CNN likely had more viewers of their town hall event with President Donald Trump Wednesday night than most of their regular shows combined. It was the first time I’d watched more than a clip from the network in years.
Knowing the advertising boom this brought for them, it was odd that they cut off the interview over 20-minutes longer than they had allotted. Congressman Matt Gaetz has a theory:
Did CNN cut it short because Trump was doing SO WELL? I’ve never seen a Town Hall get called like a “Mercy Rule” before. Did that really happen?

Of course, CNN would never admit to it. They’d likely not think of that way themselves. They would justify it by saying they didn’t want to give Trump a platform to “continue lying” or something like that. But other than a couple of unflattering responses, he handled the event spectacularly and came out looking like the Trump of old — unapologetic and ready to sit in the Oval Office.
Even radical Democrat Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez agreed it was a debacle.
This falls squarely on CNN. Everyone here saw exactly what was going to happen. Instead they put a sexual abuse victim in harm’s way for views. This was a choice to platform lies about the election & Jan 6th w/ no plan but to have their moderator interrupted without consequence.-- excerpt, rest at link above --

CNN is trying to save face with the mainstream media after 2024 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump manhandled its town hall host Kaitlan Collins.
At one point, the former president called Collins a “nasty person” after she kept interrupting him Wednesday night in New Hampshire.
The left-leaning network released a statement calling the “CNN This Morning” co-host an example of a “world-class journalist,” despite other journalists on Twitter lambasting her performance.
This is Why Trump Called CNN Host a ‘Nasty Person’
“She asked tough, fair and revealing questions,” CNN said in a statement. “And she followed up and fact-checked President Trump in real time to arm voters with crucial information about his positions as he enters the 2024 election as the Republican frontrunner.”
It added, “That is CNN’s role and responsibility: to get answers and hold the powerful to account.”
The 31-year-old host is reportedly being considered for a primetime slot by CNN CEO Chris Licht, just days after the firing of her co-host Don Lemon.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) had a full-on meltdown.
“CNN should be ashamed of themselves,” the radical Leftist tweeted, adding, “The audience is cheering him on and laughing at the host.”-- excerpt, rest at link above --
