CNN reporter Pamela Brown was observed Sunday night after the second presidential debate possibly coaching a focus group member on what to say.
As the clip of Brown with the focus panel began, she could be heard whispering something to the member with whom she was speaking, as reported by The Daily Caller.
“America is great, because we’re good,” Brown apparently said, repeating the words Clinton had just spoken during the debate.

Then, after she realized she was back on air, she proceeded to ask that same member this question: “What was it about Hillary Clinton’s argument that resonated with you following Donald Trump’s defense of the video?”
“She stated that America is already great, and I tend to agree with that,” the panel member replied. “Though we are slow in progressing in a number of ways, we are progressing, and we need to continue the momentum.”
It appeared as if the member had simply regurgitated what Brown said to her. But was that truly the case?

It is extremely difficult to tell. While the member’s words were somewhat of a regurgitation of Brown’s words, they were also a copy of “Hillary Clinton’s argument,” as can be witnessed in the video below:
Note how prior to the beginning of the focus panel, Clinton was shown making the case that America is already great. Perhaps Brown was just retelling the member what Clinton had said?
Even if that were the case, however, the whole segment still felt scripted. Brown highlighted specific words spoken by Clinton and then asked the panel member to comment on those exact words.
Why not just ask the panel members, “Hey, what did you think about Hillary’s arguments in general?”

It was as if the CNN host and her conspirators at the network had designed the panel in such a way as to make the Democrat candidate look good.
And they wonder why people call them the “Clinton News Network” …
