Sanders: No surprise 'establishment' Washington Post doesn't like me

(snip)

"I am not greatly beloved by the economic establishment, by Wall Street, by the big money interests, or by the major media of this country including the Washington Post," Sanders said on CNN's "State of the Union."

The editorial, published last week, said Sanders is peddling "fiction” to progressive voters.

“Mr. Sanders is not a brave truth-teller,” the editorial stated. "He is a politician selling his own brand of fiction to a slice of the country that eagerly wants to buy it."

Sanders said on Sunday he's being attacked because he's too ambitious, noting campaign proposals to expand Social Security and reform healthcare.

organ that spews out what its owners want.

It's also a giant RAT trying to fuck Bernie and by extension us. So screw 'em. Few people will be influenced by that.

OK, back by popular demand, at least in my own mind, because I LOVE this rat:
