In reply to the discussion: Why Bernie Sanders is absolutely correct about the Washington Post -- and corporate media as a whole [View all]ehrnst
(32,640 posts)40. Bernie is angry at WaPo for reporting what his staffers said about the labor dispute.
And when he reacted to it publicly, he stepped in it, publicly criticizing his union staffers for exercizing their union-given right to talk to the press about their employment issues.
So he tries to discredit WaPo.
That looks vengeful, petty and certainly doesn't confer credibility in the reasons one criticizes the media.

I've reported on Bernie Sanders for years. A free press won't give him what he wants.

There does seem to be lots of effort against Bernie. If he is doing so bad...

Bernie is lovable, but his time has passed. No question. That doesn't mean he isn't somewhat

It's not "political-class distaste"; it's disgust for what he has done, and continues to do

So you're going to avoid the point of my post - that his remarks on WAPO echo Trumps?

But you didn't address the point of my post, which had more than one source included.

I can certainly understand the convenience of blaming the media for his poor polling.

I think I saw elsewhere that you've been "covering" Bernie for a while. Is that correct? Then...

I like it too. It's not perfect (the only journalist who is perfect is my daughter, LOL!).
