And still more political shystering
« on: January 06, 2016, 07:09:17 PM »
The so called "Town Hall" meeting set for George Mason University, where Oblather will have an hour of prime time to answer questions from the "audience", is anything but a townhall.  It's invite only, in which CNN and the White House will completely shape the narrative for the event by choosing the people who will participate. There's also no doubt the White House will be crafting pro-gun control questions that are asked from carefully selected audience members.

Again, just think if a Trump or let's say a President Bush arranged for an invite only "Town hall", to be broadcast by Fox.  Can you imagine the apoplective cries of manipulation and lack of all views??  Easy, isn't it
