The Times’ Attempt to Create a Bernie–Russia Scandal Is an Embarrassment
Crazy! Bernie Sanders, as mayor of Burlington, Vermont, tried to betray the United States! Wow! Really?
"Nothing in the do ents suggests that Mr. Sanders was the only local American official targeted for propaganda,
or even that he was particularly receptive to it,"
And what year was this taking place?
At the time of Mr. Sanders’s announcement in 1987 that Burlington would seek a Soviet sister city,
several dozen other American cities already had such a relationship or had applied for one.
1987! Well into the period of U.S.–U.S.S.R détente initiated by … ah … let’s see here … Republican president Ronald Reagan?
And what was Sanders’ “antiwar agenda,” anyway?Bernie Sanders was against nuclear annihilation? Quite a scandal we have on our hands
Mr. Sanders reached out to the Soviet Union via an organization based in Virginia,
requesting a sister-city partnership with the Cold War adversary in
an effort to end the threat of nuclear annihilation.
there’s nothing in the piece suggesting Sanders was treated any differently than anyone else in the U.S. who participated—
to spread the idea that Gorbachev also wanted to reduce the threat of nuclear war.

NYTimes headline is really the slanderous hit job, with NO evidence in the article.
From the Slate article:
" Donald Trump, was privately pursuing a real-estate project in Moscow during the 2016 campaign cycle while publicly speaking in flattering terms about Russian president Vladimir Putin.
His top advisers attended a meeting that was pitched to them as an expression of the Russian government’s support for the campaign, and
he benefited from the Russian hack and release of Democratic emails
while advocating for Russia-friendly policy positions on NATO and Ukraine.
His campaign manager shared internal data with a Soviet-born business partner
who was later described by the Department of Justice as having active ties to Russian intelligence, and
his national security adviser resigned after lying to the FBI about efforts to deescalate tensions with Russia over sanctions during the presidential transition.
Eventually Trump was impeached in part for pressuring Ukraine’s new president to announce an investigation into whether Ukraine had framed Russia for the hack of the Democratic emails."
And Trash called 17 US agencies LIARS by disbelieving them about Pootin's interference and by believing Pootin's denial.
But NYTimes slanders Bernie as a traitorous Russian agent?
