HARLOW: All right. So this is surprising, to me at least. Senator Bernie Sanders is going after The Washington Post this morning, specifically their coverage of his campaign. The newspaper is not taking it. Listen to the criticism levied by Sanders just yesterday in New Hampshire.</s>SEN. BERNIE SANDERS (D-VT), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Anybody here know how much Amazon paid in taxes last year? I talk about that all of the time and then I wonder why The Washington Post, which is owned by Jeff Bezos who owns Amazon, doesn't write particularly good articles about me. I don't know why.</s>HARLOW: Well, those and past comments by Sanders and his campaign prompted this reply by Marty Baron, the executive editor of The Post, quote, Senator Sanders is a member of a large club of politicians of every ideology who complain about their coverage contrary to the conspiracy theory the senator seems to favor. Jeff Bezos allows our news room to operate with full independence and our reporters and editors can attest to that. Dana Bash, our Chief Political Correspondent, is here with me, Chris Cillizza, CNN Politics Reporter and Editor at Large is here. So, Cillizza, I remember Nixon in the White House on the phone saying no more reporters from The Washington Post.</s>DANA BASH, CNN CHIEF POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT: Exactly. You read about it and heard about it. You weren't there.</s>HARLOW: I wasn't there. I am old enough to have watched it.</s>BASH: There you go.</s>HARLOW: Thanks, Dana, making me feel young this morning.</s>BASH: You're welcome.</s>HARLOW: But, Cillizza, but in not a joking manner here, you worked there. I mean, this is a very serious claim against The Washington Post with no evidence, and it is echoing what the president says.</s>CHRIS CILLIZZA, CNN POLITICS REPORTER AND EDITOR AT LARGE: Yes. It's a ridiculous claim. If you condemn Donald Trump for saying Amazon, Washington Post, you need to condemn Bernie Sanders for. END
