The Atlantic Accused David Sirota of Secretly Working For Bernie Sanders. But Where's the Evidence?

[ehrnst]

63. So why the silence from Sanders' campaign? We know he has hired a press secretary.

In the past, Sanders's spox have been more than willing to immediately publicly accuse any analysis of his MFA that doesn't support in full every speculation within of being a "corporate funded attack."

But since scrutinzing the source of any statement is fair game, here's some information on the author of this article:

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 is a big red flag. If they 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 they were confident enough in their claims on their own merit that they they are self-aware of a possible bias and sought to put it aside. But they didn't.)

Also writes for the Intercept, which has a long history of disparaging and trashing the Democratic party, which David Siorta, who he is defending also does.

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.
