In reply to the discussion: The Atlantic Accused David Sirota of Secretly Working For Bernie Sanders. But Where's the Evidence? [View all]ehrnst
(32,640 posts)One of Sirotas fellow bashers of the Democratic party.
Walter Bragman: author of "Bernie Sanders: In His Own Words: 250 Quotes from America's Political Revolutionary" (non-disclosure that they wrote a book who's targeted sales to an audience that supports Sanders indicates a disregard - like Sirota's- for that basic tenet of ethical, credible reporting. If he had said, "In the interest of disclosure, I authored "Bernie Sanders: In His Own Words: 250 Quotes from America's Political Revolutionary" that would indicate that he was confident enough in their claims on their own merit, and he transparent and self-aware of a possible bias or financial stake in Sanders' popularity. But he didn't.)
On the staff of the Intercept, which has a long history of disparaging and trashing the Democratic party, which David Siorta, who he is defending also does. Would you give a lot of credence to a piece refuting reports of Jared Kushner not being approved by State Department for the clearance that he has, from a staff writer for the National Review or who someone wrote a book titled" "Donald Trump: In His Own Words: 250 Quotes from America's Political Hero" and didn't bother to mention that in the piece?
Also contributes to The Hill.
Also completely dismissive of the role of Russia in the 2016 election outcome - which is something that also supports a narrative that the stealing of the Oval Office from the elected Demcoratic candidate entirely a Democratic Party failure because they didn't choose Bernie as a candidate.
