Democrat Analyst Calls CNN Out for Labeling Biden, Buttigieg as 'Moderates'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

It's one of the oldest games in the liberal media's playbook: trying to pass off liberal Democrat candidates as "moderates." CNN ran the con this morning . . . but an interesting Democrat actually reminded viewers of the truth: that the so-called "moderates" are actually to the left of where Barack Obama was when he first ran for president.

CNN's New Day devoted a segment to the question of which Democrat Iowa caucus-goers might choose if they're looking for a "moderate." The supposed "moderates" mentioned by host Alisyn Camerota and reporter Jeff Zeleny were Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, and Amy Klobuchar.

CNN got caught running the old con of passing off liberal Democrats as “moderates.”

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

The little CNN liars do that every election... They work with corrupt liberal ‘elites’ to con everyday Americans.

We are all Richard Jewell...

My handy-dandy Newspeak media translation guide for political ideology labels:

Media labels vs. Reality:
Blue = Red
Socialist/Left-wing = Stalinist
Liberal = Marxist
Moderate/(Centrist) = Socialist
Conservative = Liberal
Far-Right = Moderate
Ultraright/Racist/Bigot = Conservative Mainstream


These guys are hard-core totalitarian leftist Communists. Buttgiggity was Stalinist-raised.

They are moderate if you consider Bernie and AOC just slightly left of center.

I just love it when these LIARS paint these commies as moderate mainstream candidates. EVERYTHING they stand for is a plank in the communist manifesto. Oh,and I love the phrase “collective”.
Ain’t that great?

Hey, they too trust the plan, but it's a different plan. During their trial, they will say,"I vas jus following orders."

Quite a platform to brainwash the masses. This is CNN.

What is called left, right, and moderate have been moving left for decades. None of the Republicans since Bush I can be called conservative until Trump, and he is not what one would call a traditional conservative. Democrats have always been radicals, they just used to hide it better.
