On August 18, I was interviewed by Randi Kaye on CNN as a follow up to her sympathetic interview with Michelle Rhee.
She was prosecutorial and asked question after question as if she were channeling Rhee.
The interview was not posted online until a week or eight days later, long after the other interviews in the same show.
Now readers discovered that the comments originally posted to the interview were wiped away.
The 20 comments disappeared. I just checked, and now there are three, asking what happened to the other comments.
This is really odd.
So I now repost this earlier post:
A reader sent a link to the CNN interview, in which Randi Kaye pretends for a few minutes to be Michelle Rhee:
in case this has not yet been posted. CNN News Room posted the Randi Kaye interview with Diane Ravitch. There is a comments section which I’m sure we’ll use responsibly. 
Diane Ravitch's blog 
Please post and repost.
Maybe Randi didn’t like them or maybe Rhee didn’t….who runs CNN anyway?
Do they really think we won’t monitor the thread of our own comments? Weren’t we the ones begging vociferously for that interview? I think that they will find that teachers and other people who are sensitive to educational issues have longer than average attention spans, and are likely to notice chicanery.
Hah!! Dirty tricks. Maybe we should dub this series of mistakes Rheegate?
With each passing day, CNN’s credibility and integrity dies. RIP CNN.
I saw that interview and fully agree. Diane, I thought you were great and handled her very well. It’s fantastic to have a voice like yours above the fray.
Isn’t it clear who runs CNN?
FIRE DUNCAN! Hire Ravitch!
Another shameful example of media bias…period
I just watched the interview and I agree that you handled yourself very well and you were spot on in all your comments! Thank you for sticking up for public education!!
And–what was the teacher story on Anderson Cooper 360 last week? It was about the teachers’ union giving contributions to California politicians to sway their votes concerning a teacher molestation law (it didn’t pass, and it didn’t pass because–allegedly–the teachers’ union paid off the polticians {giving them contributions} to make SURE it wouldn’t pass).
And that was the big story about education on CNN this past week.
I wrote this to CNN on Facebook-they replied but obviously did not take the time to spellcheck the complexity of my name 😉

Hey CNN, here is a word for you to look up -INTEGRITY. Your network does not have it as evidenced by the interview of Diane Ravitch. Oh, and bad form to erase dissenting views to your shoddy reporting on your website.

It is a reply. Unfortunately it says nothing more than thanks for writing.
Hey – I just went onto the CNN link and, unless I am merely having a computer problem, THE COMMENTS ARE GONE AGAIN!
This seems to be a pattern. The NYTimes closed comments on the Bruni piece after 52 comments. I know for a fact there were more in their queue because my comment never made it up. Maybe it was too much for a paper of “fact” not to want “the facts” like reporting the Florida legislation voting against The Parent Trigger Law. and Jeb Bush’s involvement in this organization.
So now media outlets know facts can come out in the comment section. Maybe that’s why so many other ed articles in the NYTimes don’t allow for comments.
The DNC has a FB page and I am going to comment on the showing of the movie. Let’s see how long those comments stay up. https://www.facebook.com/demconvention
Just as comments calling out and debunking “Won’t Back Down” have been censored. Censorship is the only way out of having painted yourself into the corner. “What paint? There’s no paint on the floor so there’s no problem walking anywhere we please!”
I believe there are organizations that monitor bias in the media. This interview would be a good example and should be sent to them.
