Fuming Bernie supporters: Why is CNN deleting our comments?

By Brian Maloney

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.

every time CNN takes it down. And conservatives are criticizing from the arm chair about how it is nothing new - they always get censored.

CNN is despicable for what it is doing. That's why I don't watch CNN.

CNN has gone clear over to the dark side.

it won't change a thing except to make some people have even more resolve than they had before. It is all good.

Keep it up if you are doing it, if you feel the need. It IS important but in the long run none of this will hurt Bernie (I don't think.....that is kind of a big thing there but we are solid).

Just like DWS. No longer even bothering to pretend the Democratic Party is democratic. This is best and last opportunity to throw the money-changers out of the temple. If we fail, it's over.
