CNN's primary focus is to attack candidates who are in the lead to artificially create a horse race

They're doing it now during the Democratic primary and once again they will be attacking Democratic candidates right up until Election Day to keep the election as close as possible ... every now and then they'll sprinkle in a little news to appear like a news channel.

They really aren't much better than Fox News, at least Fox News doesn't pretend to be anything other than the propaganda arm of the Republican Party.

He did it constantly to Hillary. He is doing it to Warren. He is even doing it to Pelosi to make Mitch look better.

Gee, ya think he doesn’t want to see women demonstrate power let alone BE in power?
