MEDIA MANIPULATION: DNC leaks reveal NY Times, MSNBC helped sabotage Sanders
Even before the DNC Wikileaks scandal, we knew the NY Times was biased against Bernie Sanders. But in alarming email exchanges, the DNC claimed they were able to get NY Times reporter Nick Confessore to NOT report on the controversial Hillary Victory Fund, a joint effort of the DNC and the Hillary campaign.
The DNC prepared talking points, excuses and legal defenses to respond to claims that the HVF was bundling campaign donations to skirt legal limits (a "money laundering conduit" according to Politico. Walmart's Alice Walton and Hillary's other billionaire donors could now give 33 times the max donation, all in one convenient envelope.
As George Clooney noted, the donation amounts were "obscene", but to make them legal, they were routed through the HVF to get around campaign finance laws prohibiting the wealthy from giving exorbitant amounts to a single candidate. The DNC did not want this to get out during the primaries.
