An excellent exploration of NYT reporter Sydney Ember's (@melbournecoal) use of publicists and lobbyists as “sources” in attacking Sanders, by @kthalps https://t.co/8yTF0JzweG

I know we're all swimming in the same shit but in light of discussion the past couple days this warrants posting in the primary thread too

srsly just fuck the times

Back to domestic issues, Ember ended her May 23 article, “Sanders’ Education Plan Renews Debate Over Charter Schools and Segregation,” on a predictably down note:

But while the charter-school issue might be relevant in cities, Mr. Loadholt said, it was hardly top-of-mind for voters in the state’s expansive rural areas, where charter schools are rare. “To a hammer, everything is a nail,” he said. “And to Sanders, everything is an issue created by millionaires and billionaires.”

Ember describes Jarrod Loadholt as “a Democratic strategist who has worked on education policy in South Carolina.” This obfuscating description was one of the many things that led Diane Ravitch to write her blog post, “The New York Times vs. Senator Bernie Sanders. ” I’ll let Ravitch explain:

"The real stinker in the Times’ article comes at the end, where the writers quote someone unfamiliar to me. I know many education activists in South Carolina, but I have never run across Jarrod Loadholt…. I googled. He is a lawyer and lobbyist in Washington, DC, who was born in South Carolina. I can find no evidence of any involvement by him in any education issues. His specialty seems to be consumer finance. Why was he called upon to put down Senator Sanders’ factual statement that the Waltons, the DeVos family and hedge fund managers are behind the push for charter schools? Senator Sanders made his statement in South Carolina, and Loadholt was born there. South Carolina has dreadful education policy. When did Loadholt work on it and with what results? To the naked eye, he was called upon as a Beltway insider to cut Bernie Sanders down with a false statement. Shameful."

(erm that 2nd graf is Embers)

ran in the NY Times today... Bernie has been a de facto Democrat ever since he got to Congress (share with butthurt Clintonians)

Attacks on Bernie Sanders reinforce his message and worth. I've never seen such mainstream hostility to a candidate (Reagan received much kinder press). It shows how reactionary and frightened our owners are, which is both good and dangerous. The fight is just beginning.

Does that work?

man you would really think lsd would be cheaper

A little goes a long way

they should have priced everything by the wine bottle

I've been getting ripped off, I've gotta go speak to my horseshoe crab guy

Gonna buy me a gallon of Bernie piss for $13,099.

p sure that's liquor, not wine fwiw

xp

three pinocchios for bernie

Three Pinocchios and one Lampwick

I had to look up why that limoncello was so expensive and it's because it has rare diamonds on the bottle. Not the greatest example to use in a post about liquids.

yeah I saw that too but tbf it seems like the value greatly exceeds what the diamonds alone would be worth

p sure that's liquor, not wine fwiw

I'm 100% certain it's a liqueur, was just running with the measurements on the chart

The Post's anti-Sanders source could not have been more predictable.

Glenn, honest question: What type of peer-review does your "fact check" go through? The only person you could find to say Bernie was wrong is the former chief economist of a right-wing think tank that represents fast food, tobacco & alcohol interests. Why didn't you mention that? pic.twitter.com/C4jM0OTaz6

Kamala is clearly trying to clone as much of HRC's winning vacuity as she can

Yeah, that doesn't even make sense to me; Sanders did immediately endorse and campaign for Clinton.xp

"speaking up and speaking out"

Hil still can't use words without draining meaning from them

Forbes: 21% who support Bernie Sanders said they would vote for Trump over Buttigieg…also, 26% of those who support Sanders said they would vote for Trump over Warren, 18% would vote for Trump over O’Rourke, and 17% said they would vote for Trump over Harris. I don’t understand.

They like em old, white, and male

I assume there's also a contingent who see their options as Bernie or burn the world down.

xp...and don't care about tax returns, I guess.

there are similarly batty segments like this for every candidate iirc
