Jonathan Capehart ?@CapehartJ
Spent the day doing my job. Reporting. Getting the facts. Thinking before writing. New Bernie photo piece coming soon. Not so cut and dry.
He may want to put this on the back burner to simmer and thicken all weekend...

(154,021 posts)he should ask his photogs at the WAPO how they keep records. Might even learn something.

nadinbrzezinski
(154,021 posts)and opinion writers have a place, but not in the news side of the business.
That is the first Journo 101

(4,451 posts)I never questioned it was Bernie. The only thought that came to my mind was.."Oh! He was a good looking young man!" That's it.
edit to add... He must not have much civil rights work if he has to go back to the 60's to add it to his current resume

(12,685 posts)believe that people that engage in such b.s should be ridiculed.
dchill
(38,505 posts)If he doesn't retract, he deserves more than ridicule.
nadinbrzezinski
(154,021 posts)opinion writers are not supposed to make the paper look bad.
Skwmom
(12,685 posts)should be discussed in a class on journalistic ethics and how not to conduct yourself.
nadinbrzezinski
(154,021 posts)And they are discussed in news rooms.
dchill
(38,505 posts)It might even be actionable.
nadinbrzezinski
(154,021 posts)mostly the subject of this makes his life in the public eye... though the photog might have some grounds since he is a private person.

(8,090 posts)It's hard to believe that paper actually brought down a President. Now it's been reduced to the hard-hitting investigative journalism of... Jonathan Capehart.

(3,366 posts)Try a little research and find the piece I wrote tonight about the pic. Takes more than 2 secs to read it tho.
West Coast late read 2: Stop sending around this photo of Bernie Sanders.
All of you who think this is Bernie Sanders are wrong.
Stop sending around this photo of Bernie Sanders.
92% of NH voters who want honest candidate voted for Sanders. So why does he continue to use this photo?
Stop physically placing Sanders where he only existed in spirit.
Thats not Bernie Sanders in the photo, y'all keep sending around. It is Bruce Rappaport.
Bernie Sanders's questionable photo bomb.
Unlike you, I don't have the luxury of senselessly popping off. My folo-up is forthcoming.
Whats at issue is Sanderss misleading use of a photograph to burnish already solid credentials.
This is not Bernie Sanders.
Quite the crazy day. I've intrvu'd ex-wife of Bruce Rappaport AND the photographer of the disputed "Sanders" photo. Now transcribing.
dchill
(38,505 posts)A screed.
