CNN Caught Deleting Pro-Bernie Comments, Hides real Polls

Some users and messages appear to be specifically targeted, especially those accusing CNN of having conflicts of interest that make it naturally inclined to back Hillary.

In particular, they’re citing last night’s initial Facebook poll data showing Bernie had won the debate handily. They are claiming the network is now burying that information in today’s coverage.

A poll replaced with this.

Oh, damn. Liberals finally waking up to the media corruption. I would say Bernie has succeeded as being the leader of this movement that big companies are rigging elections.

Dear Sanders supporters: Don't go "Ron Paul supporters" on us.

That is all.

Like i told you guys the other day, the fix is in. It's that simple.

Damn corrupt mainstream media. SNIPER was right.

Disgusting if true.

Bernie is da man! Can't help it if he is the much more appealing option to Hilary.

Lines up with what I've been noticing from CNN for the past year. They have been pushing Hillary hard and marginalizing Bernie. Basically, while it's impossible to know for sure I personally think they are very likely doing this intentionally and are actively pushing Hillary. Following the money, it kinda hard not to come to this conclusion.

@mattbbpl: kind of funny, I remember last GOP primary, the party was suppressing Ron Paul by shutting down voting precinct locations in areas he had control of and invalidating results and giving wins to the other party favored candidates (santorum, romney), though he is a far out there candidate I didn't see anything far out there with the party or the media's complicity in the manner

CNN is a joke. Money talks and CNN listens.

Filthy, filthy practices at work.

Bernie is pretty much the only candidate at this juncture that I see any real hope in.

This election has already been decided. Even if an outsider like Trump or Sanders wins they'll be hamstrung by a Congress that was bought before most of us were born.

We do not live in a democracy.

Which is why we have to try to change that, not just lie down and accept it.

Of course they are doing this, but we'll still get Bernie in there!

I voted during the debate multiple times. Bernie sanders was dominating in percentages while it was on both television and online.

Bernie Sanders has some good ideas and, with all due respect, especially in comparison to Alan Greenspan over the decades.

News in bed with the politics

Same shit different century

wow pleae tell me people are truly starting to understan the bullshit in new media in the us and not be a one time thing,.?

Media bias? How unheard of!

And this is one of the reasons why internet polls are a joke.

Precisely, and just as how you have CNN biased towards one candidate, you have another media channel (don't mean just TV) biased towards someone else. This forum smells Bernie biased for example :D

Ben Carson 2016. Get rekted.

Yeah! We need to abolish the silly religion of evolution!

The difference is though, that most people who are for bernie, aren't really biased. Most, if not all the other candidates are corrupt, and are lying to us, and thats a fact. I have listened to all the other candidates from both parties, and Bernie is the only sane one who is actually honest.

Ah yes.....let's show some righteous indignation at unscientific polls on the internet. What happened to OT?

Nasty...

This has been going on for a long time now.

The media has purposely ignores Sanders and just over looks him and never give him a fair shake.

The media is set of pushing the Clinton narrative and want everyone to follow that Clinton train. They are making sure Hillary gets all the advantages.

Not only have the deleted post and hid polls, but they also write articles claiming that "Hilary won" when their own polls (which they then delete) show that the public thinks Sanders won by a land slide.

The media will not allow Bernie to have the spot light he deserves.

And Im not a Sanders fan or supporter. Dont think im just a fan that upset for his favorite candidate. I hate American politics and think its all a fucking joke, but I hate American brain washing , censorship, and its people's ignorance.

What these progressive louts can't seem to apprehend is that it'll either be Hilary or a Republican, which is why the Democratic party is rigging the nomination in favor of Hilary. If they continue their infantile delusions of a socialist America, 2016 will punish them mercilessly.

It is at times like these that freedom fetishists ought to realize the virtues of censorship and suppression.

And with this CNN basically guaranteed that this Bernie-guy will win. Congratulations. Now, where can I bet on this?

@Gaming-Planet: CNN being unethical and corrupt? Say it ain't so!

I will keep that in mind.

There is nothing wrong with having multiple polls to vote on during a single debate, but at the same time, you find humor for some puzzling reasons as seen in numerous threads.

I find irony in your insults. Also, I am not sure when you began to think that condescension is a valid way to persuade an audience. How is that working for you?

Then vote when you can. Not only in the election next year, but the primaries (or what you call them) as well.

Worked out well for the middle east.

Oh that's right.....the middle east is a toilet.

Nothing new. CNN does well with news reporting until election time draws closer. Then they become biased as hell. Saw the same thing back in 2012.

@GazaAli: Given Sanders's well-documented history of crossing political lines to gain support from other parties, I feel that your statement is a little inaccurate. I do think it is very close to certain that Hillary will get the Democratic ticket, but the idea that "it's her or a Republican" has absolutely no validity.

@GazaAli: America is already partially socialist. We have a socialist education system, we have social security. You're delusional if you think it can't get more socialist(Not a bad thing unless you're politically ignorant).

The fact is the media and the political establishment are terrified of anyone they cannot control. It is why the media has pushed so hard against Trump and it is why the media has tried to marginalize Bernie as much as they possibly can, regardless of what polls tell them.

I am a Trump supporter, but if Trump does not get the nominee I would choose Bernie over anyone else on either side that is running.

I'm on the same boat except I support Bernie. If Hillary somehow gets into the primary because of rigged polls, I'll vote for Trump.

@Gaming-Planet: Excellent video. Mr. Robot is an amazing show and I love how extremely relevant it is to our current lifestyle. This show hits the nail on the head.

I can safely assert that the audience doesn't want to be persuaded at this point, hence the perceived condescension. Nevertheless, do enlarge on that irony.

What you're suggesting is that an unabashed lefty would be more successful in crossing political lines to gain support and govern properly than a timid centrist like Obama or an Establishment favorite like Hilary. I find that entirely outlandish. Republican candidates spearheaded by Fox news are already vilifying Sanders as a commie scum and he's far from winning the nomination yet. Can you imagine the political schism that would directly spill to the economy and society if Sanders made it to the oval office?

I'm very much in favor of socialism or at least many of its major elements, but that's not something I can say about the U.S' political and financial elites and a large portion of the constituency. The U.S embraced socialist elements back in the FDR days and his New Deal, but following the end of WWII and the commencement of the Cold War, well-fare programs continued to be dismantled to this day. Unions are crumbling, voices mount to privatize schools and infrastructure is neglected. So yes, the U.S can't get more socialist if it's regressing in that aspect.

@GazaAli: That defeatist attitude is exactly what's wrong with the American left today. The candidates will bring up Bernie as a crazy commie just as they said Obama was a Muslim monster. The fact of the matter is that it's a minority of very loud people making these statements. They are simply sensationalized because we are in a time of election. Electing a man like Bernie is the first step to get people to stop being such fucking pussies about stepping on the toes of the rich. Forgive a lack of a more objective argument, it's just 3 AM, I'm a little drunk, and a little grumpy.

@Gaming-Planet:

Seeee...it really is about ethics in gaming journalism.

@GazaAli: I would rather help you recognize that people can and do change. Disregarding that fact is detrimental to your views the same as if someone said that everyone in the Middle East has no inclination to change, intellectually. That said, the irony of your insults is in saying that people are awkward and stupid, or louts, you place that same social stigma on yourself as insulting people is awkward, though I will refrain from saying it is unintelligent.

People who say unbiased press exists are out of their mind.

You want proof? This is your proof.

But its not just CNN, I think the same thing applies for all news Stations in America these days. Welcome to America, a country that has the potential to be a great country and have common sense, but is shattered by a beyond infected large portion of its political and corporate system. Needs megatons of bars of soap and Clorox bleach, and some penicillin.

I think a lot of people just voted for Bernie over and over and it threw the poll off.

I've seen it before, look at some of 4chan's infamous raids on public polls.

@servomaster: that's besides the point while it may be true it does not excuess the fact that CNN not only not sat Bernie won but instead takes down the poll replaces with a poll looking thing but insteads it's a odd's of winning thing and saying Hillary won and also yes CNn is own by Time Warner and Clinton are buddies
