184. Some additional links about the propaganda and lies of Blue Nation Review

Fri Mar 25, 2016, 05:13 PM

Mar 2016

One example was the peddling of the 'Sierra Blanca Bill' myth which didn't actually exist. BNR pushed this myth and was quoted quite a lot. There was actually a 35 state low level radioactive disposal compact of which Vermont reserved 20%. Sierra Blanca was the 4th site surveyed, it was protested by anti-nuclear groups, and ultimately rejected.

Here are some relevant links with articles about the propaganda arm of the Hillary campaign, owned by one of her super-PACs ran by admitted liar David Brock, Blue Nation Review, and completely amateur looking propaganda site quoted by her followers regularly, generally spouting attack articles with half-truths written by Peter Daou.

Didn't. But JPR is not run by anyone on the payroll of the DNC or Bernie of anyone else. merrily Mar 2016 #23

Kind of like Bernie supporters can post all the time on hillaryclintonsupporters.com? LiberalArkie Mar 2016 #55

"Propaganda site" is the Bernie-or-Bust term for "anything not owned by Rupert Murdoch". DanTex Mar 2016 #18

No, just those owned by her super-PAC. nt revbones Mar 2016 #34

Well, no, it's actually not. But, hey, why let facts get in the way? DanTex Mar 2016 #38

Um yes it is nt revbones Mar 2016 #43

Bull puckies, but you knew that before you hit "post." merrily Mar 2016 #40

Let's not forget David Brock is a Republican. berni_mccoy Mar 2016 #19

Seriously? BernieforPres2016 Mar 2016 #25

Actually, he's a Democrat, not that facts matter much in Hillary-bashing circles. DanTex Mar 2016 #30

Well, now he is. nt. revbones Mar 2016 #33

Yes. Like Bernie. DanTex Mar 2016 #35

Seems to be whatever he gets money to be. Used to hit the Clintons from the right, now he works merrily Mar 2016 #45

You mean like Bernie "I joined the party for the cash" Sanders? DanTex Mar 2016 #48

You made up a quote and falsely attributed it to Sanders to deflect from my post about Brock. merrily Mar 2016 #60

Paraphrased, but true to meaning. You know that as well as I do. DanTex Mar 2016 #62

Um, no, I don't. That's merely something else you made up to deflect from Brock. merrily Mar 2016 #63

He gave an interview where he said just that. And actually Brock didn't change for money, DanTex Mar 2016 #64

Then you should link to his actual words with context. Brock SAID what he changed for. Why should I merrily Mar 2016 #70

I have looked his words in context. He wanted the money. DanTex Mar 2016 #71

Try for a more intelligible first sentence, please. And when was Bernie a Republican again? merrily Mar 2016 #72

"I have looked his words in context." Seems like a normal sentence to me. DanTex Mar 2016 #74

Um, no, it isn't. And it's not a link, either. merrily Mar 2016 #77

How would you fix it to make it more readable then? Is it a grammar thing? DanTex Mar 2016 #79

If I knew what the hell it was supposed to mean, I could probably fix it. As it is, I don't, or merrily Mar 2016 #80

It simply meant that, yes, I have seen the context of the remarks. It's clear what he meant. DanTex Mar 2016 #82

Moolah. Cabbage. High society. DanTex Mar 2016 #92

Media coverage of his run from shows like MTP. No wonder you didn't want to link. merrily Mar 2016 #95

He had no money, and he had to find some people who did. Cha-ching! DanTex Mar 2016 #96

Absolutely false and not supported by the story you linked. Neither MTP nor DNC is funding him. merrily Mar 2016 #98

You think that the whole Democratic infrastructure costs nothing? LOL. DanTex Mar 2016 #99

Which whole Democratic infrastructure that the DNC pays for has been supporting Bernie again? merrily Mar 2016 #100

The one that is running the primaries, the convention, the debates, etc. DanTex Mar 2016 #102

I've asked you several times to stop making up crap about me. merrily Mar 2016 #105

The excluded middle. Either you believe his numbers or you don't. DanTex Mar 2016 #107
