So, for those of you who haven't heard, like 20,000 DNC emails were leaked on wikileaks, discussing internal communications between officials in the DNC. I won't link them here, find them yourself, but from what's being discussed on Reddit, the results of this breach basically confirm what we've been suspecting in the Bernie camp for month.
The DNC has been colluding with the left wing media to spin its coverage more positively toward itself and HRC, and negatively toward Sanders. This is very much in line with Chomsky's propaganda model, which discusses how the media often forms relationships with people in power, and this biases media coverage positively toward these centers of power.
The DNC also has a significant anti Sanders bias. Some of this is more benign, in which they simply make him the butt of jokes or call him nasty names behind his back, but at the same time, they also appear to have done things like spy on his campaign, run negative media stories against him, influence discussion in online forums, and even talk about using his religion (or supposed lack thereof) against him. They also seemed to treat Clinton as the presumed nominee, and other candidates with some level of contempt.
All in all, this leak seems to confirm everything we've been suspecting for months. Media bias in favor of DNC narratives, DNC favoring Clinton over Sanders and others. I would not vote for these guys. They clearly don't respect us, and we shouldn't give them our votes.
