Joy Reid: why are black potential candidates getting singled out for attacks by Bernie people?

241. Not in the slightest.

I have no place for the kind of bogus "news" those sites propagate. All I have said here is that the linked articles that the poster above objects to are in no way "fake news" or slanted pieces, and in no way call into question the authors credibility. The author of the linked article simply links to them as evidence of the criticism these people were receiving. He links primarily to Politico and ThinkProgress, and only links one article each from the Intercept and the division of the NY Post, neither of which are factually incorrect or heavily slanted.

The poster above attempts to discredit the author (whom I know nothing of) by linking to what is basically his bio, and I dont see anything there that discredits him. Whats wrong with his list of books ? I see Orwell, Stroud, Hemingway, Galbraith, Piketty, Gibson, Fukuyama, Abbey, Lessig, Russell... how is that link used to call his character into question?

He crafted a statement of personal ethics, which is somewhat standard for a journalist, and posted it publically, thereby allowing readers to call him out when he violates those standards. How does that call his character into question?

The third linked article has no mention of him, nor any content of his. How does that link call him out ?

I dont have any dislike of any of the candidates discussed in this thread. I have tremendous respect for each of them, and support them fully. I simply disagree with the tribalistic mindset that produces a knee-jerk reaction to any and all criticism of *any* political figure, and attempts to derail discourse with unfounded accusations of bias.
