CNN failed to disclose the political connections of audience members who questioned 2020 presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) during his town hall on the network last night, per a report from Paste Magazine.

The leftist outlet found that CNN described Baltimore County Democratic Party Chair Tara Ebersole as a “former biology professor,” Charles County Democratic Central Committee Chair Abena McAllister as “an active Democrat,” a Public Policy intern at DC Cassidy and Associates — a large lobbying firm — as an “American University student,” and an intern at the Katz Watson Group fundraising and consulting firm as a “George Washington student.”

Good old CNN, craven to the bitter end. (Which will be soon as AOC will shut down the airports and where will they get viewers then?)

Do you mind if I bring up the trend of states deciding that all their Electoral College votes will go to the winner, no matter how the state votes?

An ignorant populace is a compliant populace. Too many of our kids haven’t been taught the inherent fairness of the Electoral College, so they buy into the ‘fairness’ of negating the voters in the smaller states. We were taught the beauty of the candidates having to pay attention to ALL the states, not just the most populous ones. I fear for our country. Sorry, I don’t mean to hijack the thread, but this issue seems important and I haven’t seen any articles on the matter. (And I don’t want to do a Vanity as I have been chastised for my vanities )

I’ve seen a couple of posted free republic articles on the subject. You might have to go back a day or two.

Anyway, the Supreme Court will put an end to that madness.

Please go ahead with an occasional vanity. You have my permission, FWIW.

Planted questions. I’ll bet that none of them asked why his socialism would succeed where ALL other attempts failed.

Brought to you by the network who very carefully scripted and manipulated their so called town hall following the murders last year at Marjory Stoneman as to make it a production for more gun control.

Burney is going to have a lot tougher time in 2020.
One on one vs Mrs. Bill Clinton was a pretty easy route.
He’s facing a full squad of looney lefties now, with most having gay/color/gender/commie bona fides.

Because like muslims, whom they love dearly, the libtard media practices al-taqiyya and lying by half truth, omission, being technically correct but avoiding the context and actual reason behind something.
