CNN Debate Moderator Was Member of Clinton Global Initiative
Weekly Standard ^ | 10/13/15 | Mark Hemingway

Posted on 10/13/2015 10:21:09 AM PDT by struggle

CNN host Anderson Cooper, who is set to moderate tonight's Democratic debate, was listed as a "notable past member" the Clinton Global Initiative's website along with a number of other big name journalists:

The list includes: CNN’s Anderson Cooper and Christiane Amanpour, Fox’s Greta Van Susteren, NBC’s Matt Lauer and Tom Brokaw, New York Times‘s Thomas Friedman and Nicholas Kristof, Fox Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo, Yahoo’s Katie Couric, The Economist‘s Matthew Bishop, and Financial Times‘ Lionel Barber.

The Clinton Foundation later told Mediaite that none of these journalists were asked to pay the $20,000 membership fee required of members. However, it's safe to say that access to big name journalists was a key selling point for paying Clinton Global Initiative members. In a nutshell, Anderson Cooper helped Hillary Clinton raise money, and now he's presented as an impartial moderator for tonight's debate.

Yep and that is what CNN calls objective journalism.

They are nothing but political hacks pretending to be objective journalist.

And they wonder why we revile them all?

And why we wear the George Will-ian badge of "Vulgarins" with honor? The bleeping Clinton Global initiative? Do they people do anything normal? You know, join a bowling league, The Kawanis, Elks, Unico or a Church Committee to do something good in their community?

I bet Hell freezes over, before I give FAUX and Me-again Kelly, and Brett Bair a view, even in a FAUX debate forum.

They built us up, through bones our way, and then bear trapped us, for all the world to see. And, with no apologies.

No thanks. No assist to their agenda and ratings from here.

As for Greta, the Clinton Global Initiative is her game, so lets not be too stupid. I am VERY angry at FOX.

They also stated that they think having candidates attack each other is a waste of time.

They did not think that for the republicans though.
