This guy pretended to be an objective journalist and said he didn't have a candidate preference while he was unofficially working for Bernie. That's unethical (also the guy is dumb as hell)

you seem to expect a lot more from Bernie than you other wannabe candidates? how come? Btw this journalist is a pretty good one And so what, if he supported Bernie way before Bernie was a candidate I have been following this journalist for some time now, and I would say he is fair and just (do you know those words )

Shortly before he gave speeches launching his 2020 campaign earlier this month, Bernie Sanders emailed his supporters, urging them to “do our very best to engage respectfully with our Democratic opponents—talking about the issues we are fighting for, not about personalities or past grievances. I want to be clear that I condemn bullying and harassment of any kind and in any space.”

your just all about those fake news when it comes to progressives policies @fightinfrenchman.
Here is David Seronats short resyme ; Media

In May 2005, Sirota became a contributor to The Huffington Post[18] while writing his own blog. He was a regular guest on The Al Franken Show and makes guest appearances on The Colbert Report, Countdown with Keith Olbermann, NOW, Lou Dobbs Tonight, CNBC, and NPR. He is a senior editor at In These Times,[19] a regular columnist for The Nation and the Intermountain Jewish News, and a past contributor to The American Prospect. He has been published in The Washington Post,[20] the Los Angeles Times,[21] the Baltimore Sun,[22] and the San Francisco Chronicle.[23][24]

Sirota was a contributor to OpenLeft, a now-defunct progressive political blog. In June 2007, he replaced the late progressive columnist Molly Ivins with a column to be syndicated nationally by Creators Syndicate. Sirota became a contributing writer for Salon in May 2011.[25]

From 2009 to 2012, Sirota was the morning host at the Denver progressive talk station KKZN. Sirota was initially filling in for Jay Marvin on his eponymous program; but Marvin was ultimately unable to return, and Sirota became the permanent host in 2010. Sirota also guest hosted for Thom Hartmann and Norman Goldman. On July 16, 2012, Sirota moved to sister station KHOW to co-host an afternoon drive program with former George W. Bush administration FEMA director Michael D. Brown, The Rundown with Sirota and Brown. In January 2013, after nearly four years in radio, Sirota parted ways with KHOW/Clear Channel. Insiders speculate the reason for the abrupt departure was friction between the two co-hosts; it left Brown with his own show.[26]

In March 2017, Sirota joined The Young Turks online broadcast network as a contributor, providing periodic investigative reports.[27][28] In early 2018, after four years of reporting for the International Business Times as senior editor of investigations,[29] Sirota left that publication.[30]

As far as I can tell. he is a super good contributor who has been on the right side of things, for a very long time.

If the same situation happened with any other candidate you would be attacking them as a corporate shill

What actually happened? I cannot understand your outrage here. You need to be more spesific. Its no secret that Sirota has supported Bernie for a very long time. Makes sense that Bernie hires a journalist that support him, dont you agree?

It's deceitful to be a "journalist" attacking a bunch of candidates without disclosing he was already working for Bernie

[fightinfrenchman]

Beating Trump by two points seems like a great idea

By attacking, you mean he was reporting on their campaign finances? I would say that is fair, but you might have other things in mind?
I have experienced worse crimes, I will not point a finger, but the campaign I have in mind was back in 2016 and guess what, they are still at it, lashing out at every opportunity, searching high and low to find SOMETHING, or ANYTHING
About the smear campaign you constantly are on, when it comes to Bernie, maybe you should join forces with the guy Jimmy Dore are reading tweets from;

made my day a little brighter, from lol

Criticisms of other candidates are fair, criticisms of Bernie are "smears"

[spanky4ever]

why don't you take a look at the video I posted, as an example of smears, free from facts.
criticism on the other hand, are raising questions about candidates campaign financing, and how that affects their policies if they get elected. I bet you know the difference

Definitely can't have Beto then, since he loses to Trump in the same poll.

We will see what happens when all of Biden’s terrible votes are played all the tome.

If the DNC is incapable of winning the White House I dare say they're grossly out of touch with young, voteless "voters."
