MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace torched CNN for its apparent hypocrisy, wondering how the network can justify platforming Donald Trump’s “misogynistic attacks” so soon after firing anchor Don Lemon for his own allegedly sexist behavior.
Wallace began her Thursday afternoon broadcast by contrasting CNN’s town hall—which featured the twice-impeached former president spewing election fraud lies—withwith Dominion Voting Systems over its promotion of 2020 election conspiracies.
Notably, CNN experienced its highest primetime ratings since the 2022 midterm election during the much-maligned town hall, drawing 3.3 million total viewers. The event topped all of cable news for the day, and beat MSNBC and Fox News combined during its time slot. Zaslav, the CEO of CNN’s parent company Warner Bros. Discovery, defended the network’s decision to air the town hall by invoking classic “both sides” logic. “The U.S. has a divided government. We need to hear both voices,”. “Republicans are on the air on CNN, Democrats are on the air. All voices should be heard on CNN.”
