CNN’s John Berman just wanted a coffee mug. The “Early Start” anchor went out on a limb recently, taking his fight for mug equality to social media, launching the #MugsNow campaign, which went viral on Berman’s CNN computer.
Now, the mugs are in–but Berman appears to have ranked rather low on the distribution list. CNNers including Christiane Amanpour, Peter Hamby, and Michaela Pereira tweeted photos to Berman flaunting their new “Early Start” mugs:
