Saturday Shareable: Can you say "Mainstream Media Blackout"?

by Angela K. Durden 

Hey, did you hear about the motion to squash a class-action lawsuit against the DNC for dirty deeds? No?

You can thank the media elite from newspapers to Crunk News Network and all their kin who have either refused to report on it, pretended it does not exist, or — and this is their fave go-to to prove they ain't skeert, as we say Down South — put a topspin on the story that would insure it would sink fast before anybody could take a whack at it.

But Citizen Journalists across the nation are not letting the story die. In our first nutshell, the issues before the court are these:

1. Bernie Sanders supporters know their candidate was shut out of the nomination process by the leadership who broke their Charter about impartiality that the chairperson should exercise. They aren't happy.
2. Democrat contributors found out their donations were misused for things they did not approve, never wanted, and were illegal. They aren't happy.
3. Both donor classes want punitive damages from the DNC.

In our second nutshell, attorneys for Plaintiffs, Sanders Donor Class and Democratic Party Class, say (paraphrased but highly accurate):

Private businesses cannot take money from investors and act stupid with it. It is illegal and wrong because they have a duty to their investors. Neither can private organizations. Sanders supporters and other Democrats all contributed to the DNC because they believed the written charter that delineated the agreement between them and which charter the DNC flaunted by doing dirty deeds, none of which were done dirt cheap.

In the third and last nutshell, here is the brilliant argument from the attorneys for Defendant DNC to His Honor for squashing the motion (again, paraphrased but extremely accurate):

The DNC is a private association. We can do what we want and nobody can tell us how to use the money we get or how to run our bidnezz. Na-na-na-boo-boo, you and they can kiss our whoo-hoos! 

Sound familiar?
