Thanks to Julian Assange’s WikiLeaks, U.S. voters found out that 56-year-old former CNN pundit Democratic National Party Chairwoman Donna Brazile gave Democratic nominee former Secretary of State debate questions before the Oct. 9 CNN town hall debate. While CNN CEO Jeff Zucker tolerated extreme left wing bias in the 2016 election, Brazile crossed the line. Zucker claims to have no idea how his network colluded with the Hillary campaign. Listening to CNN’s pundits rip 70-year-old GOP nominee real estate tycoon Donald Trump through the 2016 campaign, Zucker finally tried to save face firing Brazile. CNN’s disgraceful bias against Trump, especially with its headline anchors like Anderson Cooper and Don Lemmon, screamed out for Zucker to finally do something. Calling Brazile’s actions “disgusting,” Zucker has a lot more to do to save CNN.
Calling herself neutral in the 2016, Brazile was actually a Hillary plant at CNN, undermining the network’s credibility. Zucker admitted several times over recent months that CNN had become too liberal, finally taking a stand with Brazile. Whether Brazile admits it or not, the record thanks to WikiLeaks shows she gave Hillary debate questions in advance. Hillary’s action of taking questions in advance violates the Commission on Presidential debates, holding strict rules for news networks maintaining the absolute purity of the debate process. Taking questions from Brazile, Hillary violated the Commission’s strict rules on cheating. Taking debate questions in advance echoes the same treachery seen in the email scandal currently under FBI investigation. Hillary’s being once again investigated for sending-and-receiving classified emails.
Taking questions from Brazile in advance shows how desperate Hillary was for any advantage, despite debating a relative political novice in Trump. What’s most ironic is that Trump had his strongest performance in CNN’s Oct. 9 town hall, telling Hillary point-blank that if he becomes president he’d appoint a special prosecutor to eventually charge her with violating U.S. laws related to classified information, but, more importantly, looking into pay-to-play with Clinton Foundation donors while she ran the State Department. Taking debate questions in advance of the debate violates the ethics of presidential debating more anything imaginable, comparable to cheating in college. No one that knows Brazile’s close ties to the Clintons expects anything other than manipulation and corruption. For Clinton to gain an unfair advantage reveals her bankrupt ethics.
After watching his network go left-wing-rogue, Zucker finally put his foot down with Brazile. “We are completely uncomfortable with what we have learned about her interaction with the Clinton campaign while she was a CNN contributor,” said Zucker. Zucker needs to tell his hosts, anchors and pundits that they must cover not only Brazile’s egregious conduct but what it says about Hillary willing to take an unfair advantage. CNN has done almost nothing to call out Brazile and Clinton a week before the presidential election. “Thank you @ CNN. Honored to be a Democratic strategist and commentator on the network. Godspeed to all my former colleagues,” Tweeted Brazile, refusing to apologize. Brazile fears legal consequences, refusing to admit anything publicaly, calling the WikiLeaks emails forgeries. No one at CNN other than Zucker has admitted collusion with the Hillary campaign.
Feeding Hillary CNN debate questions violates conscience as much as anything, opening the door to voters questioning her campaign. Zucker’s got big problems on his hand after the election salvaging what’s left of CNN’s credibility. Colluding with political campaign violates First Amendment guarantees afforded to the free press. With Brazile’s help, CNN was transformed into a propaganda network for the Hillary campaign. With less than a week left before Election Day, Hillary’s finding it more difficult to pivot off her email scandal, something now under FBI investigation. Spending all her energy Blaming 56-year-old FBI Director James Comey, Hillary tries to kill the messenger rather than take responsibility for breaching U.S. laws related to sending-and-receiving classified material. Calling the FBI probe a partisan witch hunt has backfired.
Liberal media outlets have spent almost no time on Brazile or Hillary receiving questions in advance of the Oct. 9 CNN debate. Had liberal networks like CNN covered Brazile’s actions, it would have turned voters against Hillary “There is no case here,” Hillary told voters, rejecting the FBI investigation,, trying to reassure undecided voters only one week before Election Day. Comey’s Oct. 28 announcement that Hillary’s under FBI investigation for her emails has turned Hillary’s big lead into virtual dead heat. If the current trend continues, Trump’s on a path to pull off a big upset on Election Day. Comey’s decision to open up a new investigation sent red flags to voters that Hillary’s a potential criminal for violating U.S. state secrets. Making more excuses, blaming her email problems on a partisan witch hunt, Hillary finds herself losing precious credibility before Nov. 8.
