CNN’s bias is showing … again.
According to TruthFeed, CNN on Sunday highlighted a doctored tweet from GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump calling on Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton to release her medical records.
In the original tweet, Trump referred to Clinton by his nickname for her, “Crooked Hillary.” In the doctored tweet shown on CNN’s “Newsroom,” however, “Crooked Hillary” had been replaced with just “Hillary.”
Take a look at the doctored tweet as it appeared on CNN:
“I think that both candidates, Hillary and myself, should release detailed medical records,” this version of the tweet read. “I have no problem in doing so! Hillary?”
Now take a look at the original tweet as it appeared on Twitter:
I think that both candidates, Crooked Hillary and myself, should release detailed medical records. I have no problem in doing so! Hillary?

“I think that both candidates, Crooked Hillary and myself, should release detailed medical records,” the actual tweet read (emphasis added). “I have no problem in doing so! Hillary?”
When did it become the job of so-called news networks to remove adjectives to make a political candidate appear more palatable to the masses? It was not as if “Crooked” was inappropriate or profane.
If anything, pathetic stunts like this only add further credence to the commonly held belief that CNN functions as little more than an arm of the Democrat Party — which is one reason why so many Americans still refer to the media producer as the Clinton News Network.
