Anderson Cooper scolds critics of CNN’s town hall with Trump

I'm glad CNN is doing what they're doing. They're trying to get back to being a news network. It's a noble effort.

Same w/ Fox.

These are positive developments for our country. We'll never remove bias from these networks completely - or from any news source - but it's good to see them try.

Not at all, they are returning to their first five years when they were simply a news organization.

They are getting rid of all their opinionated journalists.

Would be nice if it works out; seems a long shot. Hopefully that substitute for journalism show with Trump isn't an example.

But it’s letting their new markets know that they aren’t biased like they were.

Expect many more republicans to appear on their network.

If they can pull off this transition it will set the standard for unbiased journalism and I think we would all love to see that

CNN star Anderson Cooper defended his network’s widely reviled town hall with former president Donald Trump, condemning “ridiculous lies” Trump told at the event, but also admonishing critics who feel CNN should never held it.

“You have every right to be outraged today and angry and never watch this network again,” Cooper said on his show late Thursday, the day after the town hall. “But do you think staying in your silo and only listening to people you agree with is going to make that person go away?”

Yes, God forbid not appearing on CNN would doom Trump to obscurity.

CNN needs to do something about their low ratings. Collins did a fine job. There's really not much more Collins could have done to conduct a mature exchange with that gross infant.

CNN can go to the far right. I doubt it will work.

It was mostly journalism. I like Kaitlin Collins. She’s very intelligent and has come very far for a 31 year old. Still, I will agree she did cross over into “making the news” a few times but don’t know if that was her volition or her producer(s).

As anyone who watched it or read the transcript knows, Trump has no honor, no integrity and is a consummate liar. It would be irrational to expect Trump to adhere to the standards of a purely journalistic setting.

Nope, CNN made news. It did not practice journalism, just as it would not be journalism by the Music Channel in the weird event they sponsored the show.

You and I can agree to disagree on that point.
