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.
