As Twitchy reported, CNN’s Brianna Keilar landed the first nationally televised interview with Hillary Clinton. Some people wondered whether Keilar, who recently attended the wedding of a Hillary aide, could maintain objectivity and keep Hillary accountable with hard-hitting questions.
This afternoon, it looks like they got their answer in a teaser spot:
Did CNN ask @HillaryClinton if she's "disappointed" with her email server for how it mishandled/deleted emails under Federal subpoena?

Not according to what CNN’s showed us thus far.

First interview of the campaign & she's asked about Trump. Terrific. https://t.co/cGV8pTOJ3B

Asking about Trump and immigration may well be the least challenging topic CNN could have raised with Hillary

That's weird. It's almost like CNN would rather let Hillary talk about Republicans than about all her scandals. https://t.co/0BL6cZiwsN

Almost!
@RBPundit @allahpundit @exjon It would be rude for @brikeilarcnn to ask about emails & foundation pay-to-play. Mustn't be rude to the Queen.

I've been wondering: "Is Hillary disappointed in Trump?" Screw questions about foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation, @CNN. #jounalism

Apparently that other stuff just isn’t important. Thank goodness we’ve got CNN to let us know what we should care about.
“Clinton Talks Republican Rivals,” says @CNN. In other words, the interview is an in-kind contribution to the @HillaryClinton campaign.

Seriously considering running outside instead of watching this Hillary Clinton campaign ad on CNN.

So @CNN just gave @HillaryClinton a platform to bash Republicans.

Dear Media, this bullshit Hillary interview on CNN? This is why we don't trust you. This is why we know you tip the scales towards Dems.

The CNN interviewer was only doing whatever it took to get freed from Hillary's ropes. https://t.co/lJ1WeNHjk8

The full interview is set to air today in the 5:00 ET and 8:00 ET hours. We’ll see if Keilar can step it up instead of squeeing like a schoolgirl.

But let’s just say we’re not counting on it.
Next on CNN: Hillary talks weather, the Kardashians and the MLB All Star Game.
