Bernie stops speech to help a man who fainted at his speech.

[dorkzilla]

I love how silly Gawker's headlines are. Bernie is such a mensch.

1. You can see his reaction is genuine and instinctive. He is a good person, no question.

2. Corbetto wins the internet today

"I didn’t hear the sound of soft cheese slapped against a wet floor, so it obviously wasn't Ted Cruz"

3. The comments are always worth looking at. They're the funniest commentators on the net!

It's the reason I read it often!

4. what is with

the tone of that Gawker piece? How do people make the leap toward this being a staged publicity stunt?

5. Gawker likes Bernie last I checked.

But they can be satirical at times.

[MrChuck]

7. Wow.

It gets more and more difficult to discern satire. It's almost as if you have to know the particular outlet's position beforehand.
Not everyone is The Onion.

9. To be fair it's a very NY-centric site

So it tends to be edgy in a very sarcastic, New York kind of a way. I'm in New York City born woman, so I get that kind of humour. Certainly not to everybody's liking. However they do have some really good semiserious sister sites, like Jalopnik (automotive) io9, and Lifehacker.

10. Huh?

Sorry but I certainly didn't see the satire in the article OR in the hateful, cynical comments section either.

6. It's tongue in cheeck

Their best and brightest writer, Hamilton Nolan, is a HUGE Bernie supporter. You can search his name in Gawker and you'll come up with a bunch of really well written stories/opinions on Bernie.

8. Aside, at an event last fall Bernie also intervened to help reporter Andrea Mitchell, MSNBC

who was almost stampeded in a crowded press area. And she's a small woman. The video of it is on the story thread. I'm sure Mrs. Greenspan appreciated Bernie's assistance, even if she did say on the night of the Iowa caucuses that if HC wins IA and NH it's major yet if Sanders wins it could be tragedy. What professional ethics.
