Monday, The Daily News published an interview with Sanders that brought up some tough questions. Sanders answered these questions with eloquence, understanding, and determination. However, those answers were skewed before releasing the story to the public. The pieces of the interview that were published led people and commentators to believe Sanders did not know how to break up the biggest banks in the country. This is shocking, because one of Sanders key points in his campaign is to stop the big banks from running America and break them up.

Sanders has already proposed a bill to break up the banks with a clear plan of action. New York Times outlines the bill,

‘The legislation says that, in no more than 90 days, the Financial Stability Oversight Council, a high-level regulator set up by the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010, would have to draw up a list of firms that appear to be too big to fail. Then steps would be taken to break them up.’

The interview with Sanders was taken out of context, pieces were put together that did not belong together, and crucial information was taken out. When reading the whole interview, Sanders is very informed on what he is talking about, he knows how to get things done and has taken the steps to do so.

7. You won't be disappointed. My feeling is they just wanted to disrupt attn from the great points he

made.

Ie;

Bernie Sanders: No, Apple is not destroying the fabric of America. But I do wish they'd be manufacturing some of their devices, here, in the United States rather than in China. And I do wish that they would not be trying to avoid paying their fair share of taxes.

Daily News: Okay. Well, would you name, say, three American corporate giants that are destroying the national fabric?

Sanders: JPMorgan Chase, and virtually every other major bank in this country. Let me be very clear, all right? I believe that we can and should move to what Pope Francis calls a moral economy.

Right now, there are still millions of people in this country who are suffering the results of the greed, recklessness and illegal behavior on Wall Street. And when you have companies like Goldman Sachs and many other major banks reaching settlements with the United States government, as you're aware, for many billions of dollars, this is an implicit admission that they have engaged in illegal activity.

Daily News: I understand that. I wanted to draw a distinction, though. Because in your speech you mention the financial industry and you focused on corporate America, the greed of Wall Street and corporate America. So I wanted to get a sense of corporate America, as the agent of American destruction.

Sanders: General Electric, good example. General Electric was created in this country by American workers and American consumers. What we have seen over the many years is shutting down of many major plants in this country. Sending jobs to low-wage countries. And General Electric, doing a very good job avoiding the taxes. In fact, in a given year, they pay nothing in taxes. That's greed.

That is greed and that’s selfishness. That is lack of respect for the people of this country.

We can't have people talking about -this-, right? The news orgs have corporate sponsors to think about! And owners' major stock portfolios!

11. I'm pretty sure it was a collaborative effort

between the Clinton campaign and their "media" surrogates.

12. Nah, Sanders is NOT serious about revolution or changing anything in Washington. This is NOT the

... first time people haven't heard enough specifics from Sanders.

13. But when they do this to Hillary it's fair game. nt
