Elections CNN at it again. Trying to take down Bernie

[ObamaPhoneLady]

CNN is a conservative outlet.

 

[ferrisjso]

Same reaction when the uneducated claim it's a liberal one despite showing nothing but contempt for liberal policies and nothing but love for conservative policies.

 

[SBJJ]

Some of us predicted this

Now it's time for Bernie to call the D and CNN out. But we all know he won't because He's not a fighter

Socialist Jesus gonna get denied three times so that likely means he'll run again in 2024 if he's still alive...

the spirit of a champion :-D

Naw man. It helps Bernie as long as what they are doing is pointed out.

The media attacking Trump helped him too. It gives people a underdog complex. Rallies the troops.

true

But Trump election was surreal. He also lost the popularity vote. Don't underestimate their ability of brainwashing the majority. If the MSM has backed Bernie, he would have won.

Why do you even support Bernie? What is your main reason?

 

[Seano]

CNN is pretty fair most of the time.
.

They are every bit the propaganda machine that FOX news is, maybe even a little worse since Trump was elected.

I kinda agree, but one thing that helped Trump in that regard was his aggressiveness. He ran his campaign against the media and against the status quo in his own party. It makes things ugly when you do that, and Trump doesn't care, but if focuses people's attention on how non-stop political bias in the media is. Bernie lacks that aggressiveness, so I think it makes him more vulnerable to the media. Bernie's temperate response (or complacency) to revelations of DNC bias against him vs Hillary was respectable but also ensures he is unlikely to be president.

It's not enough that the media is unfair to you. You have to fight back.

Pence wasn't given the VP slot for free. This is where the Christian right really showed its usefulness- subverting legitmate criticisms and controlling the narrative is their bread and butter.

Remains to be seen if Bernie, now comfortably relevant, will be willing to go toe to toe. I think he'll need to in order to win, but it's gonna take some honest journalism to help out. I expect the MSM to work overtime to undermine his campaign- again, with assistance from the intelligence communities perhaps with a timely senior advisor or two getting popped for some ridiculous crimes.

Peter may have escaped, but Jesus was still crucified in the end so...Pontius Pelosi already has her finger bowl ready for some prime time absolving of guilt. But who's gonna be the Left's Barabass? Given how Elizabeth has been climbing into the Sanders Ideological Party Wagon of late, she might be one of the three up on a cross with him.

First labor-centric candidate in 70 years

 

[grimballer]

I don't think the race/sex-hustling will work on Bernie.

At a point when a guy like him is deemed racist, or sexist, the society has jumped the shark, and people will know it. You can label a guy like Trump, for obvious reasons, he's basically a lightning rod, but there are probably very few people who are as neutral and completely lacking that sort of an "edgy" or ego-centric vibe, as Bernie.

Him being a old white heterosexual male will be good nuff for progressive standards of today

N of course

The moment he’s accused of any wrongdoing he’ll step aside with his head hanging low

CNN is pure garbage.

Actually it might be best that he doesn't. Let them continue to throw these ridiculous questions at him it only makes them look worse not him.

What has happened to us that so many people support a spineless, cowering clown like Sanders? Fuck.Comb your fucking hair, FFS.

lol you voted for a reality tv star who fantasizes about fucking his own daughter

 

[Seano]

Says nothing of his character.

who fantasizes about fucking his own daughter

Yeah, you know who always comes up with these "fantasies"?

You. People like you make up this weird shit about people, 99.99999999999999 of the time its based on deviant sex of some sort, and then you all agree its something you'll call the right out for.

That's right.

 

[Amerikuracana]

Yeah the corporate media is in charge of keeping things in order for those with billions to keep the middle class in check and in a state of getting ripped off. It's so, so obvious. The way the media has made democrats loyal to big money and the establishment in one generation is disgusting.

I saw this weeks ago. The first shots at universal health Care. You are going to get the attack from both corporate parties, and they will even have influence on the web where you wouldn't expect it.

We need government oversight of medicine, and universal coverage. They lost their morals and ethics, are drug dealers, and we are spending more now. You literally cannot have it so a hospital and health insurance companies HAVE to make a profit to survive. Fails on the most fundamental levels. Health care in America right now is an obscene rip off.

Democrats are now exposed as establishment shills. Deal with it.

CNN accused of stacking audience vs. Bernie Sanders in town hall event

CNN admitted fault on Wednesday after being accused of failing to disclose Democratic Party ties of several attendees who were able to ask 2020 presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders questions during the network’s town hall on Monday.

“Though we said at the beginning of the Town Hall that the audience was made up of Democrats and Independents, we should have more fully identified any political affiliations,” a CNN spokesperson told Fox News.

The CNN event followed other recent town halls featuring Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif; Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn; and potential independent candidate, former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz. But unlike those town halls, many participants who posed policy questions to Sanders appear to have political ties, which was first reported by Paste Magazine.

Tara Ebersole, who asked about Sanders’ plan for universal health care, was introduced by CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer as a “former biology professor,” but her reported LinkedIn page claims her current job is chair of the Baltimore County Democratic Party.

Yunjung Seo, who was described by CNN as a “George Washington student,” is currently an intern for the Democratic fundraising organization, the Katz Watson Group, and was previously a campaign fellow for Hillary Clinton for America according to her reported LinkedIn page. Her question was about how Sanders plans on alleviating student debt.

However, the arguably toughest question of the night was asked by Shadi Nasab, who was referred to as an “American University student” but is also an intern for the left-wing group Public Policy, according to her reported LinkedIn page.

“As we saw in the 2018 midterms, the Democratic Party has become more female, more racially diverse, and younger in age. How can a voter like me feel confident in your ability to represent the party, especially given that your response to sexual harassment allegations during your campaign is that you were ‘a little bit busy running around the country trying to make the case to be elected as president,’" Nasab asked.

Abena McAllister, who was described by Blitzer as “active in Maryland Democrat Party,” was listed by CNN’s chyron as a “mother of two.” However, she is apparently the chair of the Charles County Democratic Central Committee.

So what I notice here is not so much that they didn't disclose who these people were, but how convenient it is that they chose 4 DNC party members to ask these questions. I'm sure it was just happenstance with no collussion between CNN, and these organizations.

Discuss.........

COME ON, man.

This is such a non-issue that it is absurd we're talking about it. Of course there were Democratic Party-affiliated persons present. He's running for the nomination of the Democratic Party. The only reall tough, and arguably unfair, question was proffered by someone who didn't have ties to the Democrats.

CNN is a garbage network with a political angle and cannot be trusted in any sense

 

[ineverpost]

Bernie raised $10M in a week from 350,000 unique donors.

They're scared shitless.

$10,000,000 is jack shit. Illinois' latest gubernatorial election involved $207,000,000 between the two candidates. That is a state election, and now we're talking POTUS.
