CNN Issues RESPONSE to Trump Supporter on UNDECIDED PANEL

CNN has now issued a response to our reporting at the midest touch Network about its so-called undecided Pennsylvania voter panel that was broadcast following the Democratic National Convention speech of Vice President KL Harris where the mightest touch Network uncovered that at least one of the individuals on that so-called undecided voter panel had a social media history of being very supportive of Donald Trump subsequent to our reporting that individual named Bryant Rosado made a number of posts where he said that he had told CNN that he was a trump supporter and that he intended to vote for Donald Trump a week before he was put on that panel here is the statement that we received from CNN we've asked for follow-up questions or we've asked follow-up questions of CNN and they said they would not provide further information here's the official statement from CNN they say the following quote when building the panel of Voters who haven't decided on a candidate all participants made it clear that they indeed hadn't made a final determination this particular individual who said he had supported Donald Trump in the past expressed to us that after President Biden dropped out of the race his mind became open and he hadn't make I think they mean made he hadn't make a final decision on a candidate and we were told to attribute that to a CNN spokesperson so in response to CNN's statement we then asked CNN the following questions one why didn't CNN disclose to viewers that this individual was a trump supporter too why didn't CNN disclose to viewers that this individual appeared critical of Mike Pence's decision to certify the 2020 election and reposted mugshot photos of Donald Trump from Donald Trump Jr among others saying that Trump is quote coming for the Deep state posts which were identified from his public social media history on X formerly Twitter and you could see some of those posts um right there three does CNN do any due diligence at all of its participants social media history and was it done in this instance four Rado says that he informed CNN that he intended to vote for Donald Trump just one week before the panel took place in the race against vice president kamla Harris and in response Rosado says that CNN asked him if he would then keep an open mind after he had already stated that he was intending to vote for Donald Trump so then we asked CNN is that an accurate recitation of the facts and if so why was that not disclosed CNN refused to provide any public statements and they told us that they stand on the statement that I had previously read and that they were not not going to be providing any additional information I just want to share with you again what Bryant Rosado said on his social media platform so you can judge for yourself and form your own opinions here is what he said he goes in response to someone named Jeff Clark who said it sure didn't seem like you were undecided I'm just curious how did they find you did you answer a poll undecided were you rethinking your Trump support I'm actually not mad at you I just want to understand the process for these things and Bryant Rosado responded I'd be glad to answer I was at a restaurant having a drink with a buddy And the reporter came to our table and asked who are we voting for and we both said Trump then he asked if I'm willing to have an open mind and give kamla a chance and I said absolutely and then invite then the question by this Jeff Clark account to Bryant RS was so this was immediately before the event how long were you there for then Bryant goes the decision or the restaurant and then Jeff Clark goes the focus group they just grab people from the restaurant then Bryant Rosado goes no the restaurant invite was a week before the focus group so I just want to be very clear here's what Jeff Clark responds which I agree with Jeff Clark this is tot totally not the way they CNN or anyone is supposed to do this there are plenty of actually undecided voters all they have to do is ask more people you should have been eliminated the second you said a candidate look if what Bryant Rosado here is saying correctly where he disclosed to CNN that he was a trump supporter and that he intended to vote for Donald Trump you then don't ask ask the individual so will you watch this speech to then determine if you will what not be supporting someone who you're posting mug shots of and someone who you've been posting to Elon Musk please reinstate this individual and someone who you've been making a lot of other posts about your entire entire life based on one speech now if CNN wanted to basically say hey everybody what we are going to do here is something interesting we're going to take Trump supporters lifelong Trump supporters and people who say that they intended that they made a decision before that they were going to vote for Trump and we are going to show him vice president kamla Harris's speech to see if that would change their mind or move them in a material way then you would be telling us we the people the truth about the situation but no you said you were speaking to undecided voters when Bryant Rado says that he told you a week before that at that point in time he was planning on voting for Trump so what in the world are you doing CNN and why do you think that you are above answering questions to We the People I understand that you ask questions all day but how are we supposed to trust any of your other data if that's the process and procedure that you use and then when you get caught doing it you so cavalierly just admit that that is actually your process and then when you get some follow-ups like hey do you do any diligence here did you you want to acknowledge that he said he intended is that accurate that he told you that he was intending to vote for Trump and then the reporter said well what if we showed you this speech because that's not the way this process is ever supposed to work or go down and look I've seen Bryant Rosado make posts about oh he's angry at mest Touch look what we're just reporting on is your social media history the things that you said look if you are a trump supporter like you obviously are that's your decision okay we here at the midest touch Network have a very different View and a very different perspective on the world but that's your decision what CNN should not have done was to say that you are undecided and not disclose your history if you disclosed that history to them because we were all watching that and it made no sense to us just to remind everybody here's the segment that went down I'm going to show you first the clip where they go around and they have everybody raised their hands let me show you this but what I want to ask all of you Al together at this point like I said none of you were ready to make a commitment to any candidate in November please raise your hand right now if you're now ready to make a commitment after today wow I'm just kind of surprised by we we haven't rehearsed this I going make that very clear will for this seven of you are now ready Scott yes I'm I'm going to vote for Kamal Harris Andy yeah Kamal Harris yes yes I'm voted for her also Sean um Sean yes Kamala Sabrina carela Patrick Cara Brian Trump trump and finally Lindsay still probably not voting still probably you don't like either of them nope and here is where the reporter specifically speaks to Bryant Rosado and says when I met with you you were undecided and you know it's hard to hear what Bryant Rosado says but you know he Bryant Rosado doesn't go whoa whoa whoa I told you I'm a trump supporter nor does the reporter um Gary tuckman go when we met you said you supported Trump but I told you to keep an open mind why not just tell us the truth the facts and then why get so defensive when you're being called out on it if and if this is the process that you use all the time then we're supposed to tr anyway let me show you the clip but I'm like we're supposed to trust your polls we're supposed to trust any of your reporting here play this clip and Brian you decided on Trump what what about tonight because we when we met last week you were undecided what about tonight made you decide you were going to vote for um I you know her her speech was great I like how she went into personal history again um it was just not moving for me but it made you think that Trump's a better candidate than her he's he he's here for it he's a little bit more aggressive she's aggressive in her way but I think she'll be aggressive in the next term so Trump over Harris for you Harris over Trump for most of you what I will tell you 75 days now until election day so Lindsay you have a few more nights to sleep on it thank you all for coming and joining us we appreciate it thank you and back to you Gary tuckman thanks that was fascinating and here's where Brian Rado talks about um how he was ranking the speech and that he gave her he gave her AC notably Donald Trump in his speeches that he gave her like a C+ just to remind you here's what Bryant Rosado says though play the clip first thing I want to ask you I want you to grade the speech okay a is excellent B above average C average D below average we all know what f is let's start with you how do you grade the speech I gave her a B+ B B+ a B+ a a c c so now look I've seen in some of the comments people say well look why are you so focused on this man like why are you focused on this specific instance at the end of the day six of the other people raised their hands and said they were voting for vice president KLA Harris so isn't that good no what's good are is the truth what's good are what should be good is just the facts if Bryant Rosado told that to them CNN did him a disservice by not explaining what Rosado told them and CNN should disclose to us what Rosado said that he was a trump smart I just want the truth who knows if any of that panel was accurate you know we should we now have to look every time CNN does a panel is it going to be the role of Might is touching everybody that we're just like oh okay who knows what this panel really is how CNN's developing this maybe these other who knows about those other six people we're not getting empirically significant data when their process seems to be like trust me bro and we go into a restaurant and we go into a bar with all of the resources that CNN has that's that's the process that's what they're doing I mean they it's a it's a billion doll entity and that's how they behave I just want the data I don't want them to push these narratives and to try to be like oh well look here's a specific person who looks a specific way or here's a specific individual who has specific views and they may be viewing things this way or that way don't you see no just tell me the facts about what's happening report on it don't push the narratives that's how I want regardless The Good the Bad the Ugly just dish up what it is would it have taken what 20 more seconds there for Gary tuckman or CNN to just say hey dude described himself as a trump supporter before and said that he previously intended to vote for Donald why would you hide that why would you hide that and and by the way a week before the panel that means vice president kamla Harris was in the race at that time where he responded that he was going to vote for Donald Trump at that time at at this restaurant so just give us the facts and the fact that CNN doesn't want to answer that and like we don't we stand by our statement really really anyway that's that's why it's I understand why a lot of you don't stand by them anymore what are they doing anyway hit subscribe we're on our way to 3 million
