> The 'real news' networks barely covered any of the DNC leaks
That is not true at all. Fox covered it heavily, as far as I know; the New York Times and Washington Post both seemed to publish a new articles on the topic daily; CNN seemed to cover it heavily. Who didn't cover that story?
Cnn covered the dnc leaks in a extraordinary biased way. Telling people it was illegal for them to view it themselves.
Also the huffington post, cnn, msnbc, wapo, and nytimes did not cover it objectively.
I hear tons of complaints from Bernie Supporters still to this day on campus.
“Also interesting is, remember, it’s illegal to possess these stolen documents. It’s different for the media. So everything you learn about this, you’re learning from us.”
This has been interpreted by some as you can't view or read them, as you likely need to download them, at least in your browser, to be able to view them.
If Popehat and the Volokh Conspiracy are the typical sources, I suspect it's a slip of the tongue or mind blown way out of proportion, not some sort of official CNN policy or report.
EDIT: Searching around, all I see are similar sources: Infowars, Breitbart, etc. Maybe he said it (and who knows what the context was), but I don't think see any evidence it was more than a gaff. Certainly I never heard it from them or anyone else.
If you ignore "conservative media", you may be just trapped in your filter bubble.
Its clear this is not a good faith discussion.
I voted for Bernie with many other college kids, and we abstained from voting in the presidential when fox news gave us more objective coverage at the dnc protests.
It was an truely awakening experience for many of us.
just my two cents.
You asked for evidence of CNN saying it was illegal to view the DNC leaks. As you've seen, the Chris Cuomo comment is the basis for that claim. Whether or not that's valid is separate.
