Seeing their comments repeatedly deleted by CNN, Bernie Sanders supporters are hopping mad today.
Already feeling the news networks coverage had become rabidly pro-Hillary in the aftermath of last nights debate, Facebook users leaving reactions on CNNs page are now continually re-posting them, knowing they will be quickly removed. There are hundreds in a seeming battle with the network, with no explanation as to why.

In particular, theyre citing last nights initial Facebook poll data showing Bernie had won the debate handily. They are claiming the network is now burying that information in todays coverage.
That clip from last nights post-debate show is still on YouTube, uploaded to a GOP channel. Some Sanders backers are linking to this:

This is rather bad. There's a LOT more in that article I would suggest people take a good long hard look at it.
There is also this video posted on youtube about it.
