Why did CNN host a town hall with former President Trump? For the ratings, baby. The network has been in the ratings doldrums for so long that it decided Trump was the person to put them in the win column. He did. The town hall got a Tucker Carlson level rating with 3.3 million viewers. CNN was the most-watched cable news network of the evening and that hasn’t happened in years.
Axios reports that on an editorial call with CNN employees Thursday morning, CEO Chris Licht defended the event.
“It is our job to get those answers and hold him accountable,’ he said while acknowledging that covering Trump is “messy
This was the first time I have watched CNN. I had to look-up where the channel was listed on my cable provider.
It was well worth the effort just to watch the old Trump of 2016 runs rings around hapless CNN and watch them cry UNCLE
by cutting the allotted time by twenty minutes. I told everybody to watch it. I never thought I would be saying...thanks CNN.

Getting rid of pukes won't change matters. It will always be the Communist News(Fake) Network. And the electorate sheep, Baa Baa, thought he was going to change things.

Nameless, faceless groups with no leader. You can't confront a group, for whom do you call out?

CEO Chris Licht says, “It is our job to get those answers and hold him accountable.’ Yet, they do absolutely nothing to hold Biden or any other Democrat accountable. It is a disgrace.

So is there some person who calls themselves a color of light which is invisible to humans?

When I read the headline I thought it was referring to the Andy Warhol film star of the 70’s and I wondered if she was really still alive. If she is, she probably has a better functioning brain, even after all of the drugs, than this bunch of whiny butt-hurt toddlers.

Why? Because as liberals they are so full of themselves they actually believed they could out-talk Trump and he would be so taken back when confronted by their brilliant words he would be speechless!

The article states that CNN is a business and it lives and dies on ratings. Bull hockey! If true, CNN would have folded long ago. CNN is fake news and it lives and dies depending on the propaganda it spews. They dared to go off the reservation and it’s viewers are incensed and demanding that the CEO resign or be fired. Not only did the truth get out, it shined a light so brightly on the failures of this cabal of fascists that far too many minds were in jeopardy of actually hearing the truth. Now the radical left is going to make such a big deal of it that President Trump won’t be afforded another platform on any other channels. It is amazing what truth will do to people. They have two reactions; they listen and are provoked to think or they screech like demons who have been sprinkled with holy water.
President Trump will not be allowed to speak on any of these networks again. The moment he pulled out a copy of his tweets from January 6th and started reading them, they realized he had to be silenced. People are not stupid. They are living through the Biden disaster. They remember life under the Trump administration and the contrast cannot be more clear.
President Trump was such a threat CNN shut down the town hall early. He is not messing around. He wants to win and he wants to defeat these lawless democrats with every fiber of his being. He may not be your cup of tea because of his personality, but he won’t lie to your face and be the most destructive President in modern history and that includes the boy king. If you want to save the country from complete destruction, Trump’s your guy. He keeps his promises, gets things done and will never make a decision that is detrimental to this country. No one else can touch him and that is why all our enemies in both parties and the globalists around the world hate him. They fear he will do what he says he will do and that is anathema to their godless agenda. Trump 2024!

#5, the warriors' philosophy during the Vietnam War was, "kill 'em all, let God sort 'em out." At this point, we are at war and when our homes, families and way of life are attacked, we will respond appropriately.

This President Trump audience ratings sweep aside; when CNN is normally listed with only a few hundred thousand screens tuned in I ask the same question. What corporate marketing team and ad agency would pay millions of dollars to place their product or service to so few consumers with probably not the purchasing power demographic? Do they suffer the same cognitive dissonance as the script readers?

If Trump loses the election, CNN should hire him as CEO.

Accountable for what? Closing the Southern Borders from invaders? Building up our military? Lowering the price of gasoline? Not letting China run all over us because he took bribes and doesn't want that to get out? Yeah, Trump is guilty alight? Licht, with that remarks shows he approves of what Biden has done to our country, and he needs to lose every viewer of that propaganda machine he runs.

FTA - "But it was a success for CNN. CNN’s base audience may have been irritated that Trump was given the platform but the event was a ratings success. That is what matters. CNN is a business. They live or die by ratings."
The only reason the communist news network is still around - Trump. Its woke advertisers can now expect a year and a half of strong pre-election viewership. I can't wait to witness President Trump's first press briefing in January 2025. MSM, how about you?

For the record, I think Trump should move this telecast into his Charitable Giving column for this year. It sure as heck will beat the used underwear the high-&-mighty Clintons donated years ago.

The ONLY reason the loser CNN underlings are so mad, not angry but MAD, is that their champion shrew got publicly disemboweled by the ever superior President Trump...Their TDS boiled over because even they recognized the complete failure of the "Nasty" moderator...Hahahaha..
