I think the Sanders campaign troubles brought it to the front again but the unpaid-intern issue has been around for years and has gotten a lot of traction with AOC and others speaking out about recently. That said, I don't think this will move the needle at all, but I don't think it's fake news either.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
