It’s not about viewers or changing anyone’s mind who watches CNN but rather it’s about making them uncomfortable in their little safe space. Plus, this way they can’t claim Trump is ignoring or boycotting them - he’s just sending over his toughest surrogates who ream them a new one every time they appear, like Kellyanne or Seb Gorka have done. The goal is go create cognitive dissonance - by showing a different reality than what CNN viewers think.
Good answer.
And Gorka seriously achieved that goal.
Gorka ripped her and CNN a new one. Ripped her and CNN apart.
