The explosive excerpts from former DNC Interim Chairwoman Donna Brazile's new book - the aptly titled "Hacks: The Inside Story of the Break-ins and Breakdowns That Put Donald Trump in the White House" - just keep coming, with today's bombshell arriving courtesy of the Huffington Post. In an ironic twist, considering Clinton's feminist bona fides, Brazile dishes on the sexist behavior that a certain all-male cohort of senior Hillary Clinton aides displayed toward her when she was running the DNC.

There is ample talk, particularly of late, about the threats posed by social media to democracy and political discourse. Yet one of the primary ways that democracy is degraded by platforms such as Facebook and Twitter is, for obvious reasons, typically ignored in such discussions: the way they are used by American journalists to endorse factually false claims that quickly spread and become viral, entrenched into narratives, and thus can never be adequately corrected.

Donna Brazile's shocking revelations about how the Clinton campaign rigged the 2016 primary to favor Hillary and disadvantage the insurgent press of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders have exposed a divide in the Democratic Party that is manifesting itself in the stark difference in tone between establishment figures, who've crticized Brazile and sought to rebut her claims, and members of the party's progressive wing, who've offered messages of support.

As it turns out, Donna Brazile’s accusations about the Clinton campaign - contained in several excerpts from her upcoming book that somehow found their way into the hands of reporters at Politico and the Washington Post - are also Vladimir Putin’s fault.
