After the rigged debate, will CNN be banned from DNC debates in the future?

In an astounding display of partiality, dishonesty, and corruption, CNN was caught providing primary debate questions to Hillary Clinton's campaign prior to the event. Thanks to Wikileaks (which CNN insists cannot be viewed legally), Democrats have ample reasons to question their own party's credibility and honesty when it comes to handling a simple primary.

As a tabloid news service and (arguably) the largest purveyor of fake news in the country, should CNN be allowed to host a primary debate in the future? Can the Democrats risk another rigged debate that cast shadows on their supposedly impartial stance during the primaries?

If you were running the DNC, would you keep CNN at a distance to help mend the reputation of the party's brand?

Also, will the Republican Party allow CNN to host debates?

Are they in good enough standing with the American people to even be trusted with such an event? Republicans and Democrats alike have very good reason to be disturbed by their lack of credibility.

Donna Brazil went rogue and CNN fired her. You can't blame CNN.

They should never be allowed to host another debate or have access to any information regarding the debate questions.

It's funny that people are just coming around to it now.

If a CNN "news story" or "interview" is being covered by Anderson "CIA" Cooper - you know it's either liberal propaganda, a false flag, a fake or just old fashioned Mockingbird.

CNN would be out. Rebuilding trust among party supporters should be a priority regardless of what direction they choose to take.

That goes for Republicans and Democrats.

I would never be running the DNC unless it was into the ground, so I can't really answer this question. The lemmings who are running it won't see the forest for the trees enough to understand how badly they were screwed.

The questions were given to her by CNN

Regardless she was an employee at CNN and had that access because of her employment

CNN rigged a debate. Indisputable. CNN will not answer how she got them. No journalist asked hillary or podesta if they used them (they did)

Don't be a schmuck

Yeah at this point I guess it's up to the public to not watch their programs and make a point that their shite isn't going to fly. I'll admit I kind of love to hate MSNBC but I refuse to give CNN the ratings. frick them they have zero legitimacy left.

CNN is like the 10 year old boy caught by his mom reading Playboy. The mom is pissed and punishes the boy, and the father is supposed to go along with the punishment (but inside he's laughing about it). That's how the Dems are. There's a few for punishing CNN, but most smirked about it and are okay with it.

Democrats should be at least as angry as republicans over this....especially the ones that were not fond of Hillary or happened to support Sanders.

Why arent you asking this about Fox too since they literally tried to bury him in the primaries?

Yep.

There should be no confusion here. CNN crossed the line and got caught doing so multiple times this year thanks to Wikileaks. They are not in a position to even claim to be credible, much less unbiased, anymore.

They are no longer in the same arena as MSNBC, CBS, or Fox.

The Clintons are done, so no more need for the Clinton News Network.

Anyone who believes Donna acted alone, or that this was an isolated incident, is too fricking stupid to be allowed out of the house unsupervised.
