CNN caught manipulating its panels [View all]

MeidiasTouch has found out that CNN's panel of "undecided" voters had at least one plant. The one person that said they were supporting trump after watching VP Harris's acceptance speech is actually a trump supporter:

BREAKING: Last night after VP Harris' speech, one CNN "undecided voter" panelist said he'd now vote for Trump. We found his pro-Trump social media posts, including Trump's mugshot and disappointment that Mike Pence didn't overturn the election.

If CNN didn't do a basic check to see if they misrepresented themselves, is there really a difference? JHB Aug 2024 #14
For that kind of interview, I doubt anyone does a deep dive, costly, timely vetting. Silent Type Aug 2024 #15
You don't need to do a deep dive to find out a loudmouth hardcore Trump supporter. JHB Aug 2024 #18
Exactly, laziness misanthrope Aug 2024 #32

Well, exactly how much does it cost to type their name i to google, as niyad Aug 2024 #43
Did you actually try searching under "Bryant Rosado?" You get mostly Real Estate stuff because that's what he does. Silent Type Aug 2024 #44
So three mouse clicks counts as a deep dive these days? LuvLoogie Aug 2024 #50
There doesn't need to be a "deep dive" done, just cursory searchs uponit7771 Aug 2024 #57
As mentioned in Post #44, do a cursory search using their name. You won't find anything unless you do a deep dive. Vast Silent Type Aug 2024 #60
