Signs of desperation...

This time Huffington Post is doing the same type of misrepresentation to Bernie in the lead story "Dem divide deepens". His face is portrayed as a red color that is completely unnatural (whether it is to convey he is the devil or simply choleric to the nth degree is not clear.

...and see they form a pattern favoring one candidate, you are told to keep it to yourself or prepare to be branded a "Conspiracy Theorist."

Thank you for standing up for Truth, flor-de-jasmin!

The Huffington Post is going to profit, regardless of who wins the primary. They post horrible pics of HRC too. I just don't let them upset me...

They are just trying to sell subscriptions and get clicks.....Gotta shake it off...
