    Colluding with the media to silence dissent is corruption. And it looks pretty bad for the media too.

    Does it? This is how the media and political parties interact though lol, it's a constant give-and-take
    I think that in a two-candidate race between Trump and Clinton, the fact that we're talking about Clinton's "dishonesty" is insane.

    @JMG few thoughts:

    it's messy stuff, running a national political party. the frat boy s--- is just dumb......like "no h---" what are you, a f---ing 15 y/o from 2003?

    mark paustenbach is obviosuly all over these-- he was actually very good about keeping the bernie criticism sewn up imo. he knew the email maxim "don't write any emails you wouldn't be comfortable with showing up on the cover of paper x"

    what a treasure trove for wikileaks one day...for putin. but no, eric walker: that guy is the one in the BI story

    these fundraising agreements are not new tho. it's a bit of an end-around for pooling dem fundraising $$ yes, but it's not some new sinister ploy

    otherwise i echo @WPG's take for the most part. all this does is affirm the frustrations of bernie bros that already existed.

    Exactly. It's incredibly, monstrously embarrassing. It paints the DNC like a s-----y, meek, third-tier frat house. But it's not "corrupt" or malicious lol

    How do you explain away their planned attack against bernard's jewish heritage? or is that just run of the mill campaigning as well

    Shameful to even suggest it! But never came to fruition, so why are we talking about it lol

    Yeah, it's constant corruption. Journalism should be independent of direct political influence or control.

    Also, its pretty dishonest to conflate silencing dissent with campaigning. There is a clear difference between promotion and suppression and these leaked emails make the DNC seem more oppressive than anything else.

    Trump is an idiot, but people like how transparent his bs is.

    What are you outraged about here? Are you an adult? I work in consulting/communications/policy. This is how memos are written.

    *Trump suggests that an entire religion is unwelcome in our country*
    Berniebro: I, for one, am OUTRAGED that the establishment sent some mildly snarky e-mails about the anti-establishment candidate
