and I am SURE I read it somewhere, but the closest link I can find is from when they did it with Brett Kavanaugh, I'll post that link below...but they just got caught doing it again, and for the life of me, I can't find it.
Here's the CNN link to "regular ole folks" who turned out to be kGOPb operatives:

(2,199 posts)I was appalled by them. Clearly well off and self-righteous white women defending him and sounding just like him. Al of them in lockstep. Not once did CNN disclose that it was a repeat performance.

Seems to me we all need to send CNN emails/make calls reminding them of the importance of journalistic integrity.
