Seriously CNN? You work for Hillary now?

CNN Top Headline: "Poised, Passionate and in Command"
Subheadline: "Clinton Triumphs in Debate as Rivals Compete to Lose."

Compete to lose?

I listened to the debate and I actually thought Hillary and Sanders did a fine job. They both were able to elucidate their main points, and the debate was primarily civil.

All of the post-debate polls (which were self-selected, online polls) had Sanders as the runaway winner. Those polls aren't scientific, but they do illustrate that Sanders did very well--at least as well as Clinton.

Today, I peruse the headlines and I am shocked at what I see. The mainstream, corporate media has decided that they are the Public Relations wing of Hillary Clinton's campaign. To summarize the entire debate with the headline, "Poised, Passionate and in Command" about Hillary isn't journalism. It's egregious kow towing to one candidate.

And the subhead, "Clinton Triumphs in Debate as Rivals Compete to Lose." I mean...seriously. CNN has all ready called the race, I guess--because everyone up there--including Sanders, is just competing to lose. This is crazy.

And this...THIS is why I can't support Hillary. She is so entrenched with corporate interests who are salivating like wolves on their haunches for a Clinton victory.

Time Warner owns CNN, and they are one of Hillary Clinton's top ten donors. And now they write headlines leverage her as if she walked on water--and denigrate her competitors as fools who are "competing to lose."

Who really knows who won the debate--it's very subjective. Sanders and Clinton both did very well. However, the prize for horrendously corrupting the political process with big, corporate money goes to Hillary Clinton.

Shameful.
