it's becoming increasingly clear CNN's new leadership both has a right-wing bent and just generally has no idea what it's talking about. i have no idea how anyone can say with a straight face that the media has "ignored" Trump voters when if anything they're disproportionately given relevance.
It is another example of projection. Ignoring and suppressing the voices of their opponents is precisely what the far-right wants to do. To validate doing this, they claim this is happening to them.
CNN knows that many Fox "Entertainment" News viewers have a Tucker Carlson-shaped void they want filled so they are selling out to coax them to their network. CNN uses the "both-sides" argument to excuse them chasing headlines and ad revenue.
Gotta get that sweet, sweet ad revenue.
evidently they got about double their normal ratings in the slot so i'm sure they consider it a success
