CNN’s ‘Undecided Voter’ Turns Out to Be a ‘Massive’ Trump Fan
Recently, CNN got caught in a lie during a talk show after Kamala Harris spoke at the Democratic National Convention (DNC).
They had a so-called “undecided voter” named Bryant Rosado on their panel, but it turns out he’s actually a big Trump fan online. This mess shows how big media organisations play in shaping public narratives and the urgent need for accountability.

Rosado’s Deception
Rosado appeared on CNN as an undecided voter but later revealed a preference for Trump. After Harris’s speech, he said he liked Trump better.
This story spread on social media, making it seem like unsure voters were moving towards Trump. But when people looked at Rosado’s social media, they found lots of pro-Trump posts. He was never really undecided.
Trying to Fool People
Rosado’s statements following Kamala Harris’s speech seemed designed to mislead.
By portraying himself as an undecided voter who found her speech unconvincing enough to sway him to Trump, he provided a talking point for right-wing accounts that amplified his comments across social media.
This deliberate misrepresentation not only deceives the audience but calls into question CNN’s vetting process.
CNN’s Accountability
Rosado claims that CNN was aware of his pro-Trump stance but chose to include him as an undecided voter. If true, this points to a deliberate attempt by CNN to shape a particular narrative, violating journalistic integrity.
Even if Rosado’s claim is untrue, CNN’s failure to vet its panelists adequately is a significant oversight. Proper due diligence, such as reviewing social media activity, could have prevented this debacle.
Other News Shows Do It Too
This isn’t just a CNN problem.
Fox News also twists stories to fit what their narrative. They chose not to air speeches by disaffected Republicans and former Trump officials during the DNC, thereby avoiding presenting viewpoints critical of Trump. This selective reporting deprives the audience of a balanced perspective.

The Impact of Fake News
When both CNN and Fox News twist stories, it increases public distrust in the media and fuels political polarization.
When major news outlets indulge in shaping narratives rather than reporting facts, they distort the democratic process by influencing voter perception based on incomplete or biased information.
What these media organizations should do is their job without spreading certain narratives.
Oh, we aren’t living in a fancy world. Don’t expect them to show you the truth; you should seek it out yourself.
