They are trashing a great and honorable artist and calling him a liar without any evidence and with no motive other than a candidate's fear of losing. McCarthy would be proud.

is famous for his civil rights photos

So they failed to even consider the artist, they did not ask him about his work nor did they hesitate to treat him as if he was without reputation and some sort of an agenda mongering hack. It's revolting. It's bias.

He was the official photographer for the SNCC.

Sally Cook, the retired government lawyer University of Chicago alumni who contacted the University of Chicago archives to get the caption of the photo changed, conceded to Time magazine reporter Sam Frizell that she could not "say for certain the man is not Sanders."

So what made it so important to her that she felt she needed to change the caption in order to identify the individual at a 40+-year-old sit in as some long dead acquaintance rather than as Bernie Sanders?

Who then told Sam Frizell, Time magazine's Clinton pool reporter, about this trifling photo flap? What induced Sam Frizell to devote 1000 words to this complete non-story without making any attempt to contact the original photographer?

What then induced the WaPo's Jonathan Capehart, the live in partner of a rich Clinton campaign staffer, to pick up this complete non-story and spin it into a direct attack of Sanders' integrity without making any attempt to contact the original photographer?

Why did corporate cable news then trot out Capehart on 10 different shows to promulgate this complete non-story?

Just jaw droppingly blatant.

That is such a ridiculous question to ask. Looking at these photos and from my own experience how the fuck does anyone ever know all the photos taken of them? I was sent photos by my cousin of "myself" that were taken 40 years ago. I wasn't aware that they were being taken but the person who took them knew it was me.

On Thursday, a Sanders spokesman said the candidate was sure he was the person in the photo. “I showed Bernie the picture again. That’s him. He remembers Bruce Rappaport,” wrote spokesman Michael Briggs in an email.

This photographer, if he really is one...who can say, is just misrepresentating the truth to be relevant again.

Greater minds than ours, with airtight political connections, have explained that there's just so much being printed in black and white right now (what color is slander) to put in doubt that this photographer... potentially even Bernie Sanders actually exist.

Wouldn't it be better to just settle for incrementalism anyway; since who knows if this Sanders marionette is really just a thrall of the corporate establishment and trying to pull a fast one on us?


Think about it.
