It's common for the media to analyze commercials and speeches during a campaign. However, there's a big difference between dissecting a few soundbites and just letting partisan propaganda play uninterrupted, in what amounts to a campaign infomercial. This is what CNN’s Newsroom did Tuesday morning when it ran a segment on Michelle Obama’s “closing argument for Joe Biden.” Co-host Poppy Harlow gushed over the speech: “...she said no matter what party you are part of, you know, basically think about voting for Joe Biden.”
Earlier in the morning, the former First Lady released a 24-minute video giving her argument as to why Joe Biden should be President. CNN ran the clip where she pleaded: “Search your hearts and your conscience and then vote for Joe Biden like your lives depend on it.” This was just one of the many appeals made to left-wing voters, including numerous attacks on President Trump.
