Douglas Golden<\/h3>\n<p>Last week, CNN hosted a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/joe-biden-knows-he-messed-up-on-fracking-at-debate-and-is-now-doing-damage-control-the-daily-wire\/\" title=\"Joe Biden Knows He Messed Up On Fracking At Debate And Is Now Doing Damage Control | The Daily Wire\">town hall<\/a> with former President Donald Trump, promising to &#8220;fact-check Trump in real time.&#8221; However, the event turned into a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/extremists-in-portland-attack-police-officers-vandalize-businesses-set-fires\/\" title=\"Extremists In Portland Attack Police Officers, Vandalize Businesses, Set Fires\">dumpster fire<\/a>, with moderator Kaitlan Collins failing to hold Trump accountable for his statements. Despite this, CNN&#8217;s brass has stood by their position that Collins did a great job. <\/p>\n<p>While the event did bring in 3.3 million viewers, it was a victory that came at a cost. Dumpster fires may burn brightly and attract attention, but they also leave behind damage. And in this case, the damage was the failure to hold a former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/former-bloomberg-presidential-campaign-staffers-hit-with-tax-bills-on-income-higher-than-their-salaries\/\" title=\"Former Bloomberg Presidential Campaign Staffers Hit With Tax Bills On Income Higher Than Their Salaries\">president accountable<\/a> for his actions.<\/p>\n<p>Trump left the event feeling triumphant, regardless of whether the &#8220;fact-checking in real time&#8221; failed or if Collins was simply trying to pick a fight with him. The event showed that Trump was still in top form, and the network still called Collins a &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ozy-media-shuts-down-after-scrutiny-over-inflated-site-statistics-and-reach\/\" title=\"Ozy Media Shuts Down After Scrutiny Over Inflated Site Statistics And Reach\">world-class journalist<\/a>&#8221; despite her failure to hold Trump accountable.<\/p>\n<h3>Did Collins Do a Good Job?<\/h3>\n<p>Many Twitter users criticized Collins for making the event all about herself, rather than the audience or Trump&#8217;s responses. Meanwhile, left-leaning figures portrayed Collins as a victim thrown to the wolves by CNN management. However, Trump&#8217;s tweets leading up to and on the day of Jan. 6, 2021, were factually accurate, and CNN failed to hold him accountable for his actions.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cnn-labels-trump-town-hall-host-a-world-class-journalist-after-event-totally-backfires\/\" title=\"CNN praises Trump town hall host despite event's failure.\">loudest calls decrying<\/a> what happened at the town hall came from inside CNN&#8217;s own house, with Oliver Darcy publishing a piece the day after the event criticizing the spectacle of lies that aired on CNN. Anderson Cooper also had an on-air meltdown, apologizing to CNN viewers for covering real news and not just being a safe space for lefty rage.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the event was bear-baiting at its finest and had little to do with the issues concerning voters going into 2024. While CNN may call it &#8220;world-class journalism,&#8221; it was a failure to hold a former president accountable for his actions.<\/p>\n<h3>Key Takeaways:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>CNN&#8217;s town hall with Trump was a dumpster fire, with moderator Kaitlan Collins failing to hold Trump accountable for his statements.<\/li>\n<li>Despite this, CNN&#8217;s brass has stood by their position that Collins did a great job.<\/li>\n<li>Trump left the event feeling triumphant, and the event showed that he was still in top form.<\/li>\n<li>Some of the loudest calls decrying what happened at the town hall came from inside CNN&#8217;s own house.<\/li>\n<li>The event was bear-baiting at its finest and had little to do with the issues concerning voters going into 2024.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CNN&#8217;s town hall with ex-President Donald Trump was meant to have moderator Kaitlan Collins fact-check him in real-time.
