IN-KIND: The CNN Talarico Town Hall Was a Glorified Infomercial
CNN advertised its Jubilee-branded town hall with Texas Democrat Senate nominee James Talarico as an opportunity to engage and ask tough questions.

PolitiFact's Meter Maid Mischief in Defending Trans-Booster Talarico
PolitiFact is demonstrating its partisanship in the Texas campaign for U.S. Senate.
