Joe Biden’s all set to do a CNN town hall this Thursday. Lucky CNN … they seem to be the only network that Biden wants to grace with his presence. And we know how valuable Biden’s presence is, since he’s constantly avoiding the press.
Number of Anderson Cooper town halls as President: 2
Number of sit downs w/ WSJ, NYT, or Wapo reporters (not columnists): 0

Anyhoo, CNN’s article about the upcoming event contains an interesting little detail that might help to explain why Joe Biden decided to go with CNN:

Invitation-only audience, you say? How convenient.

Pathetic

Is anyone gonna ask @brianstelter who gets a golden ticket to the “invitation-only” event and how that is determined? https://t.co/YQUDgaOqaI

Inquiring minds would really like to know.
Who would even watch this!

People who are morbidly curious about the potential level of shamelessness that will be on display.
A CNN invitation-only audience with pre-scripted questions is very different from facing the press, which Biden now hasn’t done for 95 days. https://t.co/hcZj4AFrhC

The questioners will all be described as “undecided independents” during the broadcast, and the following day, we will learn that they’re actually loyal Dem activists. Yeah, I’ve seen this show before.

Maybe that’s how CNN gets people to watch! Make us stay tuned to see if this will indeed be the show we’ve all seen before.
