[See NewsBusters for more.] Socialist Bernie Sanders, who has decried millionaires for years, is a millionaire That revelation was ignored by the ABC and NBC morning shows, despite a combined four hours of air time on Wednesday. Only CBS This Morning noticed, offering a scant 49 seconds to the awkwardness of the very wealthy Sanders. CBS guest co-host Anthony Mason explained, “Senator Bernie Sanders said he is a millionaire.  In an interview with the New York Times, the Democratic presidential candidate says his 2016 book Our Revolution pushed him into the ranks of high earners as it entered the New York Times bestseller list.”  Highlighting a perceived hypocrisy, Mason added, “The Vermont senator denounced millionaires for years.”
