Bernie Sanders doesn’t need a PAC. He doesn’t need to do fundraisers with billionaires. The millionaire socialist benefits from a much more sophisticated infrastructure that actively promotes his campaign while targeting his rivals
Bernie's Billionaire: How the Richest Man in Hawaii Funds Bernie’s PR and Opposition Research
If there’s one thing everyone knows about Senator Bernie Sanders, it’s that he hates billionaires.
Now a newly minted millionaire and member of the 1%, Sanders reserves all his old hatred for millionaires, exclusively for billionaires.
Bernie virtue signals about not having a PAC or taking money from billionaires
Billionaires shouldn’t exist, he insists.
And while Bernie virtue signals about not having a PAC or taking money from billionaires, a big
chunk of his media operation is financed by Pierre Omidyar, the founder of eBay, and the richest man in Hawaii.
Omidyar, a Franco-Persian who lives in Hawaii, pledged $250 million to First Look Media. FLM’s signature project is The Intercept, a radical leftist, anti-American, and anti-Semitic media hate site.
And The Intercept has a clear and definite candidate in the 2020 race.
The Intercept’s election coverage is filled with hysterical Sanders cheerleading, recent samples include, “The Power of Solidarity Is How Sanders Will Beat Trump”, “At Iowa Debate, Bernie Sanders’s Biggest Opponent Was CNN”, and “Bernie Sanders’s Secret to Attracting Latino Support.”
But, more significantly, The Intercept acts as the opposition research arm of the Sanders campaign.
Its stories about Bernie Sanders are universally gushing, but its stories about the other candidates are undisguised hit pieces, passed off as journalistic investigations that are recirculated by the media. That includes recent stories about Bloomberg’s plagiarized campaign material and prison labor.
