The top fundraisers for Clinton include lobbyists who serve the parent companies of CNN and MSNBC.
The National Association of Broadcasters, a trade group that represents the television station industry, has lobbyists who are fundraising for both Clinton and Republican candidate Marco Rubio.
Presidential campaigns are obligated by law to send the Federal Election Commission a list of lobbyists who serve as bundlers, collecting hundreds of individual checks on behalf of a candidates campaign.
CNNs parent company, Time Warner, is represented on Capitol Hill by Steve Elmendorf, an adviser to Clinton during her 2008 campaign, who is also known as one of Washingtons top lobbyists. Hes lobbied on a number of issues important for media companies like CNN, including direct-to-consumer advertising policy...

I just don't want to give their unethical actions traffic.
It often amuses me how many Hillary supporters try to project hate and anger on to me while I'm smiling. I'm sorry people who think in those terms so often.

Isn't that interesting? It lends further credence to the Sanders campaign's allegation that Bernie supporters were not treated fairly by the NV Democratic Party.
I hope this gets wider attention so that more people will understand what's going on in the Democratic Party.

Two primaries, eight years apart, same concept. It's not about the good of the Party.

(20,411 posts)How boorish and bullying bs-supporters are
senz
(11,945 posts)for bothering you. But this thread is about the NV Democrats putting up a list of anti-Bernie Sanders videos -- negative propaganda against Bernie Sanders.
So the entity that calls itself "NV Democratic Party," is doing this. Which means a state Democratic Party is putting out a series of propaganda statements against a prominent Democratic candidate for president.
So, if you can follow, the action being discussed here is indeed boorishness and bullying but it is on the part of the NV Democratic Party.
The Sanders campaign is not putting up attack videos. The NV Democrats are.
It makes THEM look bad. Very bad.

(20,411 posts)It clearly states the intent is to make sander's supporters look violent - not Bernie himself.
See how I did that without any personal insults?

(11,945 posts)It is designed to tarnish his image with voters. It's how your candidate, with her Brockian/ Rovian tactics, rolls. Here's how it works:

The nonstop lies about Bernie supporters will never be forgotten.

(9,086 posts)It never was about the 2 delegates. It's about keeping control of the process. Making sure the "outsiders" don't have access to parliamentary procedure. Like asking for recorded votes instead of just yeas and nays, or asking for recounts, and voting on the rules.
