Joy Reid: "That was a very skillful attack by Clinton."

"The nuance of the auto bail out vote is not being reported in Detroit."

I was being sarcastic! And then some!

6. Adulation for a liar!

That's balanced reporting. It's low, even for a pundit.

2. It's all over the INTERNET that Bernie did not vote against

the auto bailout. I don't call a bald face lie a "skillful attack". But, if it held up long enough to tilt the results she won't care what it was called.

3. Well when you have a complicit media

it does seem to be somewhat successful, but skillful? Social and alternative media shows her for the dishonest shill she is.

4. It was well conceived.

5. Joy Reid is being pretty cool with her coverage mostly

even though she's a Hill supporter. I think she knows bs and skilled attack is a way of saying ugly but effective.

7. I don't see it as "skillful" - I think it was sneaky

Obviously Bernie Sanders was not expecting this because it simply was untrue.

I am not sure what "The nuance of the auto bail out vote is not being reported in Detroit" means. I did read here the Clinton campaign was running a radio ad, and now it appears the Sanders campaign is running a radio ad correcting the record.

Perhaps she means no one in traditional reporting chairs are talking about it???

8. detail

Yes. It was untrue.

In the eyes of people who see politics as a sport or some kind of battle, it was considered skillful.

I guess she meant that the local traditional press is reporting the smear and not the correction.

And yes, the Sanders campaign is running a radio ad. But Hillary is also running a radio ad with just the slur, not the correction.

Oh, btw, I also saw Heileman and Halperin on MSNBC today talk about the smear in non-flattering but resigned words.

9. "Artful smear"

Even from a tactical perspective, it was clumsy though- every time she tries to attack Bernie where he's strong, she draws attention to how much she doesn't care about the people she uses to attack him.

I wonder at what point everyone will realize that this is just about Her and her family, not America.

10. It was brilliant. nt

11. Old media v new media

they must be frustrated, The internet MUST BE CONTROLLED

[kstewart33]

12. Bernie doesn't do nuance, does he? nt

[ecstatic]

13. If I tell someone she can borrow my car, but never give her the keys

would it be fair or honest of me to tell everyone that I let that person borrow my car? The bailout needed money. If everyone voted like Bernie did, the big 3 and thousands of workers would have been SOL.

[Punkingal]

14. He voted for the auto bailout. Hillary LIED.

What don't you understand about that?

[ecstatic]

15. But said NO to funding it. nt

18. Ideology meets reality...sometimes compromise matters.

[bigtree]

19. sleight of hand

...what fricking good did that Senate vote do?

The actual money that went to the automakers was in the bill he voted against.
