Can someone write to the author SANDHYA TANEJA and ask her about her article with erroneous info? FEC June information is not out. What's her source?


Here's the article: https://whipboard.co/2016/06/campaign-cash-sanders-growing-despite-mathematical-elimination/

2. Disinformation

Disinformation is intentionally false or inaccurate information that is spread deliberately. It is an act of deception and false statements to convince someone of untruth. Disinformation should not be confused with misinformation, information that is unintentionally false.

Unlike traditional propaganda techniques designed to engage emotional support, disinformation is designed to manipulate the audience at the rational level by either discrediting conflicting information or supporting false conclusions. A common disinformation tactic is to mix some truth and observation with false conclusions and lies, or to reveal part of the truth while presenting it as the whole (a limited hangout).

Another technique of concealing facts, or censorship, is also used if the group can affect such control. When channels of information cannot be completely closed, they can be rendered useless by filling them with disinformation, effectively lowering their signal-to-noise ratio and discrediting the opposition by association with many easily disproved false

5. This. nt

[Her Sister]

7. I know sufrommich. But this brand new author pisses me off

total bogus info! and see her spreading her article... I hate sneaky people. Media does that too much.

[Her Sister]

6. It looks like a new site!

2 articles in May

The rest in June.

[Her Sister]

15. I did not mean it like that! But lies are ugly to me!

[Her Sister]

18. She posts her info in that article!!!

both the linked and the twitter!!

[Her Sister]

21. I did not find private info. It was public.

Hate lying media! hate it! hate it! That's about it! Make more of it if you wish!

GLAD THEY PUT CORRECTION! finally!

But in the meantime The same exact article in in this HRC hating website but without author's name! W/O Correction!

[Her Sister]

22. I like media lies to backfire instantaneously! Not going to coddle new lying writers!

That's what we need in America a whole brand new batch of lying writers! Geesh!

[Her Sister]

28. I researched that's how I knew/learnt she was new

but before that no one knew and were spreading article, including OP here!

New or not, mistake or lie, ~Bogus info spreading.

[Her Sister]

35. If you want to give the benefit of the doubt you call it a mistake!

If you don't want to give it the benefit of the doubt you call it a lie.


If it's a mistake I find it stupid, stupid stupid. And people spreading it and people not catching it: not using critical thinking or something, or not caring to. Not sure!

Author linked her Linked in the article's site along with her twitter.

Really am done, glad it got corrected in one site: https://whipboard.co/2016/06/campaign-cash-sanders-growing-despite-mathematical-elimination/

Yet it did not get corrected in the other one. http://usapoliticsnow.com/?p=2870 Grrrrrrrrr!

[Her Sister]

45. I removed Linked link and modified Title and OP

Someone in this thread wrote/commented in the 2nd link about the article's wrong info. So am glad that's done!! Hopefully they'll also redact or correct.

[Bluenorthwest]

34. I agree with the other poster. This OP is calling for organized action when you could simply speak

your own mind to the author.
Asking other people to go after her is very different than taking issue with her yourself directly and also different than informing people of the error.

[Her Sister]

48. I am not of this mind! Stop exaggerating!

52. You softened your attack after several people called you out, now you blame those who called you

out. This sort of thing is not representative of Hillary Clinton nor of the Democratic Party. I don't want DU to be reduced to this sort of thing.

[Her Sister]

53. Yes freaking shame on me!!! What the heck do you want!

Stop the attacky tone! DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO SOFTEN OR TO DOUBLE DOWN! I saw people's view points and am a reasonable person believe it or not.

You can try to do the same or you can keep your huffy tone. If someone COMPROMISES CAN YOU PLEASE ACCEPT IT!

Plus one article got corrected, and Someone here wrote to the other site! YAYYYY!

[Glorfindel]

9. "Editor’s Note: A previous version of this story incorrectly reported May fundraising as June."

It looks as if someone at the site discovered the error and corrected it.

[Her Sister]

12. Yes must be new! Good!

Man oh man! Glad they corrected! Much better! Thanks!

Hate the media getting away with blatant mistake, misinformation, disinformation, whatever!

All's well! Hope that brand new writer won't ever try to pull stuff like this again.

[Bluenorthwest]

37. This is the first time I recall agreeing with you.

And I do so very strongly.

19. The same exact article in in this HRC hating website but without author's name! but no correction?

10. Seems like usuncut.

An outlet designed to deceive and target a special audience. Look at how easy it was for Goodman to get readers. As long as the lies and deception fit peoples narratives they will stick with the person.

[Silver_Witch]

11. Twitter is very easy to sign up for. Even this 60 year old woman has twitter!

EEITED TO ADD: actually m the article is well written and informative. Thank you for posting the link. I now have a new source for morning reading. Excellent.

[Her Sister]

13. Thank you Silver_Witch!

I just don't trust some types of media.

[Silver_Witch]

56. Sorry for your mistrust it is understandable though

Happy Friday!

[Her Sister]

57. Yes, enjoy the Holiday weekend!

Happy 4th!

[Her Sister]

14. Was spreading bogus info. Good luck with them!

[ms liberty]

23. If you think it's that important

Perhaps you should contact her yourself?

[Her Sister]

26. I don't do twitter. Unfortunately or Fortunately!

Yes, probably right! Yet also a way to highlight a bogus info/article/source to people here. Barabin Baraban!

and that's a good thing!

[ms liberty]

36. Between this OP, and your plethora of comments

In the other thread, you are beginning to look like a stalker. I would applaud your enthusiasm if you were to show as much concern in any of the threads referencing issues of vital importance, but you seem to be more interested in whipping up a mob against some college girl to whom almost no one is actually giving any serious attention.

[Her Sister]

38. Ah a stalker/researcher for one day! yeah sure! I wanted to get to know the source!

Thanks for your input! Go in peace!

[BlueCaliDem]

29. She corrected her article:

Editor’s Note: A previous version of this story incorrectly reported May fundraising as June.

[Her Sister]

30. but not the 2nd one! The one in the HRC hating site!

Here:
http://usapoliticsnow.com/?p=2870

Same exact article but doesn't provide author nor correction.

[BlueCaliDem]

32. I've posted a comment to have them correct the article. It just goes to show that uspolitics is a

sham site - most likely funded by Republicans who need to keep the Democrats divided (which Sanders is helping by refusing to concede and/or endorse the winner, Hillary Clinton) since they've got such a poor and idiotic candidate as their nominee.

40. Thank you! ~ I appreciate this so much!

58. They still haven't changed or corrected in the 2nd site!?

grrrrrrrr grrrr

[KitSileya]

33. Hey, this isn't good. I think you should delete.

We don't need to emulate the Gamergaters even a little, and inundating a college students with angry emails about how her article is wrong is not good. Show how the articles are wrong in posts here on DU, even write an email to the author yourself, but don't invite a deluge down on her by encouraging a multitude of DUers to write to her.

I think you should delete this OP, and I say that as a Clinton supporter.

[Her Sister]

41. I did in another OP but wanted to have the article redacted or something so it's "info"

would not get spread! I looked at the FEC site. I looked at the sources. I looked at the author. In the other thread the OP left the article with the wrong info.

[KitSileya]

43. And you refuted her articles beautifully. I just don't think you should encourage a mail-in on her

That smacks of doxxing and Gamergating - to encourage people to go after a person online. People who go to the website on their own and are dismayed at what she writes? Fine. But to ask people here to join you in writing to her? I don't think that's right. That is threading very close to the line.

[Her Sister]

42. I modified title/OP

[KitSileya]

46. That is better. I still don't think you should encourage other people to write to her, though.

I think you can say that you wrote to her, and give the link to the article if people want to read the whole article themselves. Then they can decide themselves if they want to write to her too.

Let's face it, she's not a professional journalist, or even a journalism student. She's an amateur, and it shows. To bury her in hateful mail is bad sportsmanship.

[Her Sister]

50. I only know that because I researched her bio

Otherwise people were spreading her article as if she was a good source.

I am not a troll or someone who likes to encourage abuse,

yes I do hate the media sometimes.

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

49. The other sites are zombies as I explained to you elsewhere...

That 2nd link doesn't create any content they just steal other people's articles and rehost them for advertising revenue. On reddit using those type of links are against the rules and they get blocked as rehosted content.

[Her Sister]

51. GeorgiaPeanuts, I did not see your explanation above.

I just know that there were only two sites with that info and they happen to have the exact same article. But nowhere else could I find corroboration or 1st hand sources.

Thanks!

Campaign cash of Sanders growing, despite elimination [View all]

https://whipboard.co/2016/06/campaign-cash-sanders-growing-despite-mathematical-elimination/

Despite Hillary Clinton winning the outright nomination on June 7, Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT) refuses to back down. According to CNN, Sanders pledges to fight on to the convention. Sander’s supporters have also made it clear that they will continue to give money to his campaign.

In fact, according to recent Federal Election Commission data, the Sanders campaign raised an additional $17 million throughout June, despite being mathematically eliminated. Of the over $229 million Sanders has now raised in total, 99.98 percent has come from donations, which is greater than what presidential candidates Donald Trump, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Ohio Governor John Kasich raised.

Sanders has no debt that he needs to settle, and has spent approximately $219.9 million with a surplus of $9 million remaining, which he will most likely spend before he drops out of the campaign.

Campaign cash of Sanders growing, despite elimination

Editor’s Note: A previous version of this story incorrectly reported May fundraising as June.

Despite Hillary Clinton winning the nomination on June 7, Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT) refuses to back down. According to CNN, Sanders pledges to fight on to the convention. Sander’s supporters have also made it clear that they will continue to give money to his campaign – and the campaign continues to ask for it.

The Sanders campaign raised nearly $46 million in March, but only $16.4 million in May.

Of the over $229 million Sanders has now raised in total, 99.98 percent has come from donations, which is greater than what presidential candidates Donald Trump, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Ohio Governor John Kasich raised.

As of May 31, Sanders had no debt that he needs to settle, and has spent approximately $219.9 million with a surplus of $9 million remaining, which he may spend before he drops out of the campaign.
