The Dworkin Report - CNN Runs Pro-Trump Spin in Blatant Attack on Democrats

Yesterday, CNN aired an interview with former Democrat Joe Manchin, who is retiring after 14 years of being one of the least accomplished Senators.

Manchin is known to drive a Maserati, owns a yacht, and is a corporate-owned politician. He’s a phony who constantly stood in the way of incredibly popular progressive issues—no one cares what he has to say. CNN thought it would be a good idea to bring him on for a long gripe session anyway.

The whole thing was a self-pitying snoozefest, but that didn’t stop the network's pro-maga spin machine from coming out in full force. Using the opportunity to slam Democrats, they ran at least 3 different garbage headlines on the boring back and forth.

“Joe Manchin torches Democrats on the way out the door;” was one of them. Manchin didn’t torch anyone. That is ludicrous.

...it's the GOP that has been toxic, Joe. This just reveals his poor judgement or the fact he is bought and paid for.
