CNN can't help themselves.

I wonder if that has anything to do with CNN's chairman and CEO, Mark Thompson, ranked by Forbes as the 65th most powerful person in the world. 🤔

Would someone like that benefit from tax cuts to the ultra-wealthy?

I don't think it's even about candidates, but just focusing on appearances.

That's what grabs attention and makes money. Even the robotic social media feed algorithms know this.
