Sanders' Wife: Media Should 'Illuminate Facts, Not Fan Flames'

[ducks]

CNN's Wolf Blitzer and Jane Sanders, wife of Sen. Bernie Sanders, argued Thursday about media responsibility in the wake of a gunman's horrifying attack on congressional Republicans at a suburban Washington baseball field.

The gunman – mortally wounded by police during the siege – wrote on social media he was a supporter of the Independent Vermont senator, and Blitzer asked Sanders if her husband went too far in once describing President Donald Trump as the "worst and most dangerous president in the history of our country."
"I don't think so," she responded, adding: "We have to be able to discuss the issues without demonizing the opponent and honestly, Wolf, I think the media needs to look at itself as well."

"The media characterizes every conversation as an adversarial one," she scolded. "Your job, the media's job, I think, is to illuminate the facts, not fan the flames. And the media continues to cover the latest scandal, the latest back and forth, but not the issues so much."

Like the unmasking shit which was a LIE from the beginning, this attack on Ms. Sanders was started by Repug.

"From 2004 until 2011, she had been the president of Burlington College, a liberal-arts institution, which had about a hundred and forty students and held classes in what had once been a supermarket building. In 2010, she launched an ambitious campaign to expand the college and relocate it to a large property, owned by the Roman Catholic Church, on the waterfront of Lake Champlain. To help secure a $6.7-million bank loan to buy the property, Burlington College declared that it had $2.6 million in confirmed pledges. In 2011, Jane Sanders left the college. The bulk of the donations never materialized. In 2016, Burlington College closed.

Early last year, just before the primaries began,

a Republican lawyer in Vermont, Brady Toensing, filed a complaint with the U.S. Attorney’s office, asking for an investigation into whether Jane Sanders had committed federal loan fraud.

Sometimes pledges simply don’t come through, and so one essential question is whether the college, and Sanders, knowingly inflated the promises. In July, the Washington Post reported that federal prosecutors had obtained some of Burlington College’s records, and, citing a grand-jury investigation, issued subpoenas.

Toensing had also suggested that the Senator’s office had intervened to pressure the bank to issue the loan,

but he has not offered compelling evidence for the allegation.

That overreach, together with Toensing’s prominence in Republican politics, suggested that

the controversy might never have become public had Sanders not run for President.

“I find it incredibly sexist that basically he’s going after my husband by destroying my reputation,” Jane Sanders told the Boston Globe. "
