Ted Rall for June 04, 2015

Transcript:

Bernie Sanders is getting grilled over a satirical essay he wrote for an alt weekly paper 43 years ago. (Woman: Why didn't you travel from 1972 to the present so you could write using 2015 politically correct language?) It's the latest example of the media's obsession with turning old trivia into scandal. (Man: Obama always was a careerist- as evidenced by this kindergarten essay: "I want to be president.") Like with Hillary Clinton, they won't stop hounding her about Benghazi. (Man: Is it true that, as secy of state, you were ultimately responsible for the inadequate security at the consulate that led to 4 deaths?) While what you'd really like to see dragged out of her past is studiously ignored. (Woman: Says here you voted for a war that killed a million people just for fun.) Ah, priorities.
