putting this shit down whenever, wherever we see it. Challenge every step of the way. Even Salon is an establishment propaganda organ to some extent, as proven by this article, which by the way they copied from altnet and just slapped a different title to.
