Sneaky, sneaky, sneaky.

Oh Politico! You're going to have to wake up a lot earlier in the morning to sneak a fast one by your humble correspondent. And in this case, Politico tried to sneak a major story change by at 1:18 in the afternoon. What happened is that at 12:48 PM today, Politico published a story about Bernie Sanders staying in the race. That is big news since it means that Sanders will probably stick it out he until he goes to the Democrat convention in late July. However, if you now go to the story, you will see that Sanders will probably exit from the race soon. So what happened? Politico completely changed both the headline and the first couple of paragraphs of the story with a 1:18 PM update to give it an almost completely new meaning. First let us analyze the two headlines starting with the original which was replaced a half hour later:

We know when you’ve been sleeping.
We know when you’re awake.
We know when you’ve been bad or good.

It’s never good.

From an earlier response about uncle burn-me, I noticed a caveat: “...he promised to stay in the White House race through the last primary election next week.” Kinda says it all. The fix for the convention is in and the non-investigation is pretty much at a dead end. The gopE war against women and all that. Simple mistake anyone could make after signing a security statement/agreement. Well, except you and me of course.

More Propaganda from Polutico. Was original author schooled in how to nuance a piece?

Should Bernie get the nomination and Amerika become Kommunist, we can expect mass killings to take place like always happens when communists take over — like in Russia, China, Cuba, Eastern Europe, etc.

From what we are hearing, Sanders supporters from Maine and Vermont are going to the convention armed.

Could get interesting.
