More proof that the media are against Bernie!

http://www.nationalmemo.com/why-hasnt-bernie-sanders-released-his-tax-returns/

Bernie Sanders holds himself out to huge and adoring crowds as a model of personal, political and financial integrity. But when it comes to revealing his income tax returns, Sanders is as tricky a politician as Republicans Ted Cruz and John Kasich.

In this bizarre political year, Donald Trump has shown more candor than Sanders when it comes to his tax returns. That is an amazing and disturbing feat, given Trump’s penchant for exaggeration and just making stuff up, as I have been documenting since 1988. Understand that while Trump has fabricated an excuse for not disclosing any of his income tax returns, he was being more forthright than Sanders, who tries to pretend that he has disclosed his taxes.

What may surprise some is that of the five remaining Presidential candidates, only Hillary Clinton has been completely candid and forthright about her and her husband’s income tax returns, a policy of theirs that dates at least to 1992. Despite her singular transparency, news organizations routinely write, without citing any verifiable supporting facts, about Clinton’s perceived mendacity.

Because Bernie's tax returns probably show that he's one of those evil MILLIONAIRES he's constantly demonizing.

What a surprise, more proof that the popular narrative about Hillary's "untrustworthiness" "lack of transparency", etc. is nothing more than poorly veiled sexism. Or perhaps the old fart white male pundits are insecure about their wives cheating, and project this insecurity onto Hillary Clinton.

Epic fail. The sexism card isn't why she has a 67% not honest and trustworthy rating.

No, the reason is because the right-wing noise machine has peddled this talking point relentlessly  for 25 years and continues to do so with the help of useful idiots like you.

Right, every right-winger thinks that Hillary is a neoliberal hawk.

You know, I've heard stamp-collecting is a lot of fun. Maybe you could try the clarinet, see where that goes. (Get a hobby other than constantly attacking Bernie)

I'm sure that line would have worked great against Republicans if Sanders somehow ended up as the Democratic nominee.

It's probably because he is a liar without an ounce of integrity.

Republicans would actually be supporting a candidate whose views would be nearly the opposite of Sanders'.

Sanders negative and dishonest smear campaign against Clinton has negatively impacted my opinion of him. He's alienating many Clinton supporters that he would need in the general election. It's not surprising that his approval ratings are dropping like a rock with his stock among Democrats falling sharply.

I want to learn more about what's in Bernie Sanders' credit union money market savings account and what nefarious means he used to accumulate his TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.

All I will say is that if Clinton supporters think Sanders is being negative right now, they need to brace themselves for the GE. Bernie's "attacks" on Clinton will seem like a cuddling session compared to the Benghazimail mud Republicans will sling at her.

I don't think any Clinton supporter has any illusions about the general.
It's the Berniebots who think that his current approval will remain the same after Republicans hit him with a couple hundred million ads calling him a Castro-supporting communist who wants to raise taxes to middle-class families and take away their guns.

Except Republicans don't have street cred with the progressive base. Sanders is literally telling lies about Clinton and pitting left-wing voters against her. It's a damn shame and not at all helpful.

Neither does Hillary Clinton. Her campaign is built on corporate money and non-white identity politics.
