An editor at Daily Kos shared their, um, opinion about Nina Turner and Bernie Sanders...NSFW [View all]

I'm not sure if this is okay to share here. If it's not, I will self delete. However, I wanted to show an example of why the Sanders campaign is getting upset with media coverage. Daily Kos is a popular democratic website that most on here recognize. One of their editors went on a Twitter rampage against Nina Turner and Sanders using some NSFW language. The tweets have since been deleted. You've been warned.

Maybe you missed the part where he accused Bernie of paying Nina for sex... HerbChestnut Aug 2019 #21

I wouldn't spread that around...such a vicious remark and untrue for sure...but Kos is opinion. Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #23

Yes, I missed that. Ans just as well. TreasonousBastard Aug 2019 #26

It is Kos not the New York Times for God's sake...opinion. Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #24

I don't consider Daily Kos to be a news media organization Fresh_Start Aug 2019 #9

They have a large following and their polls are sometimes reported on MSNBC. HerbChestnut Aug 2019 #10
