How much do you love me?

Do you love me? Do you like me? Do you dislike me?
Heaven forbid you have any opinion at all these days.

If you are Hillary Clinton doing a town hall CNN bit, I bet you thought you were greatly loved and admired and I bet CNN thought their own show was great!

What viewers of the show did not know is that CNN "deployed an enthusiastic stage director who coached the audience to applaud at various points throughout the broadcast — not in a partisan manner for Clinton, but for the sake of the town hall’s television optics. Approximately 15 minutes before the show, the producer ran the audience through a practice round of applause and noise-making. The results of the audience-prodding turn up in the show’s video."

Not in a partisan manner --- cough, cough....... You can watch the video for yourself....if you care:

Now you can get back to what you were doing without the possibility of a gag reflex.
