At Courier Newsroom, our mission is to combat this kind of bad information — not give it more oxygen just to drive ratings and profits.
John, as the Republican presidential primary heats up, so has the mainstream media’s coverage of the candidates — especially Donald Trump.
Trump hasn’t changed at all since his last campaign. At his recent CNN town hall, he was a firehose of disinformation, spreading lies about voter fraud, the January 6th insurrection, the 2020 election results, and more.
CNN has faced serious backlash for airing the event. Many are angry with the network’s decision to give Trump a primetime slot to push his lies and divisive agenda. Some even fear a repeat of 2016 where networks like CNN prominently featured Trump and let him lie because he delivered big ratings.
So what do you think? Should CNN continue to host events with Donald Trump or should they hold him accountable for spreading dangerous lies and disinformation on their airwaves? Take our quick, 1-click poll:

In 2016, it was mainstream media networks like CNN that helped legitimize Trump and his candidacy by giving him sensational, wall-to-wall coverage to drive ratings and profits — all while Trump berated them as ‘fake news.’
Right now, we’re concerned they’re falling into the same trap but we want to get a sense of what our supporters think and — depending on the responses we get — what you think our next steps should be.
