Lots of "progressive" journalists spent the day excusing highly dubious media/political "revolving door" behavior that they would strenuously criticize (with much justification) in other circumstances. Doesn't bode well for their ability to fairly cover the Sanders campaign.

Please address the Wikileaks revelations on Journalism and political campaigns. Entire networks and dozens of top msm journos called out by name in the DNC emails as being political operatives and colluding with the DNC! Are you under the impression they’re not still doing this?

Minimal transparency to avoid conflict of interest (CoI) is good. But in the absence of more details it could be that until his hiring last week Sirota was pushing his well-known policy positions on climate change etc. thru Sanders. Formally, he wanted policy X. What is the CoI?

Nothing is completely black &white. People are not "black & white". Altho I do not agree with actions Sanders took in the past with DNC (& Clinton) - he still appears as if he will manage to blow-thru Dem party. Altho could have done same 3rd party. Still 2 yrs off for the

finale - and if there is anything I've learned in political races - you just can't be certain of anything. David is a good hire. Yeah, skirting the edges of journalistic integrity, but what is journalism these days? And in politics, sometimes you have to fight anyway you can.

There's already an anti-Left bias in the media. It's only going to get worse. The Washington Post is going to do everything it can to take down Sanders if he continues to poll well.

I totally understand what you’re saying. But can we be honest about how much political figures and the media are intertwined? This isn’t unexpected or unusual in our politics. The Dems literally had parties where they invited friendly press in 2016.

To be fair, Bernie Sanders supporters have killed very few people compared to skin cancer or whatever, so criticizing them is a distraction from The Real Issues

If all the facts are correct, I agree that he should have immediately been transparent. What I'm not clear on is this: if it is true that correct protocols were not followed, what would you like to see happen at this point? What would you consider an acceptable remedy?

Yeah, we're not thrilled with you either. I'd trust someone who can honestly report an encounter w/an elderly Congresswoman over you.

Yikes...I had this exact thought earlier and I had no idea the response to this would be so toxic. I cant stand Hillary but I can tell you the exact way Bernie folk would (and did) react if the shoe were on the other foot. Double standards.

I would react the same way for any candidate. It is not a deal.

I frankly don't see any problem, anything surprising, and I'm a critical journalist. Sirota has opinions, tweets. Does committed reporting. Is selected for candidate's staff. He's too prickly to be a lapdog.
