Obviously, they have their matching orders. Say it was a draw, regardless of what happened during this debate!
The first thing Wolf Blitzer said was that the debate was a draw. BULLSHIT!!!
This ridiculous CNN poll that gives the edge to Ryan--defies common sense. Every other poll out there gives it handily to Biden.
I don't know who or what gives these paid shills their marching orders, but CNN looks flat out ridiculous tonight!!
I will not tune into CNN for the rest of this campaign, as the organization has become absurd and is driving an agenda that has nothing to do with news or reality.

If they're smart - they throw that out and do another

(413 posts)Cnn poll of registered voters who watched the debate = more republicans watched just like last CNN snap poll.
doublethink
(6,823 posts)clicked on CNN and couldn't believe that silly green line (men) yellow line (women) trending thing at the bottom of the screen, going up at everything Ryan was saying, down when Biden was speaking. Quickly turned to MSNBC ... CNN was a joke all night, they are just finishing off their b.s. coverage I guess. CNN = No credibility at all tonight

Fact checked that fucker on live TV.

(284 posts)The CNN poll was based on responses from 381 registered voters. Interestingly, there was no reference to how many were registered as either Democrats or republicans. The margin of error was +/- 5%. This means that CNN declared Ryan the winner based on a minute and unvalidated sample whose responses fell within the margin of error. Just one more example of how the liberal media is trying to control our thought processes. Sarcasm intended.

(24,411 posts)....because I have never met a right-winger who praises CNN. They hate it. They've got their Fox News, so why would they tune into CNN?
CNN drives me nuts, because they don't know who they are--and every so often they use their channel to further the agenda that their corporate masters demand.
Last night was one of the most egregious and obvious abuses of this false-narrative--that I have EVER seen in the history of CNN.
The first thing Blitzer said after the debate was, "Well clearly that was a draw." Then, each pundit fell in line and they had their little poll to back up their false narrative.
It was disgraceful.
All social media defied what they were saying. Democrats were exploding over Biden's command performance, and many Republicans agreed as well. Every other poll--and there were several--was contrary to CNN's little prop poll.
Disgusting.
