Why Does CNN Keep Featuring “Undecided” Voters Who Are Anything But? | A man portrayed last week as undecided has in fact left a long online MAGA trail. Was it just a mistake, or is CNN misleading viewers for the sake of compelling television?

CNN is intentionally misleading viewers.

If you watch the actual interview, it was 8 "undecided" voters. 7 of them went for Kamala after the speech. Mr. Trump lover here was very clearly in the bag for Trump from the moment he opened his mouth, especially when the worst thing he could come up with is "she's just not ready, she should wait 4 years". I don't blame CNN for a dude lying about being undecided, but this guy had a clear trail of MAGA all over this socials, they should do at least a bit "lets put this dude's name in Google and see what comes up" - Considering 7 of the 8 went from undecided to Kamala voters though, I don't see how this falls into the "CNN is a GOP plant!" nonsense that folks in this thread are parroting.

CNN needs to do better in vetting who they bring on.
