Backed by a multibillionaire, Hartmann is doing his best to promote Sanders for president. But when will the media report on the billionaire in Bernie's corner?
Kremlin TV Backing "Bolshevik Bernie" for President
Thom Hartmann, a paid agent of the Russian government's main propaganda channel, Russia Today (RT) television, is strongly supporting career politician and socialist Bernie Sanders for U.S. president. "Bernie Sanders could be the next FDR," he says. But it might be more accurate to say that Sanders could be another Alger Hiss, the Russian agent who served FDR as his top aide and helped create the United Nations.
Before examining the curious history of "Bolshevik Bernie," as analyst Trevor Loudon calls him, Hartmann's service to the Kremlin is worth a look. Hartmann praises Sanders for trying "to get money out of the political process," while Hartmann is paid by Moscow and uses a Kremlin TV channel to influence Americans on behalf of the socialist senator from Vermont.
