Look the other way. so on this point, nicolle,you deserve praise because this should be a lead story every hour. the idea that the gop is so flirting with fascism. i m grateful that you are talking about it. well, i don t know what to do when anyone gives me any compliments, so don t ever do it again. but thank you for coming back twice in one week. i just don t know what we are if we act like this is normal. and if it doesn t scare you, you are not paying attention. and i think that platforming extremism and hatred, only reason i covered cnn s decision to have trump on this week. only power is platforms and trying to use them to sign a light and maybe this is an example that rachel s coverage and other coverage can had some impact. because i think that if it has no impact, then we re really in deep you know what. ....
Your town hall for asa hutchinson and tim scott, and are do youing town hall for every candidate? and if not, why did you do donald trump? and to anderson s point, who i have a lot of respect, for are it is not about the silo, it is about what is the policy there, because unless you re having town halls for every republican candidate that can put their people in the audience, then explain to us why you made an exception for donald trump. and if it is not an exception, give us the calendar when you are doing the other town hall meetings. specifically on the end of that, there is nothing scheduled about. but there may be. i m not going to be a cnn defender. and there is a question about policies. nikki haley. is it announced? yes, so there is three then. i m sorry. ....
With fibbing but going out and saying absurd things about the foundations of american democracy, like spreading conspiracy theories through this very large mega phone. if you are going to have that man on, and not surrender the platform, have a tough journalist, don t do it live, and don t put it in front of an audience that is, at least not an audience that you are, that turns out to be, at least by all appearances, turned out to not be an audience of undecided voters but turned out to be an audience overwhelmingly pro-trump audience. there are things you can do to achieve the goal of cnn that i think in good faith does want to achieve. there s things to learn from this. the things to learn from it are some of the things you are talking about today. but again, i don t think it was just a completely cynical ratings grab, i don t think i think they were platforming him, i think they learned hopefully that this, and to your point, to blame the things that went wrong, to blame that on the ....
On air, i don t think it is right, if your position, the head of cnn, love chris, a friend of mine, but did he say, i m not going to people on the air when they say it is raining and it is not, and saying it is raining outside every day over and over again when it is not and in fact is a fire hose of disinformation and put him on live. i don t think i think he s going to get covered, she get scrutinized, we need to hear how dangerous he is, he is more dangerous now than he was even seven years ago, and we need know, that everyone needs to know that, that s what you do every day is remind people how dangerous he is. but we don t need to have him on live to millions of people and put him in front of a crowd that will applaud him over and over again. i think the thing is to acknowledge that this is really hard, and there are good faith actors and bad faith actors. i think you have to assume that our friends over at cnn are good faith actors who got something, maybe right, in their vie ....
Opposite. well, so what should it be? and for most news organizations, it s going to be because of the nature of what we ve learned about him, and what the traditions of the business are, people want to confront him, but how far are you supposed to go. and nobody thinks ignoring him is the right thing, but in certain case, denying him things, it may be the right thing to do because he tells lies on a greater scale. i think it is a set of tricky things that everyone is trying to figure out. and journalist, they don t have their expeditions broadcast the world over. and i talked to a national security official saying what the world saw is not a healthy democracy. if you live in another country, you turn on the gold standard for american news, cnn, and you watch that, you were aghast. this is the thing. this is what makes donald trump unique. we talk a lot about how different he is. let s spell that out. we ve never before, in american history, had somebody as ....
