It probably would be better if CNN didn't bring liars on to lie to their audience then try to rebut those lies. This is the next best thing, but make no mistake, the first thing is better. CNN does the latter, sometimes well and sometimes quite poorly, because it covers politics like sports. It does that because management at least believes that is a good strategy for maximizing viewership.

And CNN should't use outdated polls to bandwagon their favorites.

Yeah, I stopped watching CNN when they refused to call Trump what he was and covered his idiocy nonstop as though he was a valid, legitimate politician.

In fact, I get annoyed when the media takes anything that moron says seriously. Every single news item on Trump should begin with the words, "Keeping in mind that Trump is a known liar and thug, today he..."
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

They made a lot of money off of him because the public loves his kind of show. When he attacks people like rosy odonnell, the media, or his opponents the way he does, ratings go up.
