76. Well then. That TOTALLY validates your rebuttal, doesn't it?

Your 'splanations always spark joy, Uncle Joe, I'll give you that.

But since you brought it up.... here's a sterling example of "Media Propaganda by Omission"

The Intercept tried to give all praise and glory to Bernie's 'blessing' as the reason that african american candidate Randall Woodfin managed to somehow, against ALL ODDS get elected mayor of a deep blue, primarily AA city, in the South, and tried to diminish his activism in the 2016 elections to his "backing" Clinton, when he was actually Hillary Rodham Clinton's Alabama state campaign lead, because acknowledging and including that inconvenient fact didn't support the Intercept editorial precept that BERNIE was actually the wellspring of any victories of progressive candidates. Especially African American ones because that proves that Bernie is very influential in persuading them to vote in their own best interests!

But I guess one appopriates validation for one's bias where one can, and the Intercept seemed to be in need of victories at that time.

Thank you for bringing "Media Propaganda by Omission" into the discussion. Aren't you glad you did?







You did pass along my love to Mikeysnot, yes?
