CNN has long been criticized for what many view as overtly hostile coverage of Sen. Bernie Sanders that goes back to the 2016 election where the CNN openly seemed to favor Hillary Clinton in her bid for the nomination. Yet, even for the most hardened critics of the network, yesterdays debate in Des Moines was breathtaking in its unrelentingly negative questions of Sanders followed up relative softballs to others like Sen. Amy Klobuchar. However the lowest moment of this or any debate this year occurred when CNN reporter Abby Phillips made Sanders repeat his outright denial of the allegation by Elizabeth Warren that he told her that no woman could be president and then immediately stated that Sanders did make the comment in her next question to Warren. In watching with a room filled with people who are not affiliated with Sanders, Phillips statement led to loud gasps and Sanders himself seemed dumbfounded on stage by the bias shown by the CNN reporter. Later, Warren appeared to refuse to shake the hand of Sanders.

Actually, I thought it was kinda’ neat!
Cnn: Mr Sanders do you still beat your wife.
Sanders: Yes, No! What?
Cnn: Ms Warren, how do you feel about Mr Sanders continued abuse of his wife?
Why should CNN, An Entertainment Network, be held to any standards?? If they were a News Outlet, you might have a valid argument, but they aren’t.
Bernie is right. Name a woman who could bear Donald Trump in 2020. You can’t do it. Who is left?
It’s Plugs turn Bernie, didn’t you get the memo?
CNN got their marching orders from the Deep State to do a number on Sanders again just like in 2016. It seems all the establishment RATs and a growing number of their voters are beginning to unite behind Slow Joe!
I watched a lot of their coverage following the debate. Every single CNN commentator was depressed saying that this performance did not demonstrate any candidate who can take on Donald Trump. I was watching a little bit of the end of the debate and couldn’t agree more. They were intensely boring and that carried over into their post debate interviews. The CNN people kept repeating again and again that the democrats have to step up their game they cannot defeat 1 of the most formidable campaigners in American history with this group.
Exacly right. CNN is not a bonafide news outlet. It is basically a running infomercial for the DNC.
They’re all Communists. Not just Sanders.
Sanders got the rug yanked out from under him once already. You think he’d know what to do ... or at least what to expect...
Which of those candidates can attract 20,000 people to a rally on a couple of days notice?
I don’t think Bernie really cares. He’s going through the motions (again) for the Big Payday. What will it be THIS time? He’s got all the houses; maybe a big pallet of cash delivered in the dark of night?
*SNORT*
They’re all insufferable Commies...but they sure are good at fleecing their stupid base! Cha-CHING!
They’re all low-hanging fruit.
Bernie offered to shake Warren’s hand after the debate—and was offered a fist instead.
Womyn’s Power!
The squaw is on the warpath!
How will it affect the dozens of people who watched?
One classless liar squaring off with another classless liar. That’s the Liberal way-cheesy, trashy behavior and NO class.
Pretty bad when even the dems are calling CNN fake news.
Off to the Goulag with CNN.
