TL;DR Summary

CNN CEO Chris Licht stands by the decision to hold a town hall with Donald Trump, but acknowledges there were production weaknesses. Licht wished he had introduced the in-person audience to TV watchers and focused the camera only on host Kaitlan Collins when she challenged Trump's lies about election fraud. He also wished the network anchors had focused on the news made by Trump after the event. Several high-profile CNN employees were embarrassed with the Trump town hall, with one person saying it was the network's lowest point since a 2012 incident when the network initially misreported the Supreme Court had struck down the Affordable Care Act.
