Thank you, Occupy Democrats. I really enjoyed watching this.
This Fox employee started off her Fair and Balanced reporting by leading with this..
"Well, SOCIALIST Senator Bernie Sanders wants this to be a socialist country, and even liberals are blasting his agenda. My next guest says that Socialism is a violation of basic human rights."
Except, not so much. Next time, maybe she'll try to vet her guests a little more carefully.
Notice she jumped right in there when her guest got around to Trump. She was like "Oh crap, I'm gonna be so fired."
It is disgraceful that she didn’t bother to learn the fundamental difference between Socialism and Democratic Socialism, (which is YUGE), before the interview. Fox wants people to believe that Bernie is all about seizing businesses and tightly curtailing both economic and individual freedoms. (All of which, ironically, fits more under a Trump agenda). Here is how Bernie Sanders describes Democratic Socialism:
“… I think it means the government has got to play a very important role in making sure that as a right of citizenship, all of our people have health care; that as a right, all of our kids, regardless of income, have quality child care, are able to go to college without going deeply into debt; that it means we do not allow large corporations and moneyed interests to destroy our environment; that we create a government in which it is not dominated by big money interest. I mean, to me, it means democracy, frankly."
Amen.
One more quibble: I have to disagree over the guest's disparaging remarks on Hillary Clinton. He is using a GOP talking point from Reince Preibus that is disingenuous. Clinton herself never took foreign money, which was implied. Although the Clinton Foundation has accepted money from outside the US, that is a common practice for global charities.
On a side note, assuming Clinton is the nominee, I really hope that she picks Bernie as her veep. He's earned it, and I think that would go a long way to uniting our party—and ensuring good turnout for November. Until then, there is plenty of time for this Fox employee to bone up on her new job.
