The Hillary camp wants to use the NY Daily News to bring down Bernie. THIS NY Daily News?

?w=590&h=738





The Hillary camp wants to bring down Bernie by using a TABLOID. Isn't it funny how the Trump campaign is doing the same thing with Cruz - except in that case it's the National Enquirer.

The Clinton campaign must think we have a short memory.

FYI, I wouldn't consider myself a "Bernie fanatic." I will admit to be a "Beatles fanatic" in the 1960's, but I like Bernie because he's running on what is possible rather than the status quo. Aim high, don't tread water.

Every time you look below the surface, you see there's nothing there. In this one, predictably, Bernie was right, the editors were uninformed:

Did Bernie blow the Interview, or NYDN Editors simply not understand the issue?

She's all image, no substance.

....this isn't one of their trashy articles with dubious sources.

The publication has furnished a word for word record of every question the editorial board asked Bernie and every response Bernie provided to those questions. There is none of the normal "funny business" usually associated with the publication.

But it isn't the tabloid's reporting that is important here. Every major NY media source, most of them very well respected, have picked up on the story and are publishing selected segments of the interview, such as Bernie answers on how he he would break up the big banks, along with scathing comments indicating that he isn't ready for prime time. That's what has to have Bernie's campaign worried, and with good reason.

83. Not concerned at all - she doesn't have to win 57% of vote in the remaining contests...

in order to draw even with her opponent. She is not behind, in some cases way behind, in the polls in those contests. She doesn't have worry about the super delegates taking the nomination away from her if she wins the majority of pledged delegate. She doesn't have to worry because she didn't show her ignorance of the issues on which she has built her campaign in front of the nasty NY media. She doesn't have the victims of Sandy Hook accusing her of favoring gun manufacturers over their rights to address their grievances.

Especially those tp'ing the walls with some of the most disgusting sources out there while spewing vile excuses about context. Context isn't very reliable when it's vomitted forth from the bowels of Republicans.

But it's good to see that some folks are finally waking up and giving a shit. I look forward to you taking your fellow Bernie supporters to task.
