CNN packed the room with Trump supporters. This was a demand of Trump’s, and #CNN acceded to it. Potential Trump opponents, like Democrats, were not allowed in.
That is not a “Town Hall,” and it is not a “news event.” Yet look at how Chris Licht justifies it. He pretends that the “media” has been “ignoring that those people exist.”
Wow, democrats are really showing their colors today with this whole "boycott the CNN" thing... Unless I missed soemthing he is a presidential candidate, and one who so far hasnt been found guilty of anything that would disqualify him... and a popular one.
Yes he is a piece of shit, and yes he has no business being in politics... But its not CNNs job to make those decisions. Their job is to let the candidates say their piece and let the public decide from there (or the courts if there are legal questions).
As much as I hate Trump... I lost so much respect for the democrats today. Supporting censorship, specifically doing so with the intent of winning an election in their favor, is a new low... dont be that party...
I mean, yeah, I dislike some ways #BBC reports about matters but I am still happy they decided to participate in the #Fediverse.
Heck even if #CNN joins I will be happy, and I loathe their reporting.
You want decentralised #SocialMedia to gain popularity and diversity, or do you just want to keep it "pure" and populated by people who agree with you?
Media outlets have a responsibility to fact check a presidential candidate regardless of party affiliation. #CNN failed to fact check Trump last night if you are defending CNN"s decision to give a liar a traitor a sexual predator a platform I'm going to assume you are a republican and I will either A unfollow you or B block you. Also for the record a jury in NY ruled that Trump did sexually assault defame E Jean Carroll and injure her as a result of the sexual assault.
CNN has exclusively obtained the audio recording of the 2021 meeting in Bedminster, New Jersey, where President Donald Trump discusses holding secret documents he did not declassify.
Anderson Cooper lecturing people has me seeing red. How dare he. #CNN shoved Trump in our faces and he’s trying to make it sound as if we’re being unappreciative???
Last I checked viewers dictate what is popular, not what the networks think we should be watching.
Forcing an insurrectionist into our living rooms was bad enough. Telling us we should like it is beyond the pale.
Unbelievable : The most recent #Politico articles published this week still lead with the false story of "40 beheaded babies", despite #CNN and the White House retracting this claim. Thus, Politico is actively pushing a false story to manufacture consent for Israel's military aggression against #Gaza, which has left over 7,000 civilians dead.
I don’t know why everyone suddenly has amnesia about the fact that #CNN was bought by a conservative asshole & is just hoping you won’t notice long enough to radicalize you based on the network’s former reputation, inertia, & brand loyalty.
Understand: What #CNN is doing is perfect, textbook #centrism. If you're a centrist, you will always support the worst, most malicious, most toxic, most violent side of anything, while patting yourself on the back for being such a civilized individual.
I don't know what to tell you - that's just how your stupid fence-sitting position works.
The #CNN "don't you think you should hear from both sides" defense of the #Trump town hall is intellectual dishonesty.
To be an informed citizen you should know the arguments and policy positions of the major players/parties on the political stage. You needn't continually soak yourself in the excruciating minutia of their implications.
I.e. You should be aware the GOP views women and minorities as second class citizens. You needn't delve and engage on a point by point basis.
I still try not to post CNN stuff. Depends if they are the only one carrying it, but otherwise there are more reputable, trustworthy outlets that will carry it.
A #Black#Texas high school student has been suspended for more than a week because his #loc hairstyle violated the district’s #DressCode, his mother said. It could become test o new state law that bans #discrimination based on hairstyles.
#DarrylGeorge, a junior at #BarbersHill High School in #MontBelvieu, received multiple disciplinary action notes, placed on suspension for wearing his locs hairstyle in a ponytail, his mother told #CNN.
Remember how the Trump media #CNN#MSNBC#ABC#CBS#NBC like to tell America and especially black voters how Trump is getting black voters? Again! as we've been saying it's just another lie.(PROOF)👇
