Well, the long knives are out for Crazy Bernie. Over the weekend, the Washington Post took his supporters to the woodshed. They're mad Crazy Bernie fans are flooding social media with vicious attacks on FOLCA hottas. One Bernie fan depicted her face as a mask and then behind the mask was Hillary Clinton. Other Bernie supporters portrayed Senator Warren as a snake, the backstabber, and a liar. The Washington Post complains that Crazy Bernie supporters are way more visible on Facebook than
polling shows they should be. The Post says that Facebook gives individual Bernie users power over public discourse disproportionate to their numbers at the ballot box. Now. The Post is also mad that Facebook is letting Bernie supporters knock Warren. George Washington University professor Stephen Livingston blames Facebook for whipping up passions. He says that Facebook's algorithm activates people in ways that accentuate extremism. It's bad that Facebook rewards emotionally
charge content and inflames political discourse. Now, to you and me, this is hilarious. Sanders supporters are doing the warrant exactly what drive by media types have been doing the conservatives for decades. They create ugly narratives and then spread them. They portray people they don't like politically and vicious ways in order to activate their readers and inflame political discourse.
Now the real reason to drive by is at the Post are attacking Facebook and Crazy Bernie is because they're jealous.
