Readers School Politico Writer on Real Reason for Sanders BLM 'Problem'

Sigh! Once again we are going to have to apply the Koch brothers test when it comes to journalists covering "grass-roots" protests. Here's how it goes: if the Koch brothers were financing an organization that was loudly protesting against candidates opposed by the Koch brothers, wouldn't that fact be highlighted in any story about such protests? Therefore, how can Politico's Daniel Strauss write a story about the Black Lives Matter not only protesting and disrupting Bernie Sanders events but even causing the cancellation of one of his speeches without any reference at all as to who is financing BLM and why.

Fortunately, the readers of his Politico article were quick to point out that which Strauss deliberately ignored. It is the very inconvenient fact of the financial backing of BLM by George Soros who is also (surprise! surprise!) supporting Hillary Clinton. First let us watch Strauss plunge into this story with eyes wide shut before his own readers school him on what he refuses to notice:

With the backing of national civil rights organizations and Mr. Soros‘ funding, “Black Lives Matter” grew from a hashtag into a social media phenomenon, including a #BlackLivesMatter bus tour and march in September.
...Colorlines is an online news site that focuses on race issues and is published by Race Forward, a group that received $200,000 from Mr. Soros’s foundation in 2011. Colorlines has published tirelessly on the activities in Ferguson and heavily promoted the #BlackLivesMatter hashtag and activities.
At the end of the #BlackLivesMatter march, organizers met with civil rights groups like the Organization for Black Struggle and Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment to strategize their operations moving forward, Ms. Solomon wrote. OBS and MORE are also funded by Mr. Soros.

In short all these 'movements' are the SAME organization... the crazy old white man Soros buys differnet groups... Wasn't 'Occupy' also one of his fronts? It IS odd how brain dead 'journalists' buy into the myth that it's still 1968 and all 'the young' are involved AND liberal. What a crock.

George S again. just like his funding of the illegal alien in chief. And just like his funding of the occupy squatters. And just like his funding of the ferguson fiasco. Anyone ever study how the original nazis used street gang demonstration violence and paid-off media stooges in their rise to dictatorship in Germany? That’s where George learned it. And he learned it really well, too

I'm having a lot of fun visiting DummyUnderground viewing the threads concerning the BLM idiots taking over Sanders's events. There are quite a few Dummies who are less than happy about the situation.

Here you had some black morons calling a crowd of probably the most progressive white liberals in the country (who back virtually every demand of the BLM crowd) a bunch of nasty white supremacists.

Even the usually spineless libs on DU were upset enough to fight back against those accusations. Hopefully, there will be some sort of demonstration at the Donkey conventions next year.
