Bizarre. The writer thinks the Fail is owned by the Murdoch empire. It is, in fact owned by the Rothmere family and run by Viscount Rothmere via an offshore company based in Bermuda to avoid paying UK tax.:

About a week later, she was in Kansas City with Bernie Sanders for a rally on behalf of labor attorney Brent Welder, with the duo hoping to make the case that even in Kansas, Bernie-and-AOC-style populism can flip a swing district. While there, she also got a lesson into how things typically work in national politics. Corbin Trent, her communications director, got a call from a man saying he represented donors to the organization AIPAC, or the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

They told him there was $100,000 ready to be handed over to Ocasio-Cortez to “start the conversation” with the organization, with much more than that to come. Chakrabarti and AOC both told me they were shocked at the offer. The campaign was flush with cash and it was rejected out of hand. “I was expecting the corruption to be much more subtle,” Trent told me. “This was basically a bag filled with cash.”

The real story behind DSA’s decision to unendorse AOC

A deep dive into the leftist fringe of the leftist fringe.
www.cityandstateny.com www.cityandstateny.com

On Wednesday night, the national leadership of the Democratic Socialists of America announced that it had withdrawn its conditional endorsement of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the best-known DSA member in the country.

In a statement announcing the decision to withdraw its endorsement of Ocasio-Cortez, DSA’s national leadership suggested that the congressional representative’s stance on issues related to Israel and Palestine had cost her the socialist organization’s endorsement.

but...

It’s important to distinguish between the New York City chapter of DSA, which has a close working relationship with Ocasio-Cortez’s office, and the national leadership of DSA, which does not.

As City & State previously reported, NYC-DSA voted overwhelmingly to endorse Ocasio-Cortez earlier this year, with more than 80% of DSA members in the chapter’s Queens and Bronx/Upper Manhattan branches voting in favor of endorsing her for reelection.
