. . . "One Democrat institution that's trying hard to turn up the volume is CNN, as it demonstrated during Tuesday's debate. The most noted example of CNN's bias occurred when moderator Abby Phillip asked Bernie a loaded question that assumed facts not in evidence:
CNN reported yesterday — and Senator Sanders, Senator Warren confirmed in a statement — that, in 2018, you told her you did not believe that a woman could win the election. Why did you say that? (Emphasis added.)
"Bernie firmly denied saying any such thing and explained why it was risible to believe he did. After he ended by reaffirming his denial in response to Phillip's final request for clarification, Phillip, without missing a beat, turned to Warren and asked, "Senator Warren, what did you think when Senator Sanders told you a woman could not win the election?" . . .
Gutfeld on the worst debate ever
Rolling Stone: CNN’s Debate Performance Was Villainous and Shameful . . . "This time, the whole network tossed the mud. Over a 24-hour period before, during, and after the debate, CNN bid farewell to what remained of its reputation as a nonpolitical actor via a remarkable stretch of factually dubious reporting, bent commentary, and heavy-handed messaging." . . .
. . . "Lee treated the story as fact, using constructions such as, “Sanders responded that he did not think a woman could win,” and “the revelation that Sanders expressed skepticism that Warren could win.”
. . . "If the network doesn’t see trouble in this, it’s delusional. Voters on both sides of the aisle have changed since the Bernard Shaw days. They pay more attention to media manipulations, and it doesn’t get much more manipulative than punching above the facts to advance transparent political narratives, which is a new and accepted habit in the commercial news landscape.
. . . "We’ll find out in Iowa and New Hampshire what Democratic Party voters believe about that Warren-Sanders meeting, but that grimy story pales in comparison to the bigger picture: Episodes like this are why people hate the media."

Well, not everyone. A young niece had a California school textbook showing CNN was one of the few news sources that was neither left nor right. We posted on it many times including this: CNN: Remember when they called it "the most trusted name in news"?
