In reply to the discussion: Turner, Brown ads get nasty: Darcy cartoon [View all]Budi
(15,325 posts)15. Cleveland Plain Dealer literally endorsed Turner. Expect nothing else but this from them.
The ethics bs is a propagandist piece shoved out to damage Brown by none other than RW propagandist Walter Bragman & his go-to rag mag, The Intercept.
Bragman himself says:
@WalkerBragman
The ethics commission does not comment on or confirm the existence of ethics investigations. It does make settlement agreements publicbut there is no record of a settlement agreement on this matter.
Cleveland Plain Dealer could do everyone an honest favor and disclose the same statement.
But ya know, "MONEY & MEDIA!"
Truth that's not being told by the Cleveland Plain Dealer are the Foreign & Dark Money ties from RU owned Mercury PR Lobbying group, who Turner literally gets $$$$ support from, and her RW donor.

Man, first it's RU agent Kirill Gorenchenko & Mercury Public Affairs (global lobbyists) $upporting Nina, then it's Buddy Romer's $8million $$$ offer to Cenk to start TYT (as long as Roemer sits on the board), and Now This!
How the heck did TYT, JDems & Nina all get conned into these nefarious affiliations?
It's FORIEGN, it's RW, & it's RICH CORPORATE DONORS.
Whaddya spose any of thoe 3 listed might expect in exchange?
Here, reach right in there & grab yourself a big handful of Foreign, Corporate Cash.
No worries, we won't ask for anything in exchange.
HELLO! SOMEBODY Please ask CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER about the Dark RW Corporate Donations to these Turner recipients.
Thanks.
Unlike Bragman, Brown actually has the receipts.

It's from the Cleveland Plain Dealer-Cleveland's largest newspaper. I don't think slant is why

Shontel Brown is not being investigated. The Intercept's allegations are being reviewed.

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost is a Republican. Of course he'd play the smear game against a Dem.

LOL-it's a right wing conspiracy! Or was that left wing? It's all so confusing.
