(164,164 posts)"Bring Back Trump" CNN "Undecided Voter" Panelist Has Pro-Trump Social Media History
Meet Bryant Rosado who was disappointed that Mike Pence didn't overturn the election for Trump

A man introduced as an undecided voter during a CNN segment following Kamala Harris' speech on Day 4 of the Democratic National Convention has a history of supporting MAGA online. CNN host Gary Tuchman said all panelists claimed to be undecided voters at that time.
Meet Bryant Rosado, who, when asked to grade Kamala Harris' speech, gave it a "C" while the other seven panelists rated it either an "A" or a "B." When asked to explain his grade, Rosado said:
"She wasn't clear enough on the policies. She did speak a lot of her personal history, on her personal history which was great, but I still don't feel like she's ready. I feel like, more so, she should wait. I don't want to personally vote for someone that is a backup."
Rosado then confirmed he wasn't ready to vote for Kamala Harris. Moments later, he raised his hand, indicating that he was ready to make a commitment. When asked, he stated that he was now voting for Trump.

Too bad the CNN executives and senior editors who thought up this play wont lose their Christmas bonuses.

(7,794 posts)If there appears to be variability in a storyline, they drive right. If a positive left interpretation is the only story, they ignore it entirely or label it a surprise and dubious.
This is the nature of America's fourth estate in 2024. They've totally abandoned any honest take on the facts when it comes to political reporting, "where the money's at".

It was stupid for them to let him get through even minor vetting. Magas will lie just like their idol.

Heck, maybe its time to start calling them the "CNN Ministry of Propaganda and Public Enlightenment."
