Bernie’s Top Aide Smears BNR, Its Owners and Staff (Hilary Clinton Group)

http://bluenationreview.com/bernies-top-aide-smears-bnr/

The Daily Beast just published a poorly researched hit job on this site under the guise of an investigative story. And it is more than just an inaccurate, unsupported attack piece. The Daily Beast provides a forum for Tad Devine, Bernie Sanders’s top aide, to slander the site, its owners and staff without an iota of evidence to back up his insults.

Neither Devine nor The Daily Beast can point to a single factual error or inaccuracy in BNR’s reporting.

The title of the Daily Beast story suggests that the site’s owners/editors are “hit men for Hillary” simply because of their years of strong advocacy for the first woman president.

Got that? If you support Hillary and criticize her opponents, then you’re a “hit man.” But all the media outlets that attack Hillary relentlessly do it for valid reasons.

People are generally socially aware enough not to say obviously sexist things, but sexism is there in many instances.

Obviously people can disapprove of some of the President's actions and positions for reasons other than racism, and likewise people can take issue with Clinton's positions and actions for reasons other than sexism. But if we were to say that means that there is no racism or sexism, we would be DEAD WRONG. The level of emotionality is one major indicator.

Or at least that's what I've heard from Sanders supporters.
