CNN Stacks the Deck
/
There is no doubt that CNN is no longer a down the middle news operation and it leans as far, or farther left than MSNBC.
The problem is, they still try to claim that are a fair and unbiased news operation. Which they surely are not.
Recently CNN put together a focus group of “Republican woman” to give their thoughts on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and the allegations that he sexually assaulted Christine Blasey Ford when the two were in high school.
Everyone of the women defended Kavanaugh and seemed to downplay Ford’s story.
It appears that CNN’s goal was to make it appear that this is how all Republican women feel, which is not the case. FTVLIve talk to 5 women that are Republicans and 3 of those women did not support Kavanaugh as the nominee.
What CNN did not tell you is despite calling these women “Republican voters” they were really GOP operatives and clearly did not represent the average woman GOP voter.
The woman who made the comment about it being normal for 17-year-old boys to engage in the kind of behavior described by Ford is Gina Sosa, who ran for Congress in Florida’s 27th Congressional District this year, losing in the GOP primary.
Another woman who dominated the conversation, Lourdes de Castillo de la Peña, has been a member of the Republican National Senatorial Committee and once hosted a $1,000-a-plate fundraiser for Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign. During the panel discussion, she said she has “no sympathy” for Ford and that “maybe at that moment she liked him and maybe he didn’t pay attention to her afterward … and she got bitter.”
One other panelist who spoke quite a bit, Angela Vazquez, happens to be a community council member in Dade County. And the other two women? Rhonda Lopez has run for state representative and Irina Vilarino was once seated next to President Trump at a roundtable discussion for small business tax cuts.
