If Popehat and the Volokh Conspiracy are the typical sources, I suspect it's a slip of the tongue or mind blown way out of proportion, not some sort of official CNN policy or report.
EDIT: Searching around, all I see are similar sources: Infowars, Breitbart, etc. Maybe he said it (and who knows what the context was), but I don't think see any evidence it was more than a gaff. Certainly I never heard it from them or anyone else.

- hackuser 10y agoI don't know Techdirt, but the others are outlets of the conservative ideological movement. I'm not sure what the Observer article has to do with the issue at hand?
- rokosbasilisk 10y agoIts shows examples of media collusion. If you ignore "conservative media", you may be just trapped in your filter bubble. Its clear this is not a good faith discussion. I voted for Bernie with many other college kids, and we abstained from voting in the presidential when fox news gave us more objective coverage at the dnc protests. It was an truely awakening experience for many of us. just my two cents.
- hackuser 10y agoIt's sad that you have turned a discussion into personal attacks; I'm not going to participate in that.
- grzm 10y agoYou asked for evidence of CNN saying it was illegal to view the DNC leaks. As you've seen, the Chris Cuomo comment is the basis for that claim. Whether or not that's valid is separate.
