CNN’s chief international anchor Christiane Amanpour has become the first network anchor to call out the channel’s decision to host former US president Donald Trump in a controversial town hall.
The news TV icon also said the media is yet to figure out how to tackle Trump and his disinformation. “Maybe we should revert back to the newspaper editors and TV chiefs of the 1950s, who in the end refused to allow McCarthyism onto their pages…maybe live is not always right.” She also said the audience cheering Trump’s remarks on the sexual abuse charges against him was part of the problem, and that CNN should not have allowed it as it was the network’s venue.
