Pro-Gun-Control Senator Thanks CNN "For [Its] Support"

Everyone seems aware of CNN's partisan affiliation and ideological leanings except, according to their claims, CNN itself.

The pro-gun-control left should thank CNN. And CNN should accept their gratitude. They are allies. Why continue this charade?

Tuesday, CNN came out of the closet with an open declaration that "The Most Trusted Name In News" would use two full days of programming as a propaganda push for legislation tightening background checks. CNN has been so good about keeping that promise that this morning a pro-gun control Senator thanked a CNN anchor for his support.

Wednesday morning on "Starting Point," anchors John Berman and Christine Roman hosted Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), one of the two senators responsible for the compromise legislation on background checks.

...

And then, appropriately enough, the segment ended with Manchin thanking Berman for his support:

Berman: Senator Joe Manchin from West Virginia, you've been working around the clock for a compromise deal. I think you have a very busy few weeks ahead of you still.

Manchin: We appreciate your support, too, this is very, very important.
