CNN has been put through the ringer for giving Trump an hour on their network last night with his town hall. Their viewers are pissed and here’s just one example:

 
So tonight during the open of his show, Anderson Cooper had to deal with the fallout to try and dig out of the hole they dug last night. He began by trying to appease CNN’s critics by empathizing with their anger to keep them from leaving, all the while defending the network hosting Trump’s town hall.

I made it to about 2:26 in the video below and that’s all I’d recommend watching:

Did he say ‘lie’ enough? Good grief. Cooper is really bending over backward to appease these people outraged over giving Trump a platform.

It’s really hilarious when you think about it. CNN has attacked Trump so much over the years now and made their viewers absolutely hate him. Now they want ratings so they give him a platform and their viewers freak out.

This is a mess they made and they deserve everything they are getting.
