Nevertheless, can you please interview JH Fearless anyway? All day and all night we keep hearing about purported “violence” at the convention yet there is zero evidence. I was following all day with folks through livestream video and I saw zero violence at any point, and this needs to be better, more fairly covered.

You are though. You are implying this is the zeitgeist of Bernie’s campaign. Meh honesty and level headed reporting doesn’t get clicks.

Briefly, this is a conversation worth a listen (with a guy who authored a book more than worth a read):

You are painting people as making threats when they did not make a threat. Telling someone they are going to lose their job and they are corrupt is not a threat. This coverage is very slanted and it speaks volumes that you refuse to interview someone who was actually there.

I mean I can say I’m a “Bernie supporter” and text a million threats to anyone I please, yet when I get in the booth I vote for Trump and snicker on my way out the door.

I really hate to say this...but people are fed up with the corruption and Lange is part of the problem. When are you people going to realize this is more than Hillary vs Bernie. This is a struggle for social justice in America which Hillary and the DNC are no part of. I personally have been threatened by Hillary

you wanted to understand why they did it. isn’t it obvious? they care. a lot. and they feel that the system is rigged against them with layers of traps and diversions and walls. it is. the thing is, to understand why anyone does anything, you have to understand how the human beings mental functions work. we “feel”

Here is a video of the “chair throwing” incident that keeps being used as evidence of violence by the media, including in this post. As you can see, no actual violence or chair throwing took place, but turning the focus on Sanders supporters has been an easy way to gloss over the procedural wrongdoings of the Nevada

I don’t know how you can call yourself a journalist and open the article with “Thanks to some extremely zealous Bernie Sanders supporters, the Nevada State Democratic Convention this past weekend was a particularly epic disaster

But you directly stated it was the Bernie supporters that CAUSED the problem in the first place, which is completely false. Yes, they may have exacerbated the problem, but the problems were there in the first place, were they not?

To be fair, our nation was founded by people who got violent when they pointed out that the rules weren’t fair and were ignored when attempting to address them peacefully.

I think the cheating, the corruption and the disregard for democracy is way worse than a few nasty tweets and prank calls.

You could at least amend your post to retract the chair throwing. It’s needlessly incendiary and it did not happen. There is a video of it not happening, for crying out loud.

Oh come on. His politics, his stances, his entire life condemns this kind of bullshit. It should be more than obvious that this is counter to everything he stands for.

No, this story is about the fact that you are actively misrepresenting what happened, and perpetuating a narrative that has been discredited. It is NOT about uncovering the truth of what happened.

Can I blame the democratic party for running someone who America has rejected a few times now, and who’s politics seem to be pretty much moderate Republican?

I’m sorry, I have to say something. I’m a Bernie supporter, and a longtime Jezebel reader, AND I was there in the room. I shot some videos that have been aired on major networks, and I actually have a relatively neutral perspective. Could you please interview me for an alternate view of what happened, instead of just
