In reply to the discussion: CNN Faces Calls for Boycott Over Including Trump in Town Hall [View all]Silent Type
(11,536 posts)37. Think the last three paragraphs from the article are correct. trump will not fare well.
"If Trump is the GOP nominee, he will likely get several more live coverage opportunities in the next election cycle, and as independent journalist Brian Krassenstein wrote on Twitter, news organizations are tasked "to show Americans both sides of the picture."
""To attack a news organization for questioning a former president, who wants to be president again, in a town hall setting, is simply insane in my opinion," Krassenstein said. "Americans are smart enough to listen to his answers and make their own decision. They don't need news organizations deciding what they should or should not see."
""Information is never bad," he continued. "If Trump lies, CNN can call him out. Everything doesn't have to involve outrage and boycotts.""
