CNN tips scales for Biden at town hall

There’s a reason President Joe Biden agreed to do a town hall this week with CNN — the increasingly partisan left-wing cable network is friendly territory for him. He knows the questions will be easy. There won’t be any groundbreaking journalism.

On Thursday, CNN behaved not only as the Biden White House likely expected it would, but it also went a step further, tilting the scales fully in the president’s favor by taking seven questions from Democrats in the invitation-only audience and only two questions from Republican attendees. Moderator and host Anderson Cooper also took three questions from self-identified independents.
