Elizabeth Warren was silenced from personal attacks on Sessions during his confirmation hearing by reading a 30 year old letter from Coretta Scott King.
#1 Senators don't have free speech to attack other senators on the Senate floor and can legally be silenced from doing so on the floor. However, this rule does not apply if Warren was anywhere else: at the supermarket, on CNN, on the sidewalk, etc...
#2 The GOP should have just let her attack sessions as A) it was his confirmation hearing so most attacks are reasonable and B) liberals and the MSM would scream bloody murder (which they did).
The republicans rightfully or wrongfully took a beating for legally per Senate rules stopping Warren from personally attacking Sessions. Due to this beating that the GOP took - the GOP decided not to invoke the same rule today as multiple Democrats did the same thing Warren tried to do yesterday.
...So CNN, with its shrinking credibility notices that the Democrats who attacked Sessions today and were allowed to do it were all male...and then ran the front page main headline earlier today that read "Warren's male Senate colleagues read King letter uninterrupted."
Rather than drawing the logical conclusion that the Republicans were #1 Taking a beating from legally silencing Warren since it is a confirmation hearing and #2 were drawing more media attention to the attack on Sessions so that they would conclude to just let the attack happen from whoever would make it...CNN draws the conclusion that Warren was stopped because she is a woman and the male democrats were able to attack the next day as they are men.
I actually watch CNN more than any network overall...no more...this is pure BS and they constantly are pulling it - while giving Hillary debate questions.

Didn't CNN and the liberals attack Betsy DeVos the entire day?

I am not sure if it is common for one senator referring other senator as disgrace. I doubt anyone is referring Session like that today. CNN or any other MSM are not going to discuss her initial disgrace reference taken from Kennedy article. That being said, there was no need to ban her. She was almost done her speech. Anyway she is wasting her time on lost cause. If she can't stop Davos, there is no way she is going to stop anyone. It might actually help her to build some momentum with the help of MSM.

I agree.
The GOP should have just let Elizabeth Warren violate Senate floor rules. At least Warren's violations were about a confirmation hearing.
Now CNN through ridiculous attacks is making her the victim of phantom sexism. Warren already has an email about it for fund raising.

To successfully run for president in America you need around $1 billion dollars in campaign funds. Could you, your family, or any of your friends raise $1 billion dollars to successfully run for president? https://www.washingtonpost.com/graph...paign-finance/
Fact is to become president of America you need to be a billionaire or deeply connected to the large corporations that fund our political campaigns. And our television networks are owned by the same billionaires and large corporations that give our politicians their campaign money. And former television executives and propaganda experts call ALL of our major news networks "corporate propaganda."
But America's political right fully ignores and covers up the money, billionaires, and large corporations that control our government and TV networks. And instead republicans attack the liberal TV news networks.
But the irony is the conservative networks are worse than the liberal networks. About 60% of the things Fox news reports as facts are actually untrue, while CNN greatly outperforms Fox news on accuracy with 80% of the things they say being at least 1/2 true. ‘Pants On Fire’: Analysis Shows 60% Of Fox News ‘Facts’ Are Really Lies
Shouldn't we as American citizens be talking about how all of our TV networks are considered by experts to be "corporate propaganda", or talking about how all of our TV networks are owned by the same large corporations that give our politicians billions of dollars?
