She's no longer gaveling. They took her off of that.
I think it's straightforwardly wrong to say not reacting is prolonging it in the media. And I feel like we know that this is true from looking at the RNC!

But I thought CNN was a liberal news source bought and paid for by the Clinton Foundation! Why would they ever run a story like this?
Reporters don't have anything else to do until tomorrow
Wait until the convention starts. Watching This Week, everyone seems on the same page. Sanders' wants DWS out and she will basically be (she won't be on stage at all). Beyond that, Keith Ellison and Donna Brazile were completely united and Sanders was still super pro Clintln, anti Trump when asked about Jill Stein's offer. The media wants another Ted Cruz moment, but I don't think there will be one. Once everyone starts speaking, it'll become a side story.

I get that, but I don't agree at all that DNC is handling this with maximum efficacy. She needs to resign and have a deputy chair step in.
Bakari Sellers is saying she should resign.
David Axelrod is saying she should resign.
When The Axe is says you should resign, YOU SHOULD RESIGN ASAP.
In Canada, there's a center-left party, a left-wing party and a right-wing party. In modern times, it usually ends up being the right-wing party versus one of the center-left or left-wing parties, both in federal and provincial (generally) elections. Sometimes it starts as a three way tie and the media creams itself, but one of the non-right-wing parties loses support to the other and it becomes a two way race with the third party playing the spoiler (though with the FPTP system, sometimes the impact is minimal). This is possible in Canada, but I think in a county like the USA, two left-leaning parties going at it would be an open invitation to the Republicans to take the White House.
The Democrats will truly be in crisis once the DNC starts and everything goes to plan right? Sanders will speak and he'll talk about Trump and reinforce his support for Clinton.
Not to mention the star power of the DNC itself. DWS isn't even going to be on stage at all and more than likely she'll resign after all this. Media wants another Cruz moment and I highly doubt Bernie gives it to them.

Firing and replacing your Committee chair the eve before your convention doesn't seem like something that would make that narrative go away though. If anything it would fuel it.
They haven't taken her completely out of sight, that's what they need to do.

They don't give a shit about what Bernie thinks anymore, they just talk about what his supporters want.

CNN saying DWS is in a meeting right now to "decide her future"
bye

Exactly. The message out of the DNC during all of this has been pretty unified. There have been compromises and everyone is throwing DWS to the wolves. She needs to go and she will.
The actual event I think will be great and that's what the media will have to talk about. Sure they'll try and tie that email stuff into all of it but largely who knows if it'll matter at that point.

Heh. I have a #bernitdown Facebook friend who just posted that she was in Philly to protest! I generally don't poke fun at her about Bernie, but this is pretty tempting.

You have to remove all the question marks so that the media can't keep the narratives alive throughout the week. Yes, by turning them into periods you'll get the obligatory follow-up stories, but that will pass within a day as the convention starts to roll on.
It's idiotic to say there's cause to remove her from a bunch of duties but not to force her to resign. This isn't Japan, just be done with it.
EDIT: And it is done lol.

No one will lose any tears over her leaving. The Berners get what they want. It's smart to control it though.

Nono Trump's way was better, ignore it and bring in MLP. Then make up someone to take the fall three days later.

In contentious meeting, DWS tried to make the DNC CEO take the fall for the email controversy, per @JohnKingCNN.

Now that Hillary is reading my posts, my advice to her is to send Weaver to the news shows and say he is happy, overjoyed, we can put this shit behind us and now we can focus on defeating Trump. DO IT.
Yeah, I can't find anything about her resigning from the Democratic National Committee, just the Democratic National Convention. It's confusing since they both have the same acronym.

It's as out as it's going to get. Most people don't care. DWS is gone. No one cares about that, because no one likes her. This cuts the elgs out of any furhter leaks because, again, she's gone. The handful of Berners who care wouldn't be happy unless we let them shoot Hillary and Debbie into the sun.
Edit:
Wait, ya, I think people got it wrong
In an email to NPR, the office of Rep. Marcia Fudge said she "has been named permanent chair of the Democratic National Convention."
She's only the permanent chair of the Convention, not the Committee.

Acronyms are dumb and bullshit.

So will Marcia Fudge only run the DNConvention, or will she later take over the whole of the DNC?
