>CNN is not dictating what its personnel report
this is incredibly naive.
>it's certainly not coordinating forced fake "reporting"
CNN itself may not be the coordination center, but leftist media does coordinate its reporting, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JournoList https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JournoList

- Bud 9y agoAnyone who thinks that this "rigs" a debate in any meaningful way is watching too much Hannity. Debate questions are not some big secret surprise; the candidates drill for MONTHS on all the likely sorts of questions that could be asked. And there weren't any "gotcha" questions asked in the debate in question; just straight-up stuff that any prepared candidate could answer in his/her sleep.

- wanderer2323 9y agoCan you skip the ad hominem attacks, please? There is an obvious difference between knowing the range of questions vs knowing the exact questions on, eg, a qualification exam. The full list of questions is usually public beforehand, the exact questions you get is not. The same logic applies to the debate. Knowing the exact questions gives an advantage, allowing one side to tailor and concentrate their message. Once you know what is going to be asked, you can prep more extensively in that space, while the other side is spreading out their efforts, being less efficient.
- Bud 9y agoYou're right. I have edited my comment. I apologize.
- thesis 9y agoReplying to Bud on this one... I would certainly do better on my midterms if I know all the questions first. Just because you've covered the material doesn't mean there's not a distinct advantage in knowing the questions ahead of time.
