Is CNN supporting Donald Trump ?

From footage of campaign rallies, CNN is choosing excerpts that make Hillary look bad, and that make Trump look good.

On CNN yesterday morning (11/2/16, around 8am), I saw about a 30 second excerpt from a Hillary rally.   CNN chose a segment showing her in a bad light, because she was yelling , shouting at the top of her lungs, and appeared to be out of control.

I realize that obviously she had been getting good feedback from the crowd, and that this particular part of the speech was part of the back and forth dynamic between Hillary and her audience, and was being received positively by the audience.  Taken in isolation, however, this video bite made Mrs. Clinton look bad... it made it seem she was ranting and raving... to my ear sounding like an angry parent cussing out a child... while in fact it was no doubt perceived positively by the rally audience, but with very poor optics while viewed out of context on television.  

Directly after the Hillary excerpt, I heard an excerpt from a Donald Trump rally, where he was talking like an adult to an adult, with conviction but with no shouting.  He was spouting total nonsense of course, but the tone was good and sounded rational, and if you are ignorant of the facts, you would say Donald was more credible.  I had not heard his speech from start to finish.  But CNN had chosen a segment where he sounded good, in control, rational.  

Please, Mrs. C, don't get carried away by the crowd and start shouting. Stay a few decibels below that. We love you.  We don't want to see video of you on TV where careless — or hostile — television editors have chosen excerpts from your speeches that make you look out of control.

I should add that in the MSNBC footage of your speeches that I viewed, they chose excerpts where you sounded just fine.
