CNN's Emotional Coverage of Trump Town Hall Draws Criticism and Controversy.
CNN CEO Chris Licht scolded reporter Oliver Darcy for his "emotional" coverage of the network's town hall with former President Donald Trump. Darcy had criticized CNN and Licht for the event, which received backlash for allowing Trump to repeat unfounded claims about the 2020 election and mock a writer who accused him of sexual abuse. Licht defended the town hall and praised moderator Kaitlan Collins, who is expected to be promoted to a primetime slot. Darcy reportedly stood by his work but was visibly shaken after the meeting.
