Will the same big media companies that destroyed Howard Dean right after he made the same announcement come up with an equivalent of the 'Dean Scream' to destroy Bernie? - The Youngstown newspaper just failed. How will anyone keep up with the gutting of America as Republicans pack our courts and monkey wrench our regulatory agencies?
