Will the California Democratic Party get with the program and appropriately treat Bill Bradley as a right-wing propaganda shill?
He isn’t a journalist, he sold out to Pajamas Media which is the online equivalent of Fox News. Nationally, the Democratic Party is realizing that it is counter-productive to coddle such outlets and it is time for the CDP to follow suit.
“California Democrats — Leading the Way” should be more than a slogan, it should be put to practice by leading other states in the realization that it makes sense for Democrats not to acknowledge propaganda outlets from the other side.
Will the CDP learn from the Fox “News” debate debacle and learn from the Nevada Democratic Party mistakes? In that episode, despite protesting from Bill Bradley, there was a huge grassroots push for our Party leaders to get with the program. The straw that broke the camel’s back was Roger Ailes attacks on three Democratic presidential candidates Thursday night.
In this case, while this should have been done long ago, the CDP has a face-saving way of dumping Bradley once and for all. Late last night, one of the California Majority Report publishers posted something written by one of the other publishers.
In the comments, instead of just discussing his problems with the posting, Bradley took it a step further and implicitly threatened one or both of the Democratic staffers involved by writing, “There are NWN files on everybody.”.
This is the way he operates, we had the same problem with Bill Bradley here.
Cut him off already. Get with the program.
- No press releases.
- No credentials.
- No access.
The Democratic Party shouldn’t care what Pajamas Media writes other than using it as a guide to the latest Republican Party propaganda.
I don’t think this goes against my view of expanding government access to bloggers. I support Bill Bradley’s right to cover our government. But I have a tough time respecting my Party giving access to a far-right concern troll.
