Susan Estrich in dailyherald: The media's conundrum in covering Donald Trump
It was an ugly Wednesday night Town Hall on CNN. Donald Trump in prime time, before an audience of true believers. To call it cringeworthy is an understatement. Fodder for another lawsuit is more like it. Trump at his most Trump-like. What he didn't tell the jury, he told the town hall. Here is what he said:
Sorry, Mr. Trump. That is the wrong question. E. Jean Carroll wasn't on trial in New York. Donald Trump was. What kind of man meets somebody and brings them up and within minutes sexually assaults them in a dressing room? To watch Donald Trump in action, it seemed that he had already won the Republican nomination and was running in the general election again against Joe Biden. And that raises what is the fundamental question with Trump.
CNN attempted to do the balancing act, clearly rehearsed for days, and satisfied no one, earning loud criticism for giving him a forum to continue to belittle Carroll and peddle his lies about the last election."The election was not rigged, Mr. President," the moderator told him at one point."You cannot keep saying that all night long.
