An inside source tells me.....

...that Yang was getting ready to endorse Pete when he got his CNN gig.

If I were to vote in a presidential

I usually keep my TV on when sleeping and while I hope this might have just been a nightmare, I could have sworn that CNN had Krystal Ball on as commentator early this morning.

If her conspiracy-spouting, Sanders-loving biased ass can be allowed to appear on CNN as a commentator, then surely can anyone else that has decided to openly promote a candidate like she has.

It is unlikely that Krystal Ball got paid like Yang will be getting paid.

Advocates are expected to speak in support of their candidate or cause
Commentators are supposed to stay politically (but not ideologically) neutral
