12. Good Questions

I watched today and felt that he was in a sense "leading the witness" but in a way so that he would get a "no" answer to the question. He repeated many of his questions to each of the panelists today.

I have been watching AC (and the rest of CNN) for several weeks now and don't feel he is carrying water for the GOP at all. In fact all of CNN seems pretty anti-Trump, calling him and his cast of convicts out repeatedly when they deserve it (which is always!).

I lost MSNBC when I cut cable, and I thought it was going to be painful, but CNN has been pretty great going against the administration. Erin Burnett is my favorite out of all of them.
