1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Well, the long knives are out for Crazy Bernie. Over

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: the weekend, the Washington Post took his supporters to the woodshed.

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: They're mad Crazy Bernie fans are flooding social media with

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: vicious attacks on FOLCA hottas. One Bernie fan depicted her

5
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: face as a mask and then behind the mask was

6
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton. Other Bernie supporters portrayed Senator Warren as a snake,

7
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: the backstabber, and a liar. The Washington Post complains that

8
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: Crazy Bernie supporters are way more visible on Facebook than

9
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: polling shows they should be. The Post says that Facebook

10
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: gives individual Bernie users power over public discourse disproportionate to

11
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: their numbers at the ballot box. Now. The Post is

12
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: also mad that Facebook is letting Bernie supporters knock Warren.

13
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: George Washington University professor Stephen Livingston blames Facebook for whipping

14
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: up passions. He says that Facebook's algorithm activates people in

15
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: ways that accentuate extremism. It's bad that Facebook rewards emotionally

16
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: charge content and inflames political discourse. Now, to you and me,

17
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: this is hilarious. Sanders supporters are doing the warrant exactly

18
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: what drive by media types have been doing the conservatives

19
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: for decades. They create ugly narratives and then spread them.

20
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: They portray people they don't like politically and vicious ways

21
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: in order to activate their readers and inflame political discourse.

22
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: Now the real reason to drive by is at the

23
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: Post are attacking Facebook and Crazy Bernie is because they're jealous.
