1. CNN has been exposed as favoring one candidate over another when pretending to give the candidates an objective forum. First in 2016 with Hillary Clinton over her primary rival Bernie Sanders (later favoring Hillary over her Republican rivals). Now, as the 2020 presidential primary season gets into full swing, CNN displays bias once again against Democratic-socialist Bernie Sanders. Should viewers trust CNN? Why or why not?

2. CNN on Wednesday admitted it failed to disclose the Democratic Party ties of audience members who asked questions during its recent Sen. Bernie Sanders town hall. CNN said in a statement, “Though we said at the beginning of the Town Hall that the audience was made up of Democrats and Independents, we should have more fully identified any political affiliations.”
Does this statement change your opinion on the trustworthiness of CNN? Explain your answer.

3. Unless you support the Democratic candidate for president CNN has in mind you might not be too happy with their election reporting. If this is the deceptive treatment a popular Democratic candidate receives, should Republican and/or Independent Trump supporters expect fair reporting on their candidate from CNN? Explain your answer.
