How is this different from 2016? They were wall to wall Trump. -- nm - loosilu May 1, 14:10
I agree with you. Seeing the NYT do their own version of such as we get deeper into 2023 as well. -- nm* - Qale May 1, 13:05 1

Don't watch enough to know, but I don't really know how any news organization handles Trump at the moment. He's the GOP front runner for president. - pmb May 1, 13:05 6
- Where is Biden's town hall then? Doesnt get one? How about DeSantis? - Jovian May 1, 13:08 5
  - DeSantis hasn't announced he's running yet, but they would do one with him too. Really, they will do any legitimate contender which in ordinary times - pmb May 1, 14:00
  - There will absolutely be Biden town halls. I don't think you need to worry about that. -- nm - pmb May 1, 13:58
  - I'm sure they'd do a Biden one if Biden asked, to be fair. - ty97 May 1, 13:29 1
    - They’d love to do a Biden town hall, I’m sure. just think of all the new material they’d get to lie about him with. -- nm - znufrii 🦄 May 1, 13:32
  - This is Trump owning the libs. - Spawn May 1, 13:10
I can not say as I quit watching them some time ago. - Spawn May 1, 12:53 3
- you still love me though, right? -- nm - mud ♪ May 1, 12:56 2
  - and I do as well. I just disagree with you vehemently on this point! -- nm - Jovian May 1, 13:01
  - Of course. It is totally debatable how far a swing is too much. -- nm - Spawn May 1, 13:00
would it matter if someone did? -- nm - Diva May 1, 12:51 2
- no, it was rhetorical. -- nm - Jovian May 1, 13:00
- evidently not. -- nm - mud ♪ May 1, 12:58
yes. Once more I'll say that a shift to the center, to be LESS LIKE MSNBC, is not a swing to the right (to be more like Fox) It is a calculation to .. - mud ♪ May 1, 12:43 22
- Sorry but the right wing is so fvcking nazi that centrist CNN seemed like socialists, so now center is right conservative -- nm - zeitgeist May 1, 13:18
- I agree with mud. - Reluctant Cynic May 1, 12:54 5
  - It’s affirmative action and in line with the principles of a liberal media organization. -- nm - Roger More May 1, 14:14

    - Merely parroting the corporate/politico speech I know only so well. -- nm - Reluctant Cynic May 1, 13:08 1
      - lol oh okay! Then you did it perfect!! -- nm - Jovian May 1, 13:09
    - lol I also look forward to when Fox News extends the Town Hall invitation to Joe Biden. -- nm - Jovian May 1, 12:58
- nobody pointed a camera at empty Trump stage harder in 2016 than Jeff Zucker. they’ve never been anywhere close to MSNBC -- nm - hollywood big shot May 1, 12:52 2
  - At the time I was working at FEMA and they had all the major networks on wall screens. CNN was all Trump. -- nm - loosilu May 1, 14:12
  - They are 90% of the reason he got so much visibility in 2015 2016. He got 20-30 minutes of CNN airtime after every single debate. -- nm - Jovian May 1, 12:55
- but hasn't the center moved to the right? -- nm - colin May 1, 12:52 4
  - I'd say that since Jan. 6/21 your average centrist has definitely shifted left. -- nm - mud ♪ May 1, 12:54 1
    - i feel like liberals have shifted to the right.. most people didn't need to move their views to stay "centrist" and stay on the right. - colin May 1, 13:05
  - there is no center. There is democracy and then their is the American Fascist movement. -- nm - Jovian May 1, 12:53 1
    - there is a center on a lot of issues. they together amount to where we fall left/right. -- nm - colin May 1, 13:03

    - its not amusing in the least. Its steps like this that will help him back into power. - Jovian May 1, 12:50 1
      - who watches CNN anyway? -- nm - colin May 1, 13:07
