Tell CNN what you think about the tfg town hall: Feedback link:

https://help.cnn.com/us/Feedback

Here's mine:

Trump town hall? He tried to overthrow the government!

Are you seriously entertaining a traitor? Treating him like he's a legitimate candidate?

You're pretending he's a statesman? Have you forgotten that potus is the only elected seat he ever won, and it was marginal? Is that how low you have to go to survive? Pander to his idiot maga base? Shame on you.

The Most Trusted, my ass.

I haven’t watched CNN for ages since they are no better than Fox. Gave them a piece of my mind for hosting a rapist and a traitor. Even Fox hasn’t done that

May 2023



A reminder that CNN is now heavily influenced by key Warner Bros. Discovery board member and Trump supporter, John Malone.

Malone is chairman of Liberty Media, Discovery's largest shareholder.

He previously donated $250,000 to Trump's inauguration, and gushed over Fox News' style of 'journalism,' saying, the U.S. "needs Fox News or something like it. Because otherwise, everything’s leftist."

The use of his term "leftist" here really says it all.

Malone has also compared himself to Rupert Murdoch: "Rupert is sort of like I am. He’s a libertarian, but he thinks we should have a strong military," he told the Financial Times in 2017.

According to Vox, Malone has repeatedly wished, in public, for CNN to remake itself.

NO Trump, no Trump Town Hall. He should have no platform to spew his lies. I stopped watching CNN when you had racist Lou Dobbs. New CNN low treating a traitor like he should actually run for president again.

I added their own ratings numbers to point out that he wasn't a sustainable ratings boost so this is a poor BUSINESS decision, as well.

Why, oh WHY, would you give Donald J. Trump a "presidential" town hall? In the first place, that slimy orange bastard is NOT the president! He's a twice impeached EX president who tried to get the results of an election thrown out because he didn't like the fact that HE LOST! He masterminded and orchestrated an attempted overthrow of the U.S, Government! He did his best to try to tear this country apart!

If you think THIS S.O.B. deserves a TV special all to himself, a free platform from which he can continue to weave his web of LIES, LIES, and MORE LIES, you are out of your damned minds.

I actually USED to have a lot of respect for CNN. If you actually do this, that will be the end of that. Oh well, I only watch MSNBC these days anyway, so I won't miss you at all. Hasta la vista, CNN.

If the interview is "softball" I'll complain. I'm not objecting in advance to a news network interviewing a major Presidential candidate, and I'd prefer that voters be aware of what Trump is saying in the run-up to the Primary season.

I don't want to live in a one-party state or with one-party media.

Trump is running. He's the leading Republican contender. I loathe the man as much as anyone here, and I'm looking forward to Joe Biden beating him like a drum (again).

But no way in hell do I believe that it is the role of responsible media to de-platform major candidates (when if we/they despise them).

I prefer to live in a liberal society. Sorry.

the more stupidity he shows even some of his fans are sick and tired of his same old arrogant act. I agree it's not the media's role to deplatform a major parties candidate.
