In this case they choose to publish a non-news article about people who always vote republican and now will vote for the democratic candidate. What you won't find on CNN is an article about democrats who will now vote for the republican candidate.

Both exist. But they choose to only publish about the first group of people. That is how the majority of propaganda works: Usually no blatant lies but extreme bias in favor of where their interests are.

Mainstream media is the most powerful thing in the world to sway the opinion of the public, thinking even 10% of them is objective is insanity.

Its funny, because you have never once said anything bad about Trump or good about Hillary, therfore you must be also speaking propaganda by your own reasoning.

Myself on the other hand I dislike both, I've said both good and bad about each.. Therfore my thoughts should be sound logic by your own reasoning.
