"You gave evil a cheering section..."

Apologize all you want @AC360. CNN failed. You gave evil a cheering section. This was a one-sided, hate-spewing, circus without a ringmaster. Stop normalizing fascism and intolerance. Balanced coverage is not an open mic for despotism. You fuel the beast to line your pockets.

1. Yes, we have "the power to do something about it".

And that power starts with turning off CNN.

3. I want to tell Anderson, I never watch CNN so it's not my fault

[COL Mustard]

9. I'm with you.

I haven’t watched CNN for years. Or any other TV news either, for that matter.

[Walleye]

2. My dear Anderson, you fuck, I don't have the power to do anything about this. You do

Don’t try and blame CNN’s fuck up on us. Treating Trump fans like they are normal political supporters, and how can he be the “front runner” when the election is a year and a half away. The polls have not been right on this guy ever. How about waiting till the primaries and there are actual votes being taken. Fuck in talking heads are so anxious to normalize this guy and get him back in our lives again. Apparently beating him In elections doesn’t do any good, arresting him does no good, get him off the air!

6. Trump declared early, did rallies, did a fake town hall,

to impress one person, Merrick Garland. If DOJ ever does indict Garland Trump will claim it is a partisan witch hunt.

I myself do not believe in polls but I have ears and eyes and for once I believe the polls. There is no one running against Trump who is close to beating him. To beat Trump you have to take him on completely, you can't be saying that you will vote for him if he is the nominee.

Trump, at this stage right now, has the nomination locked up, who can beat him?

7. I guess it depends on if the GOP wants to be a legitimate political party, or a Trump fan club

[gab13by13]

4. I heard that the audience was not allowed to Boo,

I said that this would be staged, Trump needs to be in control. Trump is moving forward with the overt help of CNN now to becoming our nation's first dictator for life.

5. Being told not to boo? That would never stop MAGA. They do what they want and revel in the power.

If there were any non-MAGA there at all, they should've booed, and booed loudly.

[gab13by13]

8. The audience was screened,

they were 100% Magat and they were told they were not allowed to Boo, not that they needed to be told.

Trump did a televised rally disguised as a town hall.

[COL Mustard]

10. And played CNN

Like a cheap fiddle apparently.

[taxi]

14. There's that Republican hipocracy again -

The House republicans can boo anyone at any time, but the rest of the magats can't and won't. GMAB

11. A most powerful thread title.

right to the point.

[dalton99a]

12. +1. Powerful and accurate.

13. Why should corporate greed and focus on profit stop at the media industry door?

Truth and fairness are not so profitable,, so they don’t do much of that…why is corporate greed such a surprise?

[panfluteman]

15. Frantic Attempts at Damage Control - That's What AC 360 and CNN Are Engaged In.

An orgy of fact checking and countervailing opinion pieces immediately followed the disastrous Trump town hall meeting. Ultimately, CNN may be a casualty, but the silver lining may be that America is jolted from its political slumber by this flaming wake up call.

16. Now Fux Nooze has a true competitor

The Fake News competition is heating up.

[Ferrets are Cool]

17. You fuel the beast to line your pockets

[Ohioboy]

18. It was Trump rally without the merch and stupid costumes

Actually I'm only guessing there wasn't merch. They may of just had it off camera.

19. K&R, Absurdism should never be a "side" to listen to

[Bengus81]

20. CNN working both sides of the street for a buck

They figure FOX is damaged goods so they're stepping in.

CNN=FAKE TOWN HALL

[Farmer-Rick]

21. It wasn't even good television

It was a pouty, rage fest for a wannabe dicktater. It was a predictable venting of all his imagined slights...except for the defamation of Carroll which he had just been fined $5 million for, then he turns around and does it again.

To make it even more boring and disgusting they put in a shy, slight woman to be the one who gets insulted for daring to ask the king of stinking lumps mild unprovocative questions.

Then they play acted it out in front of a bunch of Trump groupies.

And somehow CNN and their Warner Bros, Discovery conglomerate filthy rich CEO and owners, thought this would be great cable news. They should have just run an old WWIi Hitler speech.
