(797 posts)Seemingly, unlike you, I actually read the New York Times article. It does not quote Sanders it contains a single reporters interpretation of what Sanders says and even then it does not use the phrase "rising star" which you put in quotes as something Sanders in fact said.
Note the article contains actual quotes from Randi Weingarden meaning the Times is reporting what she said. It contains an actual quote from Ilsye Hogue to back up a reporters contention. It contains a quote from Erin Matson backing up the reporters contention of Hogues position.
I hope you see the pattern here.
It contains a quote of Tom Perez It contains a quote of Tom Begalia. It contains a quote of Nina Turner. It contains a quote of Jane Keeb who the reporter said is the DNC official who aorganized the event.
What the article does not have is a quote of Bernie saying "rising star". In fact it has no quote of Bernie whatsoever. If the reporter was there and Bernie said that, it could have been quoted and would give you the support you needed. However, it pretty clearly is not the case. He did not say that, it is what the Reporter interprets a speech as and which you have taken as gospel and changed it from an interpretation to a quote. It is even probable given the budgets of news organizations that this Reporter was not even there, just trying to report what the other quoted individuals who have political points what to say about the meaning of the event. If the reporter has no actual quotes how do you even know he was there.
So remove your quotes or find an actual quote of what Bernie said if you want to use quotes.
