Debate part IV--the part that CBS would not show on its website

John Dickerson hosted the second Democratic National Debate on November 14, in Iowa, where the candidates talked about numerous issues, starting with the recent Paris attack and ending with crises management.

That’s not what’s interesting, though. What is interesting is that CBS has chosen to publish every part of the debate on their Youtube page except :part 4:

Why is that you ask? Well, this was the part that dealt with Wall Street, but more importantly, featured Sanders finally going on the offensive (that’s actually over exaggerating it). Sanders questioned why Wall Street would donate to Clinton’s campaign if they didn’t intend to get something out of it. Clinton had to fumble for a response, talking about she did have a lot of small campaign contributions and that she helped New York after 9/11.

Of course, none of these had anything to do with Sanders comment and were obvious deflections, but the fact that CBS refused to publish this on their main Youtube page is telling about the bias they have towards Hillary and against Sanders.

Luckily Twitter followers and several major political players like Ezra Klein and Glenn Greenwald caught her and have publicized the event on their own major social media followings.

4. If this had happened to a Democrat in a Republican/Democrat debate all Dems would be outraged.

Somehow it flies under the radar since it's Bernie Sanders. At what point do we say we've had enough of corporate censorship?

5. I believe they put it up two days later.

But every other part was viewed tens of thousands of times, vs. about 400 times for Part 4. It's like when CNN took down the first debate video in its entirety and then only put it back up later.

The factually challenged in the other tribe are quick to mock about conspiracy theories, despite the fact that the disparity in treatment is well documented. I just don't even care what they think, many times.
