Predictably, CNN continues to get hammered for giving Donald Trump air time last week. But there is more to this situation than most Americans realize.
As soon as CNN announced the Town Hall in New Hampshire, the well-organized far left began its campaign: Trump should not be allowed to speak on television. He should be canceled forever.
The usual suspects disseminated that totalitarian point of view and then immediately formulated the after-party strategy: no matter how the Town Hall turned out, it would be portrayed as heinous, hideous, and hapless. And CNN would also be ridiculed for sending a message to any other media organization that might invite Trump to appear.
CNN should have anticipated that but did not. The left disqualify the former president because they hate him. He tells "lies," so he should be silenced.
The CNN moderator, Kaitlin Collins, is a talented broadcaster but played right into the radical narrative by asking about the 2020 election. Did Ms. Collins actually believe Donald Trump would repudiate his "rigged" mantra? So why bother with that? Discuss issues.
But, no, CNN whacked itself in the head, and the bleeding continues. In this brutal political climate, anticipating carnage is absolutely imperative.
