"CNN has come under fire in the last few days for pushing a pro-Hillary agenda and actually censoring reactions to the Democratic debate that took place on Tuesday night.

It started with a poll. CNN asked their audience to vote live for who they thought won the debate on Tuesday night. Poll results showed Sanders overwhelmingly as the winner, with over 75% of the votes. Suddenly, however, the poll disappeared, only to be replaced by a pro-Hillary headline story.

CNN later declared Hillary Clinton as the winner of the night’s debate stating: “Hillary Clinton proved without a doubt Tuesday night why she is the Democratic Party’s presidential front-runner.”

Then, other Sanders supporters on Facebook started noticing their pro-Bernie comments being removed from CNN stories.

According to Media Equalizer, there are certain messages being specifically targeted – mainly those that mention CNN’s conflict of interest in their support for Hillary. You see, CNN’s parent company, Time Warner, is a huge donor to Hillary Clinton:"

It's strange  because I've perceived an anti- Hillary theme at CNN. I believe that ratings and not politics drive CNN and whatever they feel will drive ratings is the way they'll go.

The mainstream media has shown a clear bias against Sanders. Despite his popularity, and willingness to bring up topics avoided by other candidates, the media wishes he'd go away.
It's not just CNN, I saw the same bias in local newspapers, only reporting on very limited parts of the debate, making it sound as if Clinton was the winner.  Bernie threatens the status quo.
