I wrote about Anderson Cooper's dishonest, disgraceful, cowardly, and hypocritical attack on critics of CNN's Trump rally.

Cooper falsely claimed critics of the rally want to silo themselves away from anything they disagree with. Incredibly, he did it in a *monologue,* rather than in conversation with a critic who could respond and disagree with him. Talk about a silo!

CNN's response to critics of its Trump rally makes one thing clear: The cable channel hates its viewers

Note that the audience at the CNN/Trump rally was explicitly told they could applaud but not boo. This is not journalism, it is propaganda, and CNN should be called to account for it. https://findinggravity.substack.com/p/anderson-cooper-company-man

@foser Wow. Unfortunately, CNN got a big boost in its ratings so there will be more Trump coverage where he gets to spew lies unchallenged. Huge sigh.

@foser Didn’t take long at all to replace Fox did it?

@foser

A corporation touting their 1st Amendment Rights tells their views that their First Amendment Right don't apply during the "Pathological Liar's" Townhall Event. Yeah, that's the ticket!

@foser I suspect it would have looked even worse if they had booed, since the booing would likely have been against enemies Trump mentioned, including Collins.

@foser Just another fascist apologist.

@foser Agree with you. I am so disappointed in CNN. Will strictly be watching MSNBC from now on.

@foser I have deleted my CNN app and blocked the domain. This step was triggered by the recent defendant Trump rally, but it has been coming for a long time. CNN abdicated it’s journalism ethos in favor of news-entertainment. Normalization of fascists is not tolerable.

@foser

Were they allowed to snicker derisively?

@foser It's bad enough that the audience was preselected to exclude Dems, but even if any Republicans or right-leaning independents who made the cut wanted to express themselves, they couldn't

Nothing but a campaign rally, certainly not a so-called town hall where some people in town won't like you.
