Highlight:

Capehart removes the picture of "Not Bernie" from his twitter page, replaces it with lawn sign [View all] Electric Monk Feb 2016 OP

ROFL. He's going to be apologizing hard today / tomorrow. joshcryer Feb 2016 #1

I agree. Like pulling a Band-Aid off quickly. AtomicKitten Feb 2016 #22

I think that's why he did the pic switch. joshcryer Feb 2016 #23

oh yeah, it's gonna take some work cleaning up AtomicKitten Feb 2016 #31

loved the reply someone posted researching his unbiased reporting tomm2thumbs Feb 2016 #86

Less than a year since Capehart was forced by public outrage to apologize for his Ferguson piece Bluenorthwest Feb 2016 #62

I consider Capehart clickbait journalism, nothing more, nothing less. joshcryer Feb 2016 #64

He's clickbait backbiting, not even clickbait journalism. He did not even pick up the phone to ask Bluenorthwest Feb 2016 #71

You think clickbait goes beyond opinionative supposition? joshcryer Feb 2016 #75

If that's the standard, there are an awful lot of DUers who never bothered to admit mythology Feb 2016 #72

Fact is the standard for 'journalist doing journalism' is much higher than for random idiots on the Bluenorthwest Feb 2016 #73

Are we seeing a claim for "backlash victim", in the making? nt Snotcicles Feb 2016 #81

I don't expect an apology. "It's confusing as to who to believe" will be the extent valerief Feb 2016 #76

Hmmmm... concreteblue Feb 2016 #2

Oh my goodness. n/t Avalux Feb 2016 #3

That looks like he just endorsed Bernie. Kalidurga Feb 2016 #4

Did he feel the Bern? RobertEarl Feb 2016 #5

Well....maybe not. Avalux Feb 2016 #9

No he wouldn't. His partner is big Clinton supporter. HooptieWagon Feb 2016 #28

More than a supporter. He works for her campaign. (nt) jeff47 Feb 2016 #77

Yep. Campaign and M$M coordinating together in propaganda. HooptieWagon Feb 2016 #80

Read the comments - loved them. 840high Feb 2016 #6

This is one weird start to a retraction nadinbrzezinski Feb 2016 #7

It's kinda cute actually. Instead of "not Bernie" he's admitting with the sign that "it's Bernie". JimDandy Feb 2016 #59

Is Capehart coping with his horrendous journalism skills by CoffeeCat Feb 2016 #8

He may come up with more insightful pieces if he is high. As it is, his column is garbage. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #37

Thanks for posting this out here! jillan Feb 2016 #10

You're welcome. I hope Skinner sees it tomorrow. nt Electric Monk Feb 2016 #15

You are a mind reader! I was just looking for his thread to add this there. jillan Feb 2016 #17

Is he in on the swiftboating? cui bono Feb 2016 #40

Skinner started a thread yesterday. I think that's part of the reason it's been such a big deal here Electric Monk Feb 2016 #46

He was concerned about posts being hidden for promoting the fraud. arcane1 Feb 2016 #47

I'm sure he was concerned about that. cui bono Feb 2016 #51

Heh heh heh. R. Daneel Olivaw Feb 2016 #56

Gotta pay the bills? nt PonyUp Feb 2016 #79

It's still got the headline "this is not Bernie Sanders" so it seems he's trying to be coy. cui bono Feb 2016 #11

Coy is a good word for it. I agree that this seems like a non-apology apology. Electric Monk Feb 2016 #12

Yeah, especially if you look at his last two tweets... cui bono Feb 2016 #13

Aren't you supposed to do the research before the reporting? JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #38

He's an biased, trolling asshole who should be fired Iggy Knorr Feb 2016 #14

He should have done his job and gotten the facts before blabbing all over the MSM and Luminous Animal Feb 2016 #19

He had a deadline, Clinton's needed the script today, to coordinated with Lewis and Brock. HooptieWagon Feb 2016 #32

Exactly. Not to mention defense against the recent endorsements and the Erica Garner ad. arcane1 Feb 2016 #49

He's not feeling the Bern Luminous Animal Feb 2016 #16

I beg to differ. He is feeling the Bern - Now! jillan Feb 2016 #18

I see it differently. He is digging in. Luminous Animal Feb 2016 #20

Let him. He's been exposed. I don't think this is going away. jillan Feb 2016 #21

i don't either. It is now 9 hours since he interviewed the photographer. Luminous Animal Feb 2016 #25

I get the feeling he is not sleeping too soundly tonite. jillan Feb 2016 #27

In the meantime you have to wonder how many page views... joshcryer Feb 2016 #33

I don't know... he doesn't get very many likes or retweets. n/t cui bono Feb 2016 #42

You are keeping track of the HOURS since he R B Garr Feb 2016 #43

Um. The time stamp is on his twitter feed and I can do math. Luminous Animal Feb 2016 #54

What! This vile wizardry you are using is terrifying!!! jeff47 Feb 2016 #78

Maybe he'll one day get to run a site owned by a billionaire. joshcryer Feb 2016 #24

Who runs a site owned by a billionaire? Luminous Animal Feb 2016 #26

Washington Post? enigmatic Feb 2016 #29

Pierre Omidyar's site. joshcryer Feb 2016 #30

Who runs it? Luminous Animal Feb 2016 #34

The co-founders and editor in chief? joshcryer Feb 2016 #36

What's wrong with the intercept? I feel I am not understanding this conversation. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #41

Not much. joshcryer Feb 2016 #45

the opinion pieces don't promote a "pro billionare" stance despite the ownership. m-lekktor Feb 2016 #65

Yes, they actually do. joshcryer Feb 2016 #70

I'm going with editor in chief. That is the journalistic standard. You have a problem with Luminous Animal Feb 2016 #53

I have a problem with checkbook journalism. joshcryer Feb 2016 #55

He was probably being harrassed. By who I wonder? n/t asuhornets Feb 2016 #35

Yeah, it looks like he's saying CHILL. R B Garr Feb 2016 #39

Probably some hornets from Arizona. cui bono Feb 2016 #44

Actually that's hornets from Alabama..eom asuhornets Feb 2016 #48

Oops. lol. n/t cui bono Feb 2016 #50

So many people called him a "hack" that he's going to be another Armstrong Williams. Spitfire of ATJ Feb 2016 #52

It's asswagging his lie pure and simple - cooling the bern - azurnoir Feb 2016 #57

I think it's a reference to cooling the Bern. femmedem Feb 2016 #60

Feel the Bern! Donkees Feb 2016 #61

I hope Jon does not do everything backwards like he reports first and researches second.... Bluenorthwest Feb 2016 #63

Capeheart on twitter: "........writing......" eShirl Feb 2016 #66

I'm disappointed but not too surprised. eShirl Feb 2016 #69
