Rebutted...

Granlund cartoon: Biden running - Hannibal Courier-Post -


Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley criticized CNN for “media indulgence” after they ran a selectively edited clip favorable to former Vice President Joe Biden.    

“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.” 

Turley, a George Washington University law professor said on Twitter. “CNN then played the clip ending with ‘I extended the Voting Rights Act 25 years. I have a record that is second to none.’”

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.”

“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.
