"CNN Picking Up Where Fox News Left Off?" May 12, 2023 News Commentary by Bill Kelly
Ridicule and disgust continues to grow over the so-called Trump Town Hall
The ridicule and disgust continues to grow over the so-called Trump Town Hall on Wednesday evening and the overwhelming majority of the anger is directed, not at Donald Trump, but at CNN, and rightly so.
The flimsy excuse that CNN officials gave, that they wanted to have Democratic and Republican voices on the key issues facing America, is a smoke screen.
Members of both parties regularly appear on the network with their contrary points of view. Instead, CNN chose to give a platform to a known sexual predator and serial liar for one reason only; namely to grab TV ratings.
The stench of hypocrisy is nauseating; just weeks ago, CNN sanctimoniously dumped long-time news anchor Don Lemon for making misogynist remarks on air and then, they embrace a man whose exploits make Harvey Weinstein look virtuous!
And Trump used that opportunity to, once again, slander the reputation of the woman who just won a court decision against Trump, and when challenged by the female host on the matter, Trump insulted her and continued his litany of lies.
There are some talented and dedicated journalists at CNN who have worked diligently over the years to expose Donald Trump for the fraud that he is.
Fox News used to be the unabashed cheerleaders for Trump’s illogical rants, until, that is, the Fox executives and on-air talking heads, admitted under oath that they knew Trump was lying about everything all along.
Now, it seems CNN wants to pick up where Fox News left off!
