Look at the first paragraph in this article. I sent an email to this author correcting him.

He makes it sound like Bernie has been copying Hillary.

I think more people should do the same.
Just my two cents.

1. This sort of persistently intensifying non-reality has me seeing fire today.

I don't know how to approach this shit when it is coming full force from so many directions.

[daleanime]

2. He sure does.....

[n2doc]

3. Washington Post has been on a mission to shoot down Bernie

Won't work.

[merrily]

7. All corporate media. NYT, MSNBC, you name it.

4. I just received an email from him.

He has revised his first paragraph.

-snip-
Several readers have commented that the first paragraph of the piece was confusing. I did not mean to imply that Sanders was following Hillary's lead, which would be absurd.

I have revised the lead:

*Hillary Rodham Clinton has taken the world of politics by surprise the past couple of weeks, giving her support to the most liberal members of her party on trade, climate change and Wall Street. She has now joined her foremost competitors for the Democratic presidential nomination -- Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Martin O'Malley, the former governor of Maryland -- in signing on to the same ambitiously progressive program.*

Does that revision answer your question?

Thanks,

Max

6. Thank you!

First time ever for me to respond to an article on the Internet.
First time ever for me to contribute to a campaign.

8. I'm impressed. Makes me a sliver less cynical. However, Sanders was first (obviously--

same song since forever) and his program is more "ambitiously progressive" than all the other candidates. For instance Hillary wants a better TPP (or so she says--she negotiated it, ffs), but Sanders wants no TPP--same kinds of differences on many other issues--tuitiion at public schools, for example. So no, Hillary has not signed on to the same kind of ambitiously progressive program as Sanders and neither has O'Malley.

9. Good points!

10. I was just coming back to tell you the first paragraph sounded good to me. Now I know why!

Good job getting it changed!

13. Originally, the article made this statement:

Hillary Rodham Clinton has taken the world of politics by surprise the past couple of weeks, giving her support to the most liberal members of her party on trade, climate change and Wall Street. Her foremost competitors for the Democratic presidential nomination -- Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Martin O'Malley, the former governor of Maryland -- have now all signed on to the same ambitiously progressive program.

Now, it says:

Hillary Rodham Clinton has taken the world of politics by surprise the past couple of weeks, giving her support to the most liberal members of her party on trade, climate change and Wall Street. She has now joined her foremost competitors for the Democratic presidential nomination -- Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Martin O'Malley, the former governor of Maryland -- in signing on to the same ambitiously progressive program.

15. OMG! No wonder you were upset!

I'm so glad you emailed him and that he actually responded with a correction. That first go around was freakin' ridiculous.

[jwirr]

14. When I went in it had been changed.

[retrowire]
