In reply to the discussion: Clyburn's preference for the Supreme Court is troubling. [View all]Celerity
(54,595 posts)40. lol at you lamely trying to smear The American Prospect
Reich has not been a main editor there for ages (Robert Kuttner and Paul Starr are the main editors, see below), as so what anyway, he is a rock solid liberal Democrat. Reich hardly even writes articles for them anymore, just 2 in the last 13 months, the latest one was 5 months ago.
Editor is multi millionare Robert Reich.
false (in terms of his being TAP's editor)
Also, what is up with the snark about Reich being a multi millionaire?
He is 75 years old, has been a high powered professor, government official (cabinet level) and a best-selling author for decades. His net worth is 4 million usd, accumulated over a 50+ year career. Bezos, Arnaut, Gates, and Musk, etc have gained that much net worth on a good day in ONE MINUTE.
You are so transparent trying to make insinuate that simply by being labelled Left by that site means it somehow is automatically suspect.

The American Prospect has very likely been posted here since DU was founded (I would wager hundreds if not thousands of times when including replies), and yet all of sudden you pop off out of the blue, trying to smear it.

I was a bit tongue-in-cheek. Some say Clyburn "saved" Joe's candidacy with his endorsement.

And yet she is under consideration. And yet she is visibly part of a small pool of candidates.
