This is just sad. You're too caught up to see that this isn't even close to that.
You're so obsessed with hating Krystal Ball you apparently forgot that at least two other media sources are reporting this plus Ball isn't the source of this reporting.
The obsession is yours. You hate that Bernie didn't get the nomination, and you're still grinding that axe. So much so that you forget that this kind of audience stacking has been alleged against other candidates over the past umpteen election cycles. Google it, there's plenty of these allegations.
Yep, me posting reporting on NBC lying about the leanings of the questioners in their town hall is definitely <checks notes> because of Bernie not getting the nomination. More solid logic.

Yes, and for the most part it's questionable whether that's what happened or not. Except this time MSNBC had those exact people on shows before and identified them as anti-Trump or voting for Biden. No chance that's coincidence.
But even if you give NBC the benefit of the doubt on audience stacking, there's still the issue of NBC lying about the leanings of the questioners.
I get she's your hero and all, but you are seriously going bonkers with this. What you want to make a huge stink of is something that has happened every election since town halls started.
By all means, provide evidence of media lying about the questioners that were on the network previously as for or against a candidate and then as undecided for the town hall.

Other media sources on a non-story. But had you only produced the other sources and been told it was a non-story, you'd have disagreed and moved on. You've got your teeth into it because I dared call Ball what she is.

If by "absolutely obsessed with Ball" you mean I remember who she is whenever you post more of her videos, then OK.

So, you didn't check to see that this has happened before and been a non-story, you're just running with it as a scandal because...
...wait for it...
... it's gonna be good, I promise...
Krystal Ball is the one who denounced it. And it's about Biden.
While I disagree with your assessment of Ball, I haven't even argued that. I keep trying to bring the discussion back to the actual issue of what NBC did and it's relevance/consequences.
CNN did it a year ago and not only were there no consequences, Ms. Ball failed to do an expose on it.
And yet, here we are, going on and on about this today because of two things: 1) It was pro-Biden and 2) because of that, Ms. Ball had to expose it. And her fan(s?) are now concerned about it. Deeply. Sincerely.
