CNN Pathetically Fabricates Story Trying to Create Tension Between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders
September 5, 2015 By Allen Clifton
While things over on the Republican side of the presidential race have been an absolute circus, it’s been relatively calm for Democrats. Hillary Clinton has lost some support to Bernie Sanders over the past few weeks in some polls, but the two have been extremely respectful of one another. Both Clinton and Sanders have taken the high road when it comes to repeated attempts by the media to create some kind of negative back and forth between the two, especially trying to get Sanders to go negative on Clinton. In fact, just a couple of weeks ago he tore into a New York Times Magazine reporter for bizarrely asking him about Clinton’s hair. No, seriously – that happened.
Either way, at least so far, both campaigns have mostly focused on the issues rather than petty back and forth attacks.
Then I came across an article by CNN’s Dan Merica titled:
Clinton Dusts off 2008 Dig at Obama to Hit Sanders
The answer: No, she didn’t. Merica (or the CNN editorial team) basically just fabricated that bogus headline by cherry picking parts of Clinton’s interview with NBC News’ Andrea Mitchell.
Here’s what Clinton was asked:
Mitchell: Looking at the campaign now, you see huge crowds for Bernie Sanders – and for Donald Trump – and people talking about Joe Biden having an opening if he decides to make a difficult choice on an emotional level. They talk about how authentic these candidates are. Does it hurt you when people say you’re too lawyerly. You parse your words. You’re not authentic. You’re not connecting.
