Why is CNN doing Repug hit jobs that Repugs should do themselves

https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/07/politics/biden-1993-speech-predators/index.html

"Joe Biden in a 1993 speech warned of "predators on our streets" who were "beyond the pale" and said they must be cordoned off from the rest of society because the justice system did not know how to rehabilitate them."

Beyond the Pale really, um I don't think Joe Biden is a racist

CNN and MSNBC are at best Infotainment and nothing more. Which is better than Fox which is Propaganda, but none are worth wasting time upon.

But I suppose CNN had to reach back 26 years for Biden to provide some "both sides" and "balance" for the never-ending lie spew coming out of the White House and the Senate Majority Leader's office.

Such as to question his judgement for his support for the 94 crime bill I'm just a little touchy with this false equivalence with Trumps racism

When he hasn't announced

Polls should include only those who've announced otherwise the media is acting as their exploratory committees
