    CNN was really bad about this in 2016:

    “Here we are outside the Trump rally due to take place in about six hours now…”

    Meanwhile, Sanders blows the roof off with 30,000 people. CNN? Silence.

    The joke I was telling back then was Trump couldn’t pass gas without live coverage on CNN with talking heads discussing if it were more “fruity” or “nutty”.

      CNN wanted Trump over Bernie, Trump gave them more views and Bernie would be an upset to the status quo.
