[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 77220737, member: 123415"] I think Democrats (like AOC) are missing the mark by suggesting that "it's bad that CNN platformed Trump". There were some better takes on the matter (by members of non-mainstream media) from both sides of the political spectrum Cenk from The Young Turks (left-leaning) said (paraphrasing): "[I]AOC was off base with this approach, do you really think you're going to stop the other side's front-runner and a former president from finding a platform? Claiming that the goal should be to stop people from hearing from Trump projects weakness and implies that 'our side is weak and our ideas can't stand on their own so we need to find a way to silence the other side' we should be combatting bad speech with good speech[/I]" Specific quote from him: "you do a Republican town hall with a Republican crowd. Yes, that makes it feel like home turf for Trump - but that's because it is! If it makes you uncomfortable they love Trump, ok, but it doesn't make that fact any less true. Ignoring things doesn't make them go away." Ben Shapiro from The DailyWire (right-leaning) said (paraphrasing): "[I]If the goal of CNN was to try to undermine Trump, their strategy was terrible, getting a clearly left-bias interviewer to ask him questions about the things democrats care about, in a room full of conservatives and independents who aren't as fixated on those things, is creating the kind of environment he thrives in where he gets to bulldoze a democrat in a room full of non-democrats. A better approach (if the goal was to make him look bad) would've been to ask him specifically about policies that conservatives and independents care about like, say, Fauci and covid; criminal justice reform and Alice Johnson and crime; or things he didn't deliver on like the border wall and illegal immigration policy, and why he supports red flag laws, Etc,[/I]” Specific quote from him: “Ridiculous failure by CNN on all fronts — unless, of course, their goal is to renominate Trump for the ratings and because they think he’s most beatable (NOTE: this, by the way, is precisely their goal),” [/QUOTE]
