    Well yeah. Kind of a “no shit, Sherlock” moment, if you ask me. Anybody who is “undecided” is either too ignorant toward politics to be humoring the opinion of on national TV in the first place, or they’re lying. More often than not, they’re lying just to save face, because apparently seeming too stupid to understand the assignment is a better look than announcing who you actually support.

      yep. and their reasoning is just some vague and probably veiled racist/sexist bullshit like “she’s just not ready”. oh i’m sorry you think the lady who has been State AG, senator, and VP is less ready to be president than the reality TV star who runs casinos into bankruptcy?

    CNN has shifted to the right since their acquisition. I used to be ok with it but the quality of discourse, which wasn’t amazing in the first place, has declined to the point where it’s pretty unwatchable.

    For example, Kaitlin Collins is a competent journalist, but she’s clearly been given a bigger role to appeal to right-wing viewers. Her background was the Daily Caller, I believe. Hardly a reputable institution, and I do question the integrity of someone who would work there in the first place. And she’s still one of the better ones.

    They’re running an absolute clinic on how to tank a brand.

      Other journalists agree with you. Parker Molloy from The New Republic says this isn’t “an isolated case of questionable representation in CNN’s voter panels. In fact, it appears to be part of a troubling pattern stretching back years.” She suggests it could be “a potential willingness to mislead viewers for the sake of compelling television.”
