Maybe read. edit: it's rather weird to assume btw that a campaign "forgets to file paperwork". Did that ever happen before? Honestly asking?
I read that "the party" as in "the Democratic party". Seems odd to use "the party" to refer to "Sanders' campaign" in that sentence. But I'm not sure how the process to get on the ballot works.

Yeah, it's the democratic party. Basically, if you want to be precise, neither Hillary nor Bernie should pop up. Both were too late, and they were submitted together.
edit: if you believe the democratic party, that is. The D.C. board said bernies submission arrived a day after hillaries.

Also worth pointing out that both candidates are late, but some private citizen filed against Bernie. Someone could do the same to Hillary. I'm sure they'll resolve the issue no harm no foul and both candidates will appear on the ballot.

Maybe it's because i don't really pay attention to the WT - so it's possible that their journalism is sub-par.
In this case, they didn't dick around though, at least to me the article seems decently written. If an article states its sources by name (and prominent ones, on top) - it's safe to assume it's correct (edit: at least safer), rather than made up. There's no "anonymous person told us" etc bullshit in there.

BBC and Economist top out the charts. You know.. British news outlets.

That's besides the point though, we established now that the WT is usually ass (i can't argue there since i don't follow them and the front page does look.. "populistic") - but the article is decent. Now lets find out what happened. Or rather, speculate.
edit: didn't see your edit, yeah - i'm pretty sure both pop up on there, too.

There was a poll on the WT.com homepage regarding the comparitive threat of ISIS and climate change. ISIS was winning by an insane margin. I just don't understand it. Maybe someone here thinks ISIS is a real threat to America and fill me in. How does ISIS destroy America? Leaving the tap on until the nation is underwater? Flooding the East Coast with so many immigrants that the country capsizes into the Atlantic? Like how does this play out?
There was a neither option for climate change deniers but like 70% of people said ISIS.

Err, that's the Washington Post you're referring to I think... the one next to NYT? As an aside, I also think WaPo has dived in journalistic quality-- they were struggling a lot a little while back, Jeff Bezos (Amazon guy) bought it and now it leads in traffic... but the quality has gone down quite a bit and it's clear that making money has become more important than journalism. I like the NYTimes a lot-- content tends to be good, and they don't seem to have much of an agenda. NPR is good as well. WSJ is good, blogs are a bit of a cesspool though. I think the nature of WS is you can't have agenda, you have to be very facts based.
I do agree with the poll results for the most part based on what I know.

WSJ has very far-right editorials (it's Murdoch owned) but the news is decent.

Barack Obama on Wednesday commuted the sentences of 61 federal prisoners, all of whom were being held on drug charges.
This announcement came one day after the president criticized the previous American policy of engaging in a “war on drugs”, telling a conference on the opiate epidemic: “For too long we’ve viewed drug addiction through the lens of criminal justice.”
Those who received reduced prison terms on Wednesday were primarily charged with distribution of drugs and had been sentenced when the government was most aggressively prosecuting people with drug charges, a tactic that disproportionately punished men of color.
Jesse Webster, of Chicago, was among those whose life imprisonment was commuted on Wednesday. He was sentenced on 21 March 1996 for cocaine charges and filing two false income tax returns.
Webster’s experience was captured in a December 2013 New York Times article that included a letter Webster sent to Obama. “You are my final hope,” he wrote to the president.
Webster, a former cocaine dealer, turned himself in once he learned the police were looking for him. The prosecutor offered leniency if Webster became an informant, which he declined, and he was eventually sentenced to life in prison.
The person who served the longest term is Robert Lee Lane, of Bradenton, Florida, who was sentenced for possession of crack with intent to distribute on 3 May 1990. His life imprisonment was commuted to 28 July, the same date most of the people on the list will be released.
Others’ release dates were scattered, culminating in March 2017, when Ismael Rosa, of Chicago, will be released after being held on cocaine charges.

I feel like Obama just keeps laying the groundwork for a final mic-drop end of the war on drugs. Now that'll be a legacy.

Doesn't matter how shitty the WT is, if they get the facts straight and the (undisclosed by you btw) other source doesn't. I could have been more careful, but my experience is the WT is more than willing to stretch the truth and spin things and is generally lousy journalism, thus I trust it less. I think that's a pretty decent assumption to make, this is a broken clock is still right a couple times a day situation. I made a mistake in this situation, yeah, but I maintain that WT is lousy. Also worth pointing out that both candidates are late, but some private citizen filed against Bernie. Someone could do the same to Hillary. I'm sure they'll resolve the issue no harm no foul and both candidates will appear on the ballot.
It's only like the 5th time you've repeated Hillary&co talking points just to be shown that they aren't accurate. You'd figure sooner or later you'd stop believing what you're hearing over there.

It was some local news site I saw, so not a talking point.
I'm more than solid on the issues and the records, so I'm pretty happy with that. We all make mistakes, and yes, that means you too.
BTW Sanders clearly jumped the gun on there being an NY debate. Silly of them to put out a press release, literally no one else has picked it up.

Yeah ok, blame a mystery site. Probably what happened every other time too... Just because the talking point passes through an intermediary, doesn't make it not a talking point.
She's going to debate in NY so I really don't think it's too soon at all. She's just trying to figure out how to make it seem like her idea/that she didn't just cave.

The U.S. Supreme Court said Wednesday that the federal government cannot, before trial, seize the assets of the accused if those assets are unrelated to the crime and are needed to pay a defense attorney.
The court's ruling came in the case of a Miami woman named Sila Luis, who was accused of Medicare and banking fraud. Prosecutors charged that she used kickbacks and other schemes to fraudulently obtain $45 million.
She had $2 million left when prosecutors, believing they would eventually need the money for restitution, got a court order seizing all of her assets — those related to the crime and those unrelated.
Luis challenged the asset-seizure order on grounds that she needed the untainted assets — those assets the government conceded were unrelated to the crime — to hire a lawyer for her trial.
A Supreme Court majority agreed that allowing the government to take her untainted assets would violate her Sixth Amendment right to counsel of her choice.

Yet Hillary is so scared after saying presidential candidates should be willing to debate anytime anywhere...
