What do you want to call this? Dinnergate?
A dinner, where people can sit down and talk is a civilized thing to do. Come on man, nobody is going to be bought off by a dinner.
Well, then you have me there. A perfectly done paella with the rice at the bottom just crispy enough to crunch in the seafood-stew is probably grounds for looking the other way once or twice.
I don't disagree with you that a casual dinner would be a civilized thing to do.. if it were between a group of neighbors or friends.. A calculated dinner, held right before the democratic primary, with multiple influential members of the mainstream media is anything but. I would also like to think you are much smarter than to believe something like that was not scripted from the start.

That's fine if you have a differing opinion on what the media is and how they're supposed to act. But you can't complain about my opinion of you holding that opinion of the media.
Reality can be hard to deal with at times.
I don't know man. It's been a long campaign and it's very close to wrapping up. The invite specified "Off The Record" and specified "the bus" of reporters who have embedded with the campaign for months. I bet the dinner will be a great way to blow off the steam. Eight days to go. This hardly sounds like a grand machination to manipulate the press. Dinner at John Podesta's home? I mean come on man.
These dinners took place in April
You've still not grasped the meaning of uncle bob's words
Work together? He didn't even get invited to dinner. Hillary represents the exact opposite of everything Bernie stands for. Big banks and money on wall Street. Billionaires like Trump continuing to receive huge breaks and pay no taxes. With Trump, tax breaks are eliminated, and the 1% start paying their fair share. Taxes go down, and more people invest. The larger our economy, the more skin in the game. The more skin in the game, the more tax revenue collected. Should I keep going, or do you get the picture?
He also like'd your post, does that mean I should discount the content of it?
Again, this is also a big part of the same problem. Do you really want a media that vies to shmooze politicians for access or one that holds them accountable for the bullshit they constantly spew?
