I saw that post and thought that something smelled.

"August 2014, it announced it was becoming a for-profit news site.[3]"

Oh great...talk about one slimy site...we can now add that to a list of non-credible sources.

I'll just toss this in here because I never got around to posting it this past week...flipped on MSNBC just as someone was introducing a "guest"...some guy that was introduced as "the Head Scholar at the American Enterprise Institute"...

was from the Heritage Foundation. I don't think it should have
been locked. People need to be able to knock that sort of accusation
down. My guess is it will pop up again. Mud slinging hasn't began yet. Can
you imagine the mud Trump is going to hurl? Also reading the comments under the article
many dispelled the accusations and defended Bernie.

These right-wing sources spit out a half-truth, and then spin and lie. That is their sop.


This is just round-one from the right-wing noise machine. When Bernie wins Iowa and New Hampshire, more and more of this kind of raw sewage is going to be dumped on him.

Autumn, thanks for locking!
