CNN breaking news!

Last edited Wed Oct 26, 2016, 09:10 PM - Edit history (1)

They are full of shit and have no ethics pushing clintons national poll is closing! 😦😦 The media fucking disgusts me. Let's push one poll that shows its close while ignoring the other that says she is up 14. Makes sense.

They feel "obligated" to be "fair", which is ridiculous when one of the candidates is a psychopath. But, they can't help themselves.

why did I see a Trump ad as I was viewing this thread? Really?! Yes, really.

I read an article by CNN just now on early voting numbers. I would say the article actually leans a little left, just like CNN does.

Not at all. Just trying to push a false narrative to drive up ratings. I mean half the country is voting for that maniac... kinda scary.

What I'm saying is they pick and choose. Have a flashy title of breaking news. HILLARY LOSING GROUND. Completely ignore the other polls and go with one to push a false narrative. Kinda of like every anchor did yesterday regarding the ACA hikes. Neglecting to state the whole truth in that much of the people getting higher premiums would be eligible for subsidies. Tryouts to push a narrative to fit their agenda of wanting a horse race by any means necessary because they want more money.

The CNN banner has been "Breaking News - polls tightening" all afternoon. It's hard not to get anxious. It's going to be a long two weeks!

As somebody who doesn't post much, I really hate to see people calling people trolls who express the fact that they're feeling anxious. This is some scary shit and sometimes people just need to be reassured.
