1) Plant a false story anonymously with a friendly member of the Fourth Estate, who publishes it.

2) Wait for the story to be picked up & repeated by the rest of the media.

3) Comment on the "issues" raised by the manufactured "controversy", and use it to attack your opponent.

The only difference is that the Sanders camp has learned enough from the disaster of the Bush Regime to not have their primary out there commenting on the false story. They've only allowed their surrogates to deal with it.
