CNN severs ties with Donna Brazile


"On October 14th, CNN accepted Donna Brazile’s resignation as a CNN contributor. (Her deal had previously been suspended in July when she became the interim head of the DNC.) CNN never gave Brazile access to any questions, prep material, attendee list, background information or meetings in advance of a town hall or debate. We are completely uncomfortable with what we have learned about her interactions with the Clinton campaign while she was a CNN contributor," Pratapas said.

The question was from the Flint Debate hosted by Anderson Cooper where she leaked a question from the audience about lead poisoning

I know this place if full of dummies but don't embarrass yourself posting stupid stuff!

If you are a paid troll be honest, but if you are a fan of HRC, you are doing her no service as a blind ridiculous illogical fan is never respected!

As a former Bernie supporter, I am not surprised or happy about this because it is inherently unfair.  On the other hand, it could have been even more unfair.

To look at it from a more cynical perspective...good for her. Getting a one up on her enemies and being prepared!

Good. Should have done it months ago with the far far far more conflicted interest problem of Corey Lewandowski.

The Bernie Camp has said that Donna helped them in the same ways as she did with Clinton.

They never went into details of what she gave them.  If they are angry, they can speak out.  If not, this outrage is real all for naught.

She should have been fired for being a sickeningly conceited and substance-free analyst, but better late than never!

I still remember how Donna was saying she is neutral during the primaries every time she was on the air, how she didn't picked candidate to support, how Sanders supporters were important to them. Sanders really should be ashamed of himself every time he steps on that stronger together podium

No wonder they are called Clinton News Network. It's the second time we know that she was given a question.

yes.

Brazile's behavior annoys me too - Clinton likely would've demolished Trump in the debates anyways, why feel the need to uselessly cheat?

The same thing with the primaries - it's pointless shooting yourself in the foot because you think the bullet is going to lift you into the air for a minute.

Good riddance to Donna Brazile.

One of the worst partisan hacks.

Good riddance. I'm not sure she'll be any better than DWS running the DNC. I feel so bad for Bernie and his supporters.

Wow, a question about lead poisoned water was leaked before a debate in Flint, MI?  Good thing the candidates were given advanced warning about it; they would have been caught totally off guard when asked the question otherwise!

Donna Brazile is a partisan hack who loves sucking up to power. She has been lying these last few weeks and got caught. That's why she got fired.

Yeah this. Silly of her to leak the question provided she wasn't prompted by the Clinton camp but if Bernie's camp didn't expect a question on this to pop up then they're incompetent buffoons.

How could they not be expecting a Flint question... and how could Hillary have not already been prepared for it?

Good move by CNN. Donna Brazille should have known better than to sully her career by engaging in two bit political tactics

Remember when she said she was neutral in the Democratic primary?

Remember how she said she could be trusted...

Pepperidge Farm remembers...
