CNN appears to be making good on the promise of its new CEO, Chris Licht, to make the network “more Republican friendly.”<\/em> As if that were a credible goal of any alleged journalistic enterprise. What Licht meant was that he wants to try to soak up some of the ratings glow of the ultra-rightist propaganda outlet, Fox News.<\/p>\n

CNN’s newly adopted editorial position of patronizing the GOP is not only unethical, it’s doomed to failure. Fox News viewers have been trained to despise CNN. And why would they watch a weak pretender when they have the real Fox News to satisfy their appetite for crackpot conspiracy theories and lies? Especially considering that even Fox News is struggling to satiate their cravings for conservative delusions.<\/p>\n

In that environment, CNN just announced that they will be gifting Donald Trump with an hour of valuable airtime to conduct what they are calling a “town hall.”<\/em> but is actually a televised Trump rally. The announcement<\/a><\/strong> said that the network…<\/p>\n

“…will feature the former president taking questions from New Hampshire Republicans and undeclared voters who plan to vote in the 2024 GOP presidential primary. […] This will be Trump\u2019s first appearance on CNN since the 2016 presidential campaign.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Among the absurdities of this event is that CNN is bizarrely defining “undeclared voters”<\/em> as those who “plan to vote in the 2024 GOP presidential primary.”<\/em> But that’s just for starters. It’s preposterous that CNN would invite someone to hold a purely political event who is currently being probed for his efforts to steal an election and stage a violent coup against the government of the United States. And it’s equally preposterous that Trump would accept that invitation, considering that he repeatedly disparaged CNN as “fake news”<\/em> that nobody watches. Not to mention his lawsuits against the network.<\/p>\n

It’s unlikely that CNN’s moderator, Kaitlan Collins (previously with the Tucker Carlson founded Daily Caller), will pose any challenging questions to Trump, or make any effort to refute his predictable lies. And the gimmick of throwing the questions to the Republican members of the audience doesn’t bode too well either for this affair providing any useful information for the television viewers.<\/p>\n

However, if Collins were interested in some relevant and probing inquiries, and CNN allowed them, here are just a few that they could – but won’t – consider.<\/p>\n
