The network's insertion of its own point of view in this week's presidential debate doesn't reflect a mere personal dislike of Sanders—but rather a consistent ideological orientation.
of his own plan, she offered him the same Sanders-bashing frame:"Vice President Biden, does Senator Sanders owe voters a price tag on his health care plan?"
"Senator Sanders, your campaign proposals would double federal spending over the next decade, an unprecedented level of spending not seen since World War II. How would you keep your plans from bankrupting the country?" "Sen. Sanders, in the wake of the Iran crisis, Iran's Ayatollah Khamenei has again called for all U.S. troops to be pulled out of the Middle East, something you've called for as well. Yet when American troops last left Iraq, ISIS emerged and spread terror across the Middle East and, indeed, around the world. How would you prevent that from happening again?"
Rather than giving similarly poison-tipped questions to Sanders' rivals, Blitzer went on for the most part to merely ask them to respond to what had already been said:"Vice President Biden?""Senator Klobuchar, what's your response?""Mayor Buttigieg, you served in Afghanistan.

On just the first page it explicitly declares that all men are created equal, with absolutely no mention of women. And down here—look closely at these signatures that ratified this document as the supreme law of the land. You guessed it, all men.” At press time, CNN confirmed that Sanders had not yet denied his close ties to this country nor its tens of millions of residents with deeply ingrained biases against women.

Don’t forget any of the ligaments or blood vessels.” At press time, Sanders attempted to transition to discussing policy before being cut off and forced to draw the vulva.
