Speaker 1: Well, the long knives are out for Crazy Bernie. Over
Speaker 1: the weekend, the Washington Post took his supporters to the woodshed.
Speaker 1: They're mad Crazy Bernie fans are flooding social media with
Speaker 1: vicious attacks on FOLCA hottas. One Bernie fan depicted her
Speaker 1: face as a mask and then behind the mask was
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton. Other Bernie supporters portrayed Senator Warren as a snake,
Speaker 1: the backstabber, and a liar. The Washington Post complains that
Speaker 1: Crazy Bernie supporters are way more visible on Facebook than
Speaker 1: polling shows they should be. The Post says that Facebook
Speaker 1: gives individual Bernie users power over public discourse disproportionate to
Speaker 1: their numbers at the ballot box. Now. The Post is
Speaker 1: also mad that Facebook is letting Bernie supporters knock Warren.
Speaker 1: George Washington University professor Stephen Livingston blames Facebook for whipping
Speaker 1: up passions. He says that Facebook's algorithm activates people in
Speaker 1: ways that accentuate extremism. It's bad that Facebook rewards emotionally
Speaker 1: charge content and inflames political discourse. Now, to you and me,
Speaker 1: this is hilarious. Sanders supporters are doing the warrant exactly
Speaker 1: what drive by media types have been doing the conservatives
Speaker 1: for decades. They create ugly narratives and then spread them.
Speaker 1: They portray people they don't like politically and vicious ways
Speaker 1: in order to activate their readers and inflame political discourse.
Speaker 1: Now the real reason to drive by is at the
Speaker 1: Post are attacking Facebook and Crazy Bernie is because they're jealous.
