First It Was Fake News, Now It’s Fake “Town Halls” – CNN Fails, Again
First It Was Fake News, Now It’s Fake “Town Halls” – CNN Fails, Again from ZeroHedge
TDC Note – Some people, and corporate lunatics, never learn. Does CNN not realize there is an army of people looking to report their schemes, scams and BS? I guess they don’t care. Maybe they will one day when the people step up and do the what’s necessary.

CNN has been accused of ambushing Bernie Sanders and tricking viewers by passing off Democratic political operatives as everyday people during a Monday evening town hall as part of his campaign for the 2020 election. Internet sleuths looked into the backgrounds of those asking Sanders various questions – most of which could be considered fair game to ask a presidential candidate, only to find that there was more than meets the eye as noted by Paste Magazine.
For example, Sanders was asked a tough question about allegations of sexual harassment on his 2016 campaign by “American University Student” Shadi Nasab. What CNN didn’t mention is that she’s also an intern for a large D.C. lobbying firm, Cassidy & Associates.

Another question came from Tara Ebersole, a humble “Former Biology Professor” according to CNN. She’s also the chair of the Baltimore County Democratic Party according to her LinkedIn page. What’s more, Ebersole’s husband is a Maryland state delegate, and was on Hillary Clinton’s leadership council in 2016.
Abena McAllister was labeled by CNN as a “Mother of Two,” but failed to mention that she’s also the Charles County Democratic Central Committee Chair.
“Maryland Voter” Michelle Gregory is yet another ‘everyday person’ who turns out to be politically active as the chair of the Lower Shore Progressive Caucus.
