This is actually good for illustrating how CNN frames their town halls.

Now they believe CNN is against progressives and Sanders supporters, even to the point where they will placate the GOP over them - which is totally ridiculous. As one of the comments said...
CNN is fine when smearing Trump or conservatives according to TYT, but the moment they try their same tricks against a progressive these morons suddenly Care.
However, for educational purposes on how CNN operates, this is a good lesson.


Examples: Woman described as "mother of two" actually is a county Democrat chair. A former biology teacher is actually the Chair of the Baltimore Democratic Party.

Hahahahaha


I told them not to trust CNN. They really hate Bernie as much as they hate Trump. They do not want to see anyone but an establishment approved candidate become President.

They're far more comfortable with Trump because he provides them with lots of money. Sanders on the other hand is pushing hard to get big money out of politics so billionaires can no longer pour unlimited ad money into CNN's coffers. It would be disastrous for corporate media as they would lose alot of the power they have over our elections.

Despite his baseless rhetoric, I knew Trump was never going to be a real threat to America's elitist ruling class. All of the mainstream corporate propaganda "news" networks (CNN, MSNBC, FOX NEWS, PBS, ABC News, CBS News, etc.) lined up to promote him endlessly. Just look at history; the networks tend to ignore and silence the ones who they feel are the biggest threat to their agenda (i.e. Ron Paul in 2008 and 2012).

I gather you weren't actually around in 2016-when all the MSM (including to an extent FOX) did nothing but attack Trump for months. Every time they discussed him it was either to paint him as a joke, someone with no chance of winning, or to make up stories about "corruption" in his business dealings. Or focus on his handful of corporate bankruptcies while ignoring the hundreds of successful businesses he is associated with.

I also gather you didn't watch the election results when anchors on those "mainstream corporate propaganda networks" were literally in tears when Trump won the election. Or that you missed how the economy was going to crash upon his election.

I appreciate your effort but that doesn't disprove anything I said. You may now crawl back to your safe space with your Play-Doh and crayons.

Let's see.
  • CNN bills a "Town Hall" as a way for ordinary people to meet and ask questions of a political candidate asking for their vote.
  • Establishment political hacks are "seeded" into the crowd to ask questions designed to make Bernie look bad.
I'd say that shouldn't be too hard to figure out. Admitting it however requires some honestly.
