CNN appears to be colluding with the DNC again by planting political lobbyists in the audience at a recent Bernie Sanders town hall event.
The Vermont senator found himself derailed as DC lobbyists, disguised by CNN as audience members, asked him obscure, complicated policy questions.
RT.com reports: The eyebrow-raising oversight was first spotted by Paste Magazine, which accused CNN, in concert with the Democratic Party, of “stacking” the audience against Sanders by not being upfront about who was tasked with asking the senator questions.
For example, a young woman identified by CNN as a student at American University suggested that Sanders had turned a blind eye to his campaign’s alleged sexist behavior during the 2016 primaries, and asked what the democratic socialist would do to make women feel more included in his 2020 presidential bid. Curiously, the network failed to disclose that the student also happens to be an intern at a major DC lobbying firm – an odd coincidence considering her question was adapted from a Sanders-bashing talking point popular among corporate-friendly Democrats.
CNN was similarly tight-lipped about the backgrounds of other audience members selected to interrogate Sanders.
One audience member labeled as a “George Washington student” was later revealed to be an intern for a Democratic fundraising organization, the Katz Watson Group, and was previously a campaign fellow for ‘Hillary Clinton for America’.
Town hall moderator Wolf Blitzer introduced another audience member as a mother of two who is “active in the Maryland Democrat Party.” It turns out the innocuous mom was actually the chair of her county’s Democratic Central Committee.
CNN conceded that it should have been more transparent about its question-askers.
Fortunately it would be next to impossible to ban Tor or other open sourced encryption like I2P. So do have those as backups. The problem is they can ban VPNs and possibly block access to services via demands to the ISPs.
We need more programmers who refuse to suck Big Tech's dick and join a movement to decentralize and provide open source encryption. The age of the Big Tech resistance is starting to die out sadly. So backup everything available to you now while you can. This includes torrent clients, P2P clients, Tor, I2P, browsers like Beaker and Zeronet…. just anything that provides decentralized communication / sharing.

What we should really be worried about, is if they don't try and cheat AOC out of candidacy.
CNN have poked her about the green deal, but they haven't sent agent provocateurs against her yet to my knowledge.
This could mean they're seriously going to run her against Trump instead of Hillary.
Anthony King
Do the DNC actually want Trump to win?
Austin Parker
Bernie got the perfect con. He's probably OK with this.
Lucas Morris
A fourth house for Bernie. No refunds!
Evan Jones

Seems like it sometimes. Maybe Trump actually runs the DNC.
Michael Martinez
He wasnt cheated. He was a pawn. His purpose was to inspire sjw's to get off their high asses and vote and then drop out so they by default vote Hilary. Look at the footage from the first debate of the primary season that was between Sanders and Hilary. When asked about Hilary and her emails he said nobody cares about the damn emails and thats all he ever said about it. Why would her opponent willingly brush aside anything that could be used to his advantage? Because he was never really running.
Gabriel Wilson
Funny, because that ended up backfiring if that was the plan. Many Bernie Bros actually were so disgruntled they decided to jump ship and vote for Trump to spite Hillary….. and then the whole Seth Rich thing too.
Blake Fisher
No, they simply decided not to vote. They wanted bernie but he dropped out, the media said hilary was 92% chance to win and sjws believe everything they see on tv. They thought their side won, just the other candidate, so they just stayed home
