1. Good for Warren. Warren has conducted her campaign

with great dignity and decorum. She never whines or complains about Trump's personal attacks on her. I'm very impressed with how much she has improved as a campaigner in the last 7 months or so. Her rise in the polls is a tribute to her focus on her goals and her ability to broaden her base.

Liz isn't my first choice but if she's the nominee, I'd be proud to support her.

2. Yes, Senator Warren has.. and I appreciate

that her camp is calling out the ridiculous accusation that Bezos influences the reporting at WaPo.

6. That's what this country needs in response to DT, not more demonization of the free press. (nt)

[comradebillyboy]

7. Yes, I find Sanders attacks on the press to be

quite disturbing.

[Amimnoch]

32. Really.. he might as well be screaming "fake news" in solidarity with Trump.

More opposed to him having any viability as our candidate and representative for the Presidency than ever.

[Cha]

3. Kick for Elizabeth's Camp!

[sheshe2]

4. Excellent!

[Cha]

8. Right.. they didn't have to do

that, she.. but they did!

And, I think it's very important to call out something so ridiculous that he ends up walking it back 2 days later.

Mahalo, she!

[lapucelle]

26. Imagine having Nina, Sirota, BrieBrie, DrDooleyMD,

Alternet, Common Dreams, Jacobin, The Intercept, and Matt Taiibi advancing the narrative that you can't trust CNN, MSNBC, NYT, and WaPo.

[Cha]

28. It's Bizarre, lapucelle!.. And, should be called out

Consistently.

I don't much like m$$media... but I absolutely abhor those who pushed jill stein while making up shite about Hillary in the General Election. They lost any cred they had.. if ever.

Mahalo!

31. +1,000,000

[Cha]

48. Thank you!

[ehrnst]

5. What a confident, informed and thoughtful candidate sounds like.

[Cha]

9. So true, ehrnst!

Thank You!

[Hortensis]

10. And what an honest candidate of integrity and principle looks like.

[Cha]

13. Right.. not blaming anything

on Jeff Bezos!

Mahalo, Hortensis!

[highplainsdem]

11. K&R! Thanks, Cha! Great response from the Warren camp.

[Cha]

15. Mahalo for kicking, highplainsdem!

It's important to note that Senator Elizabeth Warren stands up for Jeff Bezos for not interfering with the WaPo.

12. Warren is authentic, intelligent, ethical.

[Cha]

16. How perfectly Refreshing

after all the

[betsuni]

23. It sure is.

She wants to get down and do the work to solve problems, not waste time creating evil mustache-swirling oligarchs who are out to get you.

[Cha]

24. Exactly, betsuni.. You may have seen this but it's worth repeating..

Wild guess!

[betsuni]

25. Thanks, I hadn't seen that.

What's funny is seeing the "elite media pundits" of the "corporate media conglomerate" trashed but when there's an article they like it's "How dare you question this Pulitzer Price winning investigative journalist of the distinguished 'newspaper of record' The New York Times."

[Cha]

27. Which reminds me.. Why is the media so AFRAID of Joe Biden?!!

The Double Standard is ludicrous! And, fooling no one.

[betsuni]

29. As our last presidential candidate got 64% negative press in the general election,

they must have been TERRIFIED of her too.

[Cha]

17. Mahalo, brer!

[TSIAS]

18. Media bias is a myth

We should all agree that networks like FOX News and MSNBC are reliably fair in their coverage. I doubt Jeff Bezos cares anything about making money.

[Cha]

19. Your post has nothing to do with

the Warren camp's tweet.

Elizabeth Warren is distinguishing herself from BS' campaign.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

21. Lol.

IKR?

[Cha]

35. No.. not even close.

[Cha]

20. Kick for Warren's Camp!

[Vegas Roller]

22. K&R - well researched post nt

34. Mahalo, Vegas!

36. Warren distinguishes herself

from BS.

this one here..

47. No.. I'm going with Elizabeth Warren

over a BS supporter.

BS already walked it back.

[aikoaiko]

42. Thats not a clap back -- but the tweet is mediocre attempt at producing drama.

Carry on.

43. K&R

Warren is on it!
