The
Washington Post has a problem with Bernie Sanders. Since March
18, the newspaper has run no less than 10 anti-Sanders op-eds — and
its agenda approaching the 2020 election has become glaringly
obvious.
The
recent spate of anti-Sanders screeds was highlighted on Twitter by
columnist and Sanders campaign advisor David Sirota, who posted
screenshot images showing a selection of the headlines in question.
"The
press can't let Sanders duck the hard questions," demands one.
"Bernie Sanders has emerged as the Donald Trump of the left,"
declares another.“Electability' and 'Bernie' don't belong in the
same sentence,” argues another.
Of the
10 pieces, five of them were written by conservative columnist
Jennifer Rubin who seems to have developed a laser-focused hatred of
the Vermont senator. The remaining five were posted by a selection of
other writers.
The
column labelling Sanders the “Trump of the left” was widely
mocked on Twitter, where it was noted that author Dana Milbank’s
wife work’s for Democratic presidential candidate John Hickenlooper
and that comparing the two men based on their “weird hair”
probably wasn’t a great road to go down (Milbank referred to
Sanders’ “crazy hair” in the critique).
