WaPo at it again

washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2017/10/02/bernie-sanders-claim-that-the-worlds-six-wealthiest-people-have-as-much-wealth-as-half-the-worlds-population/?utm_term=.9f99d3efb158

If you needed any more proof that wapo is a garbage rag that can never be trusted, here it is.

The gist of it: Sanders made a verifiably true claim, the article ADMITS that it's true, but then still rates it "three pinnochios" because of some bullshit nitpicking about how debt isn't really a problem for poor people and the fact that the stock market exists. I quote:
Here's some more nuanced analysis:
It's genius, really. You can literally admit that your entire hit-piece is a lie and not even pretend to be honest, but call it a "fact-check" and copropghagic libs everywhere will blindly accept it as part of their "evidence-based policy" religion.

It is basically dead. Nowadays it only survives because billionaires treat it like a vanity project.

SOME SOCIALIST
HE OWNS THREE HOUSES
WHAT A HYPOCRITE
*sucks nutritive jelly made of liquefied syrian children with toxic chinese plastic filler through a metal straw sticking into its cage*
MY PAYMASTERS THAT MAKE MORE IN A DAY THAN MILLIONS OF PEOPLE COMBINED WILL MAKE IN TEN YEARS ARE BLAMELESS
THE SHIFTY JEW CROOKED SENATOR LYING FRAUD SCHEMING SOCIALIST AND THE $400,000 DOLLARS HE AND HIS WIFE HAVE ACCRUED OVER A LIFETIME OF WORK AND SERVICE ARE THE REAL VILLAINS

...

Even more inane, considering that the official US poverty line of $24k/year puts someone in the top 2% globally:

This phrase needs broader usage.

Thank you based CIA rag for exposing that pinko scumbag sanders *votes trump*

Especially fitting considering how obsessed liberals are with feces and bathroom humor.

what do you expect? wapo is the whore of bezos, the amazo porkie. if you really expect unbiased news from a source like that nobody can help you.

>WaPo doesn't know that "technically correct" is the best kind of correct.
COMMISSAR! Bring me the requisite forms to request that those involved are transferred to the most adequate available gulag.

Tfw when you are a burger on half that money.

TBF, while that is absolutely terrible, the figure I used is supposed to be for a couple with two kids. For an alienated incel doomed to go extinct without progeny, it's $11k/year.

All I'm getting from this is that Bernie Sanders is right (again) and WaPo are pissed that he's isn't rotting in a ditch somewhere.

You peons should be grateful that you have the opportunity to take on so much debt! People in India aren't even allowed to go into that much debt.
