“CNN should be ashamed of themselves,” lamented socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). “They have lost total control of this ‘town hall’ to again be manipulated into platforming election disinformation, defenses of Jan 6th, and a public attack on a sexual abuse victim. The audience is cheering him on and laughing at the host.”
“This is a Trump infomercial,” lamented Meghan McCain.
“This is an irresponsible disaster of journalism. We have absolutely learned nothing,” said Matt Fuller of the Daily Beast.
“This is really not going how CNN must have thought or hoped it would go,” said Yahoo News senior correspondent Michael Weiss. “He is steamrolling, getting laughs for his crassest comments, and seems far more self-assured and confident than someone this deep in the soup should be.”

He’s got total control of this interview and Kaitlin Collins is getting utterly incinerated.

Sarah Reese Jones of PoliticusUSA lamented how CNN chose to begin the interview by not touching the E. Jean Carroll civil trial verdict, which found Trump guilty of sexual abuse and defamation, not rape. The interview eventually did touch on E. Jean Carroll wherein the former president said that women will still vote for him.

TDS on display.
So, everyone is upset. A real life candidate went into the CNN lions den of haters and looked fantastic.
I guess those ‘critics’ of CNN want to see people be tougher on the Presidential candidate interviews.....like all the Networks have done for Biden......
ROFLOL
Due to Trump’s masterful performance at last night’s debate, I will be voting for him for president.
“What a disaster! The victim got to speak!” Throw a rock at a pack of dogs and the one that howls is the one you hit.
Who said CNN has to control the narrative? The left thinks you should only have guests who let you put words in their mouth.
Sucks to be them.
If Trump were a jockey in a horse race, his saddle would have to weigh a thousand pounds to make the Beltway Downs Race, fair.
Our unbiased media had one mission: Destroy Trump!
They tried very hard, but they failed. The media people involved should be shot at dawn. To encourage the others.
“seems far more self-assured and confident than someone this deep in the soup should be”
See, this is why you should never buy into your own propaganda. Trump is confident because he knows there is no “soup” at all. Only people who buy into the propaganda think that the case against Trump won’t get thrown out on appeal, or that it will have any impact at all on Trump’s electoral prospects.
So watching Trump for one hour is worse than having the corrupt Biden Administration ruin Americans’ economic well being, lose a war and destroy our borders.
Give me a break you stupid hysterical liberal twits.
CNN playing tic-tac-toe while PDJT is paying 3D chess. C’mon CNN, let’s have a couple more ‘town halls’ with PDJT. CNN seems to thrive on embarrassment.
.
Indeed.
I wonder if CNN will have any more town halls with him.
Some have noted, that it was scheduled as a 90 minute town hall, but CNN cut it short by 20 minutes, for unexplained reasons.
Some speculate, they cut it short, because Trump was doing so well, and their combative host was flailing. There is speculation that the top management watching said, to pull the plug.
Then they went to Jake Tapper and Van Jones and the gang, to pick apart what was said. Jake Tapper looked like he was ready to burst into tears.
It just shows why the left cannot allow open debate: THEY DO NOT HAVE FACTS ON THEIR SIDE. You cannot win a debate on issues when every assertion you make is destroyed by known fact.
Exactly. A town hall meeting is supposed to have a moderator, not a debater or inquisitor. Where do all these people come from thinking the network should destroy a politician they don’t like?
Old Jake Tapped Out.
Embrace the suck CNN
