Jonathan Capehart is merely the stooge and David Brock is simply the hatchet man

The marching orders are coming straight from Hillary Clinton.

They have always come from Hillary Clinton.

For honesty, integrity, competence, good judgement, and leadership, support Bernie Sanders.

Do you have links from reputable media of that fact or should I file it under "conspiracy theory?"

Capehart has discredited himself and the paper he works for.

takes no moment, the Stooge is he who gets slapped. A 'shill' on the other hand is hip to the game, a participant and crafty accomplice who takes a high status role in order to entice others using enthusiasm for the proposition or for the act. The shill is a well dressed person with whom the 'marks' or the 'audience' naturally relate who plays the role of excited consumer of the vended product, be it a bottle of snake oil or the skills of a mind reader.

What is your evidence for this?
