Anderson Cooper ROASTED For Defending CNN’s Trump Town Hall

CNN's decision to host a town hall with former President Donald Trump keeps drawing major criticism from viewers, journalists, and media critics.

CNN gave Trump a platform to spread his lies and misinformation, and the cable network is once again legitimizing his dangerous rhetoric.

Anderson Cooper addressed the controversy on his CNN show, saying that he understands why people are angry and outraged. However, he also claimed that it is important to hear from Trump and to hold him accountable for his actions.

"You have every right to be outraged today and angry and never watch this network again," Cooper said. "But do you think staying in your silo and only listening to people you agree with is going to make that person go away?"

It is clear that CNN’s decision has turned off the network’s audience and reignited the debate about the media’s role in a democracy.
