The Left is flipping out, but the Right is enjoying every moment. Let’s hope this continues… A New CNN would be welcome.
CNN CEO, Chris Licht, defended the network’s choice to host a town hall featuring former President Donald Trump, emphasizing the significance of providing a platform for diverse perspectives, even when there are disagreements. In addressing the concerns raised by staff members over the decision, Licht commended anchor Kaitlan Collins for her adept handling of the challenging situation, navigating through Trump’s false statements and confrontational remarks amidst a lively Republican audience.
However, women’s advocacy group UltraViolet strongly criticized CNN, accusing the network of enabling Trump by hosting the town hall. The organization called for the dismissal of CEO Chris Licht, asserting that such action would demonstrate a sense of accountability for broadcasting the event. In the lead-up to the town hall, CNN faced considerable backlash from prominent Democrats and progressives who deemed the decision to provide a platform for Trump as distasteful and problematic.

UltraViolet did not relent in their criticism following the airing of the town hall. The organization reiterated their demand for Licht’s termination, arguing that it would serve as a tangible measure of holding CNN responsible for their role in the broadcast. On the other hand, there were commentators who praised Trump’s performance during the event. They highlighted his preparedness, quick wit, and ability to engage viewers, except for those who may lack a sense of humor. Trump’s exchanges with Collins during the town hall garnered attention and amusement from observers, with some describing it as a lighthearted showdown that left them entertained.

The best part of the night is when Donald Trump called the CNN hack Kaitlin Collins a nasty woman. Trump was on absolute fire! Better than 2016 Trump.
