Today, on CNBC Bill Ackman had a long interview. Unbelievably, Andrew Sorkin (who works for CNBC) spent that time maliciously attacking Bill Ackman with every hateful anti-Trump Democratic party trope. Sorkin was not conducting an honest interview related to financial concerns, it was a hate-fest. (The program Ackman and Sorkin were on is supposed to revolve around financial/economic issues.)
What tweaked my interest for posting, is that Sorkin went ballistic in condemning Ackman for even questioning the integrity of ABC News concerning the presidential debate. Sorkin (paraphrased) "How dare question the integrity of ABC News". To that underhanded gotcha attack, Ackman did not have an effective response, other than pointing out some of Harris' lies. When ambushed in this manner it is hard sometimes to immediately come-up with an effective response. We do know that the Democrats, since at least H. Clinton (if not earlier) have worked directly with the media to develop and provide questions to be asked of the Democratic prior to an interview. Biden in his campaign and while president made extensive use of this strategy. In fact, Biden was even given lists of (pre-approved) reporters that he was supposed to call on to avoid the potential of being asked an embarrassing question. Sorkin, would know that the media and Democrats have worked together, Sorkin was not being an honest journalist delving into financial/economic questions, but a loathsome poltical hitman for the Democratic party.
Fast forward to today. Harris just had a fake town-hall that was totally scripted. This validates Ackman's potential concern that ABC may have been dishonestly working with Harris to give her favorable news converge while presenting an anti-Trump narrative and that this concern should be investigated.
