Jesus, now @cnn is pushing the false @TheAtlantic story that @davidsirota was secretly working for @BernieSanders while reporting on other candidates. @guardian's editor came out debunking this--yet @cnn and @TheAtlantic keep at it. Horrible journalism

It appears he wasn't actively working as a journalist while doing so.https://twitter.com/jnmulholland/status/1108113910148853763 …

He was publishing articles until at least Feb 19 (https://capitalandmain.com/bill-de-blasio-on-economic-inequality-and-amazon-0219 …) with no disclosure. And he was tweeting under the auspices of being an independent journalist till yesterday. Please use the same standards you would apply to to other candidates (and staff) re: Bernie

Unless there's a relevant article published by him after 2/20/19, there is nothing to see here. The Capital and Main Article
@mtracey references was from 2/19/19. Everyone needs to get facts together before making claims.

Right? Yes, MSM is bias against sanders ( that’s undeniable after what we saw during 2016) but
@davidsirota should have disclosed his conflict. Not sure why people like Jordan can’t just say that and move on. This isn’t even going to be a story next week, no need to double down. -
There was no conflict to disclose. The reporting on the story is completely misleading, and premise has been debunked.

But we should note the original framing of the story. It went from 'writing articles' to 'posting tweets' about candidates. Should every Blue Check state when they make a donation to a candidate or vote in the primary for their choice? Technically that's a contribution as well

Doesnt seem like a bad idea, especially if they are a journalist. I mean look at the town halls for several of these candidates. Planted operatives and shit are everywhere. If everything was out in the open it might make this whole process a lot less headache inducing.

Was he really, though? Are you sure it wasn’t just a bit of informal advice? After all, Sirota has known Bernie for a long time

Ok, let me get this straight- Reporting facts about people is ok. But Reporting facts about people while writing speeches for one person is bad? Can I still walk AND chew gum, or should I disclose that beforehand?
