I get why they put him on, but man was Collins woefully unprepared to handle it. It's a disaster, and if I ran CNN she wouldn't be at 9pm - Remlik May 12, 07:20 12
- don't be dissin' my girl kaitlan, she did as well as *anyone* could've. -- nm - mud ♪ May 12, 08:00 1
  - jfc dude. have some pride -- nm - hollywood big shot May 12, 08:04
- It's really a nearly impossible task (especially with an audience). Also, they should put it on a 15 minute delay and bleep out all the lies. First, - pmb May 12, 07:45 4
  - none of this would ever happen though. He would never agree to be on with them then. -- nm - Jovian May 12, 07:47 3
    - Sure, but then he doesn't go on air. -- nm - pmb May 12, 07:58 2
      - Really maybe that's the way a network should cover his rallies too. -- nm - pmb May 12, 07:59 1
        
        Yep that is what I mean. DJT team made all the rules. Thats how thirsty CNN was for this. And since that is their guiding principle now (ratings), - Jovian May 12, 08:05
- I think we need to understand DJT and his team called *all* the shots here. They picked Collins, the home crowd and the format. - Jovian May 12, 07:39 2
  - yeah you're right. Zaslov and Licht approved this all, curious if News Department Heads spoke against this -- nm - Remlik May 12, 07:41 1
    - and personally, DJT was always sweet on Collins. He never, not once, at any of pressers did ever really attack her. - Jovian May 12, 07:43
- Plus she's a Bama fan. So questionable judgement. -- nm - Volnelk May 12, 07:36
- and if it was anyone but Zaslov and Licht running the show CNN could course correct. But I don't see that happening -- nm - Remlik May 12, 07:23

- That article pulls zero punches. -- nm - Volnelk May 12, 07:09 1
  - Nor should it. The disservice that CNN did the country this week is incalculable. -- nm - Jovian May 12, 07:23
any time you can destroy your legitimacy as a news organization for 800,000 viewers you HAVE to do it. -- nm - Beaker 🍺 May 12, 05:12 13
- hurt not destroyed. With all the backlash, I believe their legitimacy will remain intact with some tactical reparation. -- nm - mud ♪ May 12, 05:41 12
  - Their reputation is forever tarnished. And Cooper cemented that rep last night. -- nm - Jovian May 12, 06:58 4
    - wait, what did he do? -- nm - colin May 12, 07:07 3
      - Gaslit every single viewer last night who was outraged about the Town Hall. - Jovian May 12, 07:11 1
        
        Yup. Normalization of any of these is unacceptable -- nm - Pippy Quintas May 12, 07:27
      - This response. -- (link) - Volnelk 🍊 May 12, 07:11
  - imma have to disagree with this. -- nm - Diva May 12, 06:41
  - Won’t happen because the guys in charge think they did right. They made news! - Will Hunting 🍔🍟🍔🍹🍷 May 12, 05:54 5
    - "Our news truck hit this homeless man. First on the scene, reporting here's.... " -- nm - colin May 12, 06:58 2
      - "...the homeless man has died. Please tune in next week when we interview the former President on his thoughts of homelessness in NYC" -- nm - Jovian May 12, 07:13
      - on the plus side, this may lead to more of Britain's favorite sport - news outlets reporting on other news outlets. -- nm - colin May 12, 07:00
    - we'll see. I've had it on for ~40 years, I am not changing the channel! -- nm - mud ♪ May 12, 05:56 1
      - It’s all good — I’m sure there’s some decent journalists there but the leadership is corrosive with that attitude. - Will Hunting 🍔🍟🍔🍹🍷 May 12, 06:31
