The April 29 front-page article “Sanders’s donor spigot a cash cow for consultants” helped answer the question many of us have had about where all those millions of dollars of grass-roots donations to Sen. Bernie Sanders’s (I-Vt.) campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination are going. Apparently not to building capacity for organizing, nor to bolstering the campaigns of other progressive candidates. Instead, it looks as though a considerable sum ($91 million, according to the article) has been paid to establishment media firms and consultants and to the television and radio stations placing his ads.

I guess the senator and his campaign didn’t heed the words of Gil Scott-Heron, who told us long ago that “the revolution will not be televised.”
