They're doing it now during the Democratic primary and once again they will be attacking Democratic candidates right up until Election Day to keep the election as close as possible ... every now and then they'll sprinkle in a little news to appear like a news channel.
They really aren't much better than Fox News, at least Fox News doesn't pretend to be anything other than the propaganda arm of the Republican Party.

just terrible. Any one on DU could do a significantly better job.

He did it constantly to Hillary. He is doing it to Warren. He is even doing it to Pelosi to make Mitch look better.
Gee, ya think he doesnt want to see women demonstrate power let alone BE in power?
