A few years ago, some waggish citizen of the internet decided he would take bits and pieces from horror film “The Shining,” score them to Peter Gabriel doing “Solsbury Hill” and create a trailer for a wholesome, fun, feel-good father-and-son tale, called “Shining.” Everything seen in the trailer really was taken from the movie, but to edit is to distort.
Or even to create, as we saw in CNN and ABC’s town halls this week. Polls show the American people hold similar views of President Trump and Joe Biden; an Economist/YouGov poll of likely voters last week put Trump’s favorability at 45 percent, Biden’s at 50. In the top battleground states, Biden enjoys a polling lead of 3.9 percent, according to the RealClearPolitics.com survey. Yet the networks this week were determined to make it look like America despises Trump and adores Biden, which is why its fakest-of-fake-news “Town Hall” discussions were arranged so that questioners could rain hellfire on Trump and provide opportunities for Biden to appear decent, mature and empathetic.
CNN and ABC’s response, if you asked them about this, would be, “Hey, these are real people! We didn’t tell them what to say!” No, you merely decided which ones would get airtime and which ones wouldn’t.
Anyone who has ever done a vox pop interview in the street knows an essential fact about the pop and their vox: They’re pretty strange.

Illegal campaign contributions. Payment in kind. Does the FEC really not care?

Who thought it would be otherwise. Nonetheless, a large number of LIVs must have noticed, for the first time, that Trump is not the monster that the media has made him out to be. And that he accomplished a lot of good things that they wished a President would do.
CNN is still sore for America dropping bombs next to their posh Baghdad hotel!!
As l said:
Trump does a Town Hall with a rat assassin and a crowd that hates him. Taking random gotcha questions lifted right out of rat attack ads. Biden goes to CNN which speaks for itself.
Those were not random persons. They were democrap operatives. Already been proven.
That being said, literally. At the end of the day.
propaganda and editing have always been the tools of tyrants.
And this back in August: (Censored! Big Tech Silences Over 260 Biden Critics Before Nomination)
Enough of the hate, fear, and lies....sing along and feel good about America, yourself and vote for this POTUS! (MAGA)
Showing CNN viewers they are being lied to is about as fun as spilling the beans about Santa Claus to young children.
The media lies. What else is new?
CNN editing things? I’m shocked! Shocked I tell you.
