An example of the lies Sanders is trying to overcome:

BAD: An idiot wrote an opinion piece for Newsweek attacking Sanders for having views about immigration that the idiot described as “an eruption of economic illiteracy, political tribalism, xenophobic nationalism and general silliness?” Why? Because Sanders, like Clinton, believes that open borders would have bad economic consequences for the United States.

WORSE: The title Newsweek put onto the piece—“Bernie Sanders on Immigrants: Silly, Tribal, and Economically Illiterate”--was absurdly misleading. It gives the impression that Sanders describes immigrants as silly, tribal, and economically illiterate.
DESPICABLY VILE: At least someone reading the title in Newsweek might also read the opinion piece under the title and thereby discover that Sanders did not describe immigrants using these terms. But David Brock’s “Correct the Record” put out a television ad three days before the Nevada caucus that included this text:
“Bernie Sanders on Immigrants: Silly, Tribal, and Economically Illiterate” Newsweek, July 30, 2015
Anyone in Nevada seeing that ad would naturally think Sanders had described immigrants as silly, tribal, and economically illiterate. And how many of them would dig up the Newsweek hit piece to check?
This is the sort of vile dishonesty that Bernie is up against as he tries to get his message out to Latinos and blacks and other Americans.
