(1,779 posts)used to consider him very right wing come about five years ago.
But whatever his politics are, he's a jerk. (Apologies to jerks everywhere.)

(39,451 posts)I just sent her a tweet (not that she will care) telling her I am still waiting for an apology for her swiftboating of Sanders.
Fuck msnbc!! Turn on CNN instead. At least there they do give Bernie equal time & deal in facts the majority of the time.

(23,156 posts)Bernie. He IMMEDIATELY gets back with the facts whenever anyone tries to do so, unlike Kerry, who let crap build and build until it was too late.
Time to retire the meme of swiftboating, at least in reference to Bernie.

(2,983 posts)The picture has been proven to have actually been... of Bernie Sanders. In other words... Capehart was wrong, Capehart LIED, regardless of whether or not he knew the truth at the time, he should have been damned diligent in his investigation if he was going to make assertions that the person in the photo was NOT Sanders. They all should have been. Now they are refusing to back away from their claims even though they have been PROVEN to be wrong?
Yep... swiftboating, once again, yet this time from the supposedly "liberal media"... MSNBC. You know, whichever candidate we support, the truth is the damned truth.

(140 posts)If the info in the video is true, then he is in a relationship with a HRC staffer. This changes his motive from political to personal. He was, logically, running this hit job on the intended gain of his partner. The chance for his partner to get a position within her administration and the chance for advancement beyond that. In that case, he was doing it for money. Personally. That is pretty vacant. He was not putting his belief in Hillary, he was hoping that he could personally gain from this. What a maroon!

(1,061 posts)Yeah, somehow. Way to gloss over how you found out about a change in a 40-year-old caption.
A useful idiot, not a journalist.

(4,280 posts)MSNBC has only become worse since being bought by Comcast. But, our media is Corporate, so what else can we expect until we do something about it. Let the Revolution begin. I'm serious, guys. It's been going on for too long. Makes me mental!
And thank you leftcoastmountains.
