Trump Town Hall Confirms CNN’s Right-Wing Pivot

CNN CEO Chris Licht is under fire for his comment that the network's town hall event in New Hampshire with Donald Trump "made a LOT of news." Licht made the comment in an attempt to defend CNN's decision to host Trump, but it has only served to further anger critics who believe that CNN is giving Trump a platform to spread lies and misinformation.

Trump made numerous false and misleading statements during the town hall, including claims that the 2020 election was rigged and that Democrats are responsible for the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

The CNN town hall was criticized by many because they felt that host Kaitlan Collins was too soft on Trump. Collins did not ask him tough enough questions, and she seemed to be more interested in giving Trump a platform to promote his own agenda than in holding him accountable for his actions.

The criticism of Collins's past work for The Daily Caller, and her performance in the town hall with Trump, is another sign that CNN is moving in a right-wing direction. Many see this as CNN trying to appeal to disgruntled Fox News viewers by giving them another conservative news source.

CNN employees were reportedly furious at the network's decision to give Trump a platform. The town hall was a ratings success for CNN, but it was also a public relations disaster. CNN’s town hall is a betrayal of its journalistic mission, and it further erodes the network's credibility.
