Anderson Cooper was taken to task by liberals after offering a widely criticized “straw-man argument' about CNN's decision to air a town hall with former President Trump.
Former President Trump lashed out at CNNs Kaitlan Collins, calling her a"nasty person" during a heated exchange about his handling of classified documents.
Cooper insisted that despite Collins' attempts as moderator, trying to fact-check Trump is"impossible" since"he lies so shamelessly." Cooper suggested CNN viewers"have every right to be outraged and angry and never watch this network again," but asked, do you think staying in your silo and only listening to people you agree with is going to make that person go away?"
Backlash from the left was swift and harsh, mirroring the feedback CNN has received since the Trump town hall aired on Wednesday. It was Trump's first appearance on CNN since 2016, and his performance was enough to send liberal CNN staffers into a tizzy and resulted in a prominent women's group calling for CNN CEO Chris Licht's job.
"Two problems with this spin: 1) We have had 8 solid years of watching Trump amid his followers, including, extensively, on CNN. 2) Having an audience of supporters was clearly a precondition that was demanded of CNN. Any discussion has to start with being forthright about that," Harris wrote.
