Its fucking insane. They are literally pulling "it's really about ethics in journalism, the doxxing was untended" card.
First of all it wasn't her who was being deceitful, it was a large media corporation that has a vested interested in being as punchy and interesting as possible which means potential for compromising or bending the truth. Anyone who trusts ANY media outlet full stop without verification when it comes to politics is naive.
You shouldn't be looking people up on Facebook because they asked your preferred candidate a tough question. Period. Doesn't matter what you find there. Soon as you started searching her on facebook after she asked a tough question you crossed the line.
huh? they didn't? Not that this is a good thing, but we know the occupation of pretty much everyone who asked a question on that stage. this is why can was being criticized for misrepresenting who they were.
A. There is no reason to assume she is Republican.
How do I know you don't work for a mass media company? You should probably post your Facebook.
Yep and she had to report it to the police the harassment got so severe.
They looked her up to dig up dirt on her because they didn't like the question she asked. That is crossing a line.
Again, the segment was not just focused on this woman, it was focused on several people asking questions that CNN did not disclose their true professions. It is only a story because there is a pattern. If they had only focused on the woman asking about sexual harrassment, you may have a point, but the "How dare you look up info on social media about someone who asked a tough question!" is comical. Of course they can and should do that. They wouldn't have reported anything if there wasn't actually a conflict of interest, which surprise! there was.
They didn't but the people trying to bash TYT are focusing on her because it fits a narrative.
No it's not? This point is fundamentally wrong. She asked a tough question on a televised debate on a network that wasn't truthful about who she is. It's amazing that you've turned this around on people calling this out because how dare they perform a Google search.
Because you can say "Wow, that's shitty that people did that" and also not question the entire process of checking who is employing people asking questions in a so-called "town hall".
You've got someone literally being harassed and you're just happy that you found out what...? That the person harassed was not JUST a college student, but also a political intern! The town hall was set in WASHINGTON D.C. I think it's pretty obvious why CNN did what they did. They were in the place with the highest density of political employees in the country. They wanted people that would not ask random, waste of time questions. In D.C. all those people are tied to politics. So they brought them in. And, yes, CNN did wrong when they mislead by avoiding saying they're "politicians" but it wasn't like a great injustice, in fact it makes absolutely zero difference in the grand scheme of things. The questions were legitimate and real.
"You are not allowed to Google people asking questions and report on a clear pattern of dishonesty" is a very questionable position.
AKA THIS IS DOXXING.
Yeah and come to think of it, it also literally didn't happen at any of the hundred other town halls Bernie has taken part in the past couple of years. I'm not entirely sure what connection you're trying to make here.
And before he was never asked a question like about his campaigns sexual harassment issues.
Because the personal information is completely fucking relevant. The personal information, in this case, is that she is hired by a lobbying firm. It's not some unrelated info. You could literally astroturf an entire town hall or debate and no one in the media would ever be allowed to look into anyone's background?
why did it happen this time then? have his supporters gotten more paranoic after 2016? I do think that its worth thinking about.
You've based your whole premise on circular reasoning and the presumption of their goals. There was more than one person mentioned that CNN wasn't forthright about who they really are within the political class.
