She has nothing to lose
She knows she's a dead woman walking
Might as well continue obeying the masters that own her

We’ve gone from don’t cover the Biden “you ain’t black” remarks for 12 hours to “some are trying to make a big deal over” said remarks.

CNN's John King just began a question on how "some are trying to make a big deal over" Biden's "you're not black" comment. CNN then played the clip ending with “I extended the Voting Rights Act 25 years. I have a record that is second to none." However, the quote was edited…
…to exclude the next line: "The NAACP has endorsed me every time I’ve run. Come on, take a look at my record.” That is a false statement that the NAACP has publicly rebutted. https://jonathanturley.org/2020/05/23/technically-black-atlantic-columnist-supports-bidens-statement-that-black-trump-supporters-are-not-really-black/ It never endorsed Biden or anyone else…
…thus, on such false statements, CNN is not making a "big deal about it." It is simply editing it out. Not a big deal. That is not one of the "facts first" stories. This is the type of media indulgence that I wrote about yesterday…
After his work on the atomic bomb, scientist Robert Oppenheimer observed that "the physicists have known sin; and this is a knowledge which they cannot lose." If commentators have known sin, it is in the abandonment of facts for a true faith. Facts first.
CNN just replayed the same edited clip in another interview, preceded by a derisive comment about those "trying to make hay about this." In a story where Biden is proclaiming his support among black voters, CNN omitted the line where he falsely claims multiple NAACP endorsements.
