Pesky alliteration

Hey, kids! Did the lead story at the Fair 'n' Balanced homepage on Saturday look familiar?

As a self-described Democratic socialist, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., has been outspoken about economic inequality.

During his 2016 presidential campaign and beyond, he declared that wealth inequality is “the great moral issue of our time.”

Now that he’s running for president again, the 77-year-old continues to advocate for the poor and middle class, including appealing for a $15-an-hour minimum wage and tuition-free colleges and universities.

And yet, his own net worth is unknown.


Perhaps that's because it was teased under another Sanders story on Tuesday?
Yes, there's an AOC story downpage; your regularly scheduled The Week In AOC will resume shortly. But there are other Democrats to worry about! For example, your lead story on Thursday:
Presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren released her 2018 tax returns on Wednesday, showing she and her husband earned nearly $1 million last year.

The Democrat from Massachusetts used the release to once again highlight a bill she’s pushing that would mandate that the Internal Revenue Service publicly release the tax returns of the president, vice president, presidential candidates and federal officeholders.


Didn't it seem only yesterday that it was good for presidents to have lots of money?
