Biden town hall on CNN blasted for too many 'softball' questions
CNN hosted a Joe Biden town hall event at a Pennsylvania baseball stadium Thursday night, but critics said many of the questions made it seem the night's game was softball instead.
CNN hosted a Joe Biden town hall event at a Pennsylvania baseball stadium Thursday night, but critics said many of the questions made it seem the night's game was softball instead.
The evening differed sharply from the grilling President Trump took during ABC News’ town hall program two nights earlier, they said.
"In the first moments, the contrast between what Trump was asked and what Biden is being asked is striking," Politico columnist Jeff Greenfield tweeted, later writing, "Biden is doing very well, yes. But this is not exactly getting him ready to face tough questions from a Chris Wallace or Jake Tapper (should he decide to do so)."
The remark referred to the first presidential debate, scheduled for Sept. 29, which will be moderated by "Fox News Sunday" anchor Chris Wallace.
According to analysis from NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck, of the 16 participants who asked Biden questions, 13 of them -- or more than 80 percent -- were identified as Democrats. Only three were identified as Republicans.
That figure contrasted sharply to the town hall attendees Trump faced on ABC News. That group featured four Trump voters, three Hillary Clinton voters, one Jill Stein voter, three non-voters, and one unidentified. CLICK HERE FOR MORE ON OUR TOP STORY.
