About this episode

Larry O'Connor critiques CNN's framing of a Michigan Senate candidate's statements regarding Hasan Piker.

CNN told viewers that Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed was "distancing himself" from Twitch streamer Hasan Piker — then Manhattan Institute's Jesse Arm read the anchor her own words back on live TV and the whole framing fell apart. Larry plays El-Sayed's FULL statement, the one CNN cut, and it never names Hasan Piker, never quotes what Piker said, and never says El-Sayed disagrees. Then Piker himself goes live to confirm it: El-Sayed isn't moderating on anything, and he's still their guy.
