Sanders Supporters Shocked to Find Bias at CNN

Posted on 01/16/2020 7:18:53 AM PST by Conserv

When the CNN moderators gave Sanders the Trump treatment, the outraged ululations of the Left could be heard from sea to shining sea.

Rolling Stone’s Matt Taibbi tweeted, “This is an unusually vile performance by CNN.”

The Nation’s Elie Mystal raged, “Jesus Christ I hate these biased questions from the moderators. ‘How would you keep your plan from bankrupting the country?’ JUST ASK THE KOCH BROTHERS TO MODERATE NEXT TIME!”

HuffPost’s Zach Carter griped about CNN’s post-debate panel discussion, “CNN’s crew is just straight bashing Sanders post-debate.”

The New Republic’s Libby Watson whined, “CNN is truly a terrible influence on this country.”

Hmm … Where have we heard that before? Oh, that’s right. Conservatives have been making the same point for decades, only to be sneered at by progressives who insisted that such claims were conspiracy theories. In reality, it has long been obvious that CNN operates more like the PR department for the Democratic National Committee than a legitimate news outlet.

The last time Sanders ran for president, CNN commentator Donna Brazile gave Hillary Clinton advance copies of debate questions during the Democratic primary. It was CNN’s Candy Crowley who jumped in to back up erstwhile President Barack Obama on a brazen lie about Benghazi during a debate with Mitt Romney.

The DNC is terrified of Sanders. They know he doesn’t have a prayer of beating Trump and that the latter would like nothing better than to run against an unrepentant socialist. The problem is that Sanders is doing better than expected in the polls, particularly in Iowa and New Hampshire. If he beats Biden in either or both of those contests, his chances of winning the Democratic presidential nomination will rise dramatically.

Progressives are pathologically self-centered liars, IOW, Sanders supporters will be angry about this, Warren supporters will at most silently smiling. Both crowds supported Hitlery in her bid in 2016, and would do so again, but Clinton Non News has been her familiar for a long time.

So basically CNN is the Houston Astros of news channels

Except the owner of the Astros fired the people who misbehaved

The Jerk Owners of CNN aren't firing anyone, in fact, they probably support what CNN is doing

CNN - THE LEAST TRUSTED NAME IN NEWS

Exactly, he could have burned the dem establishment to the ground with all the dem fraud and corruption that came out during the 2016 election, instead he clammed up, took his cut, and put his mouth where the money was...silence....that's right, instead of being this "new, principled, standard-bearer rising from the ashes"...he chose to be just another paid political stooge for the est. upper-class swamp.

Bottom-line, he's nothing but a gov. leeching, two-faced fraud who's never worked a REAL job in his life.

His followers are drones who have NO interest in being independent-minded...individuals.

...more like brain-fornicated lost dogs looking for someone to take their leash.

Bernie only joins the Democrat party to run for the White House. He calls himself an independent in other years. Does he campaign for any Democrats?

Twenty One quiz show scandal is more appropriate. And Red Sox cheated to a championship

Senator Lieawatha Warren is just as radical and anti-American as Senator Burn Boy.
