Wait wait, CNN and WaPo working with the Clinton crime family? Say it ain't so, who could have possibly thought that was going on??? ;) They were always such stand up unbiased sources!

Mother Russia approves of this baseless speculation Comrades.


Even if remotely true why would it matter? Why wouldn't those questions get asked in another venue?

Not even going to bother reading this but wasn't there an open submission option for people to send in questions that the network would pick from? Is that what this is?

As in "CNN is looking for questions" which they were from anyone who wanted to submit. And the DNC members decided to have fun with it?

It matters because it shows -- for the umpteenth time -- that the media works hand in hand with the DNC and democrat operatives to build the desired narrative. Instead of asking questions, they sought out specific questions that the DNC would like to have asked by the supposedly neutral moderator. Pretty much par for the course.

Regardless of where they came from, the emails dumped by wikileaks reveal the truth about the media and DNC being essentially the same thing, both extensions of the clinton crime family.

Where in the email does is show CNN directly asking the DNC for questions? Can you cite the specific email chain from CNN?

As I said CNN was openly canvassing people to submit questions to ask the candidates. Other than baseless speculation what are you pinning your confidence on?

Mother Russia still approves, we don't have any context. As stated above they could have been regular submissions or the debate team could have looked for opinions or it could be completely false.
I couldn't follow the first link because of mobile pop ups were unbearable. Were any questions used and were any of them questions that would be asked by anyone?

Summary based on links
A reporter working on questions to be asked of a candidate reached out to the candidates opposing party for ideas.
Another reporter writing a negative piece on the candidate highlighting outrageous statements asked the opposing party if they had anything. Article highlights the opposing parties research group.

For those interested, this is known as "researching". Gathering information from sources.
What the email shows is a reporter reaching out to sources who have readily available info.

If the interview was planned to be a fluff piece, then asking the candidates critical, controversial or sensitive question would be unnecessary. Work out with the candidate campaign office what talking points should be covered and then go by the script.
A good source for critical questions is the opposing party.
We do not know what other sources the individuals used for the pieces involved.

I can't even understand that horribly written "article". Who the hell writes this shit? Even worse, who the hell designs their websites?
Seriously, can somebody explain the point(s) this article is trying to convey by using the article itself and the "evidence" it claims to contain. Please.

Uhmm, it shows journalists reaching out for information, which is the whole point of journalism. If you were trying to come up with questions for a debate why would you not want to ask as many people as possible?

What's hilarious about this is that you come in here once again screeching about media bias based on nothing and you completely ignored the huge, obvious case of media bias that just occurred with the Enquirer buying an anti-Trump story in order to bury it.

Again, the bubble.

OK....the "article" is pure speculation/conjecture/a fevered dream that the DNC runs CNN without a shred of evidence to support a damned thing.

Protip:

If Michal1980 starts a thread, the best thing to do is come in, point, laugh, and walk away.

Expecting any sort of rational response makes you the idiot.

For hilarity check out the latest Enquirer cover 3 stories that are going to destroy Hillary. 1 is the FBI indictment that didn't happen.
