BloodyHell Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 CNN To Host Trump 2024 Town Hall FREEBEACON.COM CNN announced Monday it will host a town hall with former president Donald Trump next week, as the network faces plummeting ratings. Some people are definitely big mad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I think it’s actually the opposite. Their ratings dropped after They didn’t have Trump to report about every day. Saying CNN is right wing or ever was is wrong. They are centrist economically, but socially they’ve been pretty damn liberal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're actively moving to The Right in a bid to get some of Fox' viewers. This has been known for months and you can see it in their programming now and who they book on their panels. It's a shame because the main reason I watched CNN was because I felt like it was solidly in the middle as opposed to MSNBC and FOX. Now it's getting to the point that I don't even want to watch CNN any more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3xB0t Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 I watched CNN religiously when the Ukrainian conflict reared its ugly head but as soon as that started to become “normal” in the news cycle it got boring, fast. Maybe I’m just not cut out for cable news (I’ve really never watched much of it outside of election nights) but maybe that is part of their problem. At least Fox keeps the inflammatory stuff going. Keeps the rage boner up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 CNN has always been a profit chasing centrist org, the problem is to be “center” in 2023 you have to also be a little bat shit crazy because there is no way to meet the right in the middle without indulging in a bit of fantasy as they are essentially in a different reality at this point. CNN is ran by a right wing ceo now but I think they would be doing the pivot even if that hadn’t changed. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it's already inflicting harm on the public discourse just to give the guy who tried a violent coup and called for his own VP's execution a town hall like he's a normal candidate. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s going to be a favorable environment for Donald. He wouldn’t do it otherwise. CNN isn’t going to rock the boat.

No way Dopey Don is going to back out of a chance at public air time of CNN after losing a trial in spectacular fashion. If there is one thing we’ve learned about Trump its that he doesn’t back down in the face of humiliation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
