Three in the Bed: Media Collusion with DNC and Hillary Leaked

My guest today is journalist Tom Cahill, a contributing editor who writes for US Uncut and an active member of the Occupy movement.

Joan Brunwasser: Welcome to OpEdNews, Tom. You wrote a recent piece,EXPOSED: Leaked Emails Show DNC Colluded with Media to Push Clinton Nomination. This sounds like a major story. Can you get us started, please?

Tom Cahill: Hi, Joan. Thanks for the introduction. And yes, this is likely the biggest untold story of the 2016 primary. In a nutshell, hacked DNC emails that were leaked by a hacker who calls himself "Guccifer 2.0" showed that the DNC was favoring Hillary Clinton as early as May 26, 2015. This is significant, as Bernie Sanders entered the race as a Democrat in April, so the party had known about Sanders' candidacy for over a month at the time the email was written. The DNC is supposed to be an independent arbiter of primaries and caucuses and not actively get behind a candidate until after the national convention. These emails show that Debbie Wasserman Schultz's constant claims of neutrality were completely false.
