“The Memo,” a regular column by the Hill associate editor Niall Stanage, rounded up comments from Trump allies, Trump foes, and even a “prominent on-air talent” at CNN who all recognize the left-leaning network’s failure to do the former president any damage whatsoever.

The column notes the turmoil inside CNN caused by Trump’s town hall win, and the “dismay” of Trump critics that the former president’s sexual assault trial in New York appeared to have no impact on his popularity.
According to the Hill:
CNN delivered former President Trump his best moment of the 2024 campaign.
…
Trump enjoyed more than an hour of primetime in front of a supportive crowd whose loud reactions helped him swat aside any challenging questions from moderator Kaitlan Collins.
The event has caused days of internal ructions inside CNN, where staffers are appalled by what took place; it has drawn scorn and indignation from the left; and it has helped Trump underline his dominance of the GOP primary field.
A “prominent on-air talent” at CNN also said they were “ashamed” to work at the network after the Trump town hall, calling the event a “corporate and management failure.”
“It was a total debacle and I’ve never been more ashamed to work at CNN,” said the anonymous talent. “I don’t think anybody came out looking good. This is entirely a corporate and management failure. They should have anticipated how out of control Trump would be.”

Why not?
Biden has already beat Trump (legitimately or not, YMMV).
Why be surprised when they try to repeat the contest?
(Yes, I voted for Trump twice, yes, I’d do it again, or vote for whomever the pubs put up against Biden, etc.)
Except for the ratings, Trump gave CNN their worst campaign moment so far.
“It was a total debacle and I’ve never been more ashamed to work at CNN,” said the anonymous talent. “I don’t think anybody came out looking good. This is entirely a corporate and management failure. They should have anticipated how out of control Trump would be.”

The outrage and weeping of Leftists over Trump’s stellar performance on CNN recently is really laughable. But take special note of that last sentence because it reveals exactly how those on the Left view not just President Trump but every peasant who is not in lockstep with their tyrannical authority! WE, LIKE PRESIDENT TRUMP, ARE OUT OF CONTROL! WHO’S CONTROL? WHY THEIRS OF COURSE!
So that's the mission statement for our LAAP-dog media these days?

Given that it was a Republican "primary" town hall, CNN couldn't really stack the audience with Democrat shills.

I've NEVER seen a CNN town hall or interview with a democrat guest on CNN that didn't have a supportive audience. And a supportive butt kissing moderator. Maybe they can pull some clips from Biden interviews to 'prove us wrong'...LOL - never happen.
CNN has always kissed democrat butt.
And the questions weren't 'challenging' for Trump they were pure liberal 'gotcha' crap.
Notice how much the WH and media pups pimp more white supremacist stories of late.
Trump’s truth gave the let a kick to the balls.
Thinning TDS members have the democrats in MEGA panic.
