Shameful, but completely expected.

Lol, of course a paper owned by Mort Zuckerman is going to endorse the establishment choice. Sad!

It wasn't Mort Zuckerman who came unprepared for the interview.

Not this again. The interview was a hit piece designed to trap Sanders in a bad light.

Daily News asks who would decide to break up the banks, Sanders answers the Treasury Dept through Dodd-Frank, as Clinton had also stated. Daily News then awkwardly, repeatedly brings up the Federal Reserve (not part of the question nor Sanders' answer- and in fact does not have the authority) and Sanders is understandably caught off guard cause the Fed has nothing to do with his plan for the banks or the overall question. It was a manipulative interview and in terms of journalistic integrity, the NY Daily News should be taken just as seriously as Fox News.

lol, if he knew that the Fed has nothing to do with it (which he didn't, but let's indulge this nonsense) he could have just, you know, corrected them or explained that it has nothing to do with it.

Yeah. For once, Leif has a point. Even if Sanders was clueless on the fed's role, he at least should have said some Paul esque "audit the fed" talk to get past the question. Saying he didn't know leaves him incredibly exposed and may have lost him the endorsement.

As for that, I'm glad he relented that he didn't know the 'right' answer to their gotcha question instead of compounding some politician-like dodge.
