Sale Of Blue Nation Review Gives Hillary Clinton Camp Its Very Own Media Outlet

WASHINGTON — Hillary Clinton ally David Brock is acquiring a media outlet, sources involved in the negotiation and sale of the site tell The Huffington Post.

True Blue Media, a newly formed company incorporated by Brock, has acquired progressive news website Blue Nation Review. BNR’s previous owner, MOKO Social Media Limited, will retain a 20 percent stake in the new entity while Brock will hold the remaining 80 percent equity balance. The sale was finalized Monday night.

Peter Daou, digital media strategist for Clinton’s 2008 campaign, will serve as the new CEO of True Blue Media.

BNR is best known for exposing the lavish spending habits of former Rep. Aaron Schock (R-Ill.), ultimately leading to his resignation. The outlet is run by Jimmy Williams, a longtime regular on MSNBC and a veteran political operative, who will remain at BNR.

Start looking at the source for Clinton supporters' wild news articles.

I suspected one of the clintonites here was a Correct the Record troll and their link went right to BlueNationReview.

Is a war with Iran imminent under Hillary Clinton as president

Hillary has threatened to nuke Iran(and South Asia). And, she threatened to attack Iran many other times - as late as October 2015. She said if she were president we would go to war with Iran. Do you believe that if Hillary Clinton is president, a war with Iran is imminent?

"In 2008, she promised if elected president to “obliterate” Iran if it attacked Israel—even if the United States was unthreatened and Congress had not authorized war: “I want the Iranians to know, if I am the president, we will attack Iran... And I want them to understand that... we would be able to totally obliterate them [to retaliate for an attack on Israel].”

Jane Sanders: No back tax returns until Clinton releases Wall Street transcripts

Source: CNN


Washington (CNN) — Bernie and Jane Sanders won't release their back tax returns until Democratic rival Hillary Clinton releases the transcripts of her Wall Street speeches, Jane Sanders said Tuesday afternoon.

Bernie Sanders has repeatedly called on the Clinton campaign to release her speeches in an effort to show she's aligned with powerful Wall Street interests.



But he has been slow to answer Clinton's demand to release his tax returns, saying in a CNN debate earlier this month that his wife handles their financial affairs and has been too busy campaigning. The Sanders made public their 2014 return the next evening, showing they earned nearly $206,000 and paid about $28,000 in federal taxes that year.

Debbie Wasserman Shultz - a little more information

I remember well, how when Hillary Clinton was a senator she and Pelosi would repeatedly give lip service to the Dems then cave to the Republicans and vote their way. What I didn't know was Debbie Wasserman Shultz was in that shite too. This one came after Hillary left the Senate:

"Today, the House passed the 2014 Farm Bill 251 to 166.

162 Republicans voted for it. 63 voted against it.

103 Democrats voted against it. 89 voted for it.

The Farm Bill contains $8.7 billion in cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), commonly known as food stamps. This translates to a $90 per month cut to beneficiaries. This cut follows November's $5 billion cut from the program, the "hunger cliff" that the Democrats themselves created.

The deal also restricts the USDA from "advertising the SNAP program through , radio and billboard advertisements."

Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, and Debbie Wasserman Schultz all voted for the bill.

What do you feel will happen if Trump is elected president?

posted to the African American Group:

He scares me like hitler. But, I'm here to ask what you guys think.

I am white so only know what the white community thinks - and frankly a lot of them scare me when they dismiss his racial threats.

Clinton’s Digital Task Force Breaks Barriers To Defend Her Donors

The super political action committee, Correct The Record, which has direct ties with Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s campaign, launched a “digital task force” to push out “positive content” and respond to “negative attacks” and “false narratives” spread within “online progressive communities.” The super PAC also plans to use the “task force” to “thank” and show support for superdelegates, who the campaign contends are under attack by supporters of her opponent, Bernie Sanders.
.
.
.

The AP found “federal records, regulatory filings and correspondence showed that almost all the 82 corporations, trade associations and other groups that paid for or sponsored Clinton’s speeches have actively sought to sway the government — lobbying, bidding for contracts, commenting on federal policy and in some cases contacting State Department officials or Clinton herself during her tenure as secretary of state.”

Clinton was paid by corporations or groups with U.S. government interests 94 times. A third profited from government contracts during this same period. This opens her up to scrutiny that if she is elected president her decisions would be influenced by these corporations and groups, including those closely aligned with Wall Street.

-----------------

Also per the Article:
Correct The Record has spearheaded some of the most dishonest attacks and rumors against Sanders so far: Sanders supported Minutemen vigilantes, who tried to execute undocumented immigrants at the Mexico border, Sanders wants to “dismantle Obamacare,” Sanders planned to commit voter fraud in Iowa, Sanders opposed bailing out auto workers, and Sanders thinks gun violence is funny when the state of Vermont is directly responsible for fueling gun trafficking in New York (which is completely false).

-------------------
Now who is giving the RW fuel if a Dem candidate became president?

Wake up Hillary supporters. Unless you have the money to lobby her, she has bigger masters to support and not you or your liberal values.
