Al Franken has related the difficulty he had convincing Democrats and Bernie Sanders to sign on to fighting the Comcast Time-Warner merger until they determined it was beneficial to themselves to oppose it.

Do you have a source for that? I'm curious to learn more about how hard it was to convince Sanders that the merger was a bad idea.
This podcast mentions a summarized version of the story at the beginning with an impersonation. I remember another, maybe later on in the interview portion, where he explicitly called out Sanders' reluctance.
