"Media's Dilemma: Covering Trump in the 2024 Elections"
TL;DR Summary
CNN's live town hall with former US President Donald Trump has been criticized as a marriage of convenience between an ailing network looking to boost ratings and a disgraced candidate seeking rehabilitation. As America braces for a 2024 election that Trump has branded "the final battle," the media faces its ultimate test on how to cover a man who made more than 30,000 false or misleading claims during his four years in the White House. The event will be televised at 9 pm on Wednesday and moderated by morning show anchor Kaitlan Collins. Trump will take questions from Republicans and undeclared voters who are planning to vote in the 2024 primary.
