CNN town hall shows how media edits things in favor of Biden, and against Trump

---- 紐約郵報最新報道

Or even to create, as we saw in CNN and ABC’s town halls this week. Polls show the American people hold similar views of President Trump and Joe Biden; an Economist/YouGov poll of likely voters last week put Trump’s favorability at 45 percent, Biden’s at 50. In the top battleground states, Biden enjoys a polling lead of 3.9 percent, according to the RealClearPolitics.com survey. Yet the networks this week were determined to make it look like America despises Trump and adores Biden, which is why its fakest-of-fake-news “Town Hall” discussions were arranged so that questioners could rain hellfire on Trump and provide opportunities for Biden to appear decent, mature and empathetic.

CNN and ABC’s response, if you asked them about this, would be, “Hey, these are real people! We didn’t tell them what to say!” No, you merely decided which ones would get airtime and which ones wouldn’t.
