Progressives discover...media bias exists?

[Nightshade]

Seems quite a few were in shock today when CNN skewed its coverage to promote Mrs. Clinton over the clear "winner" of the debate by actual polling of their viewers.

CNN's headline right after the debate:



And:

When in reality- Bernie "won" by CNN's own LIVE Facebook polling:

Seeing their comments repeatedly deleted by CNN, Bernie Sanders supporters are hopping mad today.
Already feeling the news network’s coverage had become rabidly pro-Hillary in the aftermath of last night’s debate, Facebook users leaving reactions on CNN’s page are now continually re-posting them, knowing they will be quickly removed. There are hundreds in a seeming battle with the network, with no explanation as to why.
Some users and messages appear to be specifically targeted, especially those accusing CNN of having conflicts of interest that make it naturally inclined to back Hillary.
In particular, they’re citing last night’s initial Facebook poll data showing Bernie had won the debate handily. They are claiming the network is now burying that information in today’s coverage.

Why do you think the term “Clinton Network News” was coined back in the day.

[callmeslick]

yeah, everyone who is a political wonk knows the Time Warner brass are in the Clinton camp, firmly. I found it funny that they showed so LITTLE political savvy in this day and age.

I can't believe more people haven't been outraged by this naked bias by CNN.

The bias has been known for years, and anyone who cares as since stopped watching that channel.

The pen is mightier than reality.

Oh, as a aside, will there be a Dem debate hosted by Fox news?

don't get out much, do you? It was probably in the top 5 trends on Facebook and Twitter for 24 hours now.

not aware that they have offered(either side) one up.

[callmeslick]

on the other hand, CNN doesn't give us 'experts' who are pathological liars:

curious how the Dems are afraid to go in front of the Fox people. Guess the Dems wouldn't look as civilized there.

didn't read the part about EITHER side offering? I don't think Fox has offered time. If I were a Dem, I'd love the chance. Obama appeared on Fox, so has Bernie Sanders.

Nor do they give us the likes of Brian Williams or Dan Rather

[callmeslick]

no comparison.

[woodchip]

Only in your eyes

[callmeslick]

well, mine and every other person with fuctional grey matter.

Again, slick can't give any real discussion other than too ply his usual character attack. Now if you are looking to get the topic closed I can play that game better than than you but out of respect for TB I won't.

If you guys were aiming for a thread closure, feel free to call this a success.
