Have you noticed?

Have you noticed that when someone offers posts about Bernie, the sources all come from Vermont Newspapers and quite liberal ones I might add? When posts are made about Hillary, all the linked resources go to right wing rags like red states, national review, the blaze, Fucker Carleson's rag and the like?

It's kinda hard not to notice.

But then I suspect that a lot of the current posters here are extremely familiar with the RW sites they link to.

cite those sources here or anywhere. On Twitter, I speed up at the sight of them.

there are credited sources for BS being what he is.

At which point he jumped out of his seat, told me to go f*** myself and stormed out of the edit board meeting. OK, maybe my persistence bordered on hectoring. But I felt he ought to provide an honest answer. My suspicion was that he resented others for assuming his mantle of progressive leadership and wouldn't acknowledge them.

Who would believe anyone would say "fuck off" to a Secret Service detail? They don't even believe it but anything goes with these idiots.
