CNN facing 'fury' from staffers over Trump town hall: ‘It felt like 2016 all over again’

CNN is facing a "a fury of criticism" from its own employees for airing a town hall with former President Trump on Wednesday, according to the network’s own media reporter. 

"It's hard to see how America was served by the spectacle of lies that aired on CNN," Oliver Darcy wrote in CNN’s "Reliable Sources" newsletter. 

Trump, the frontrunner in the 2024 Republican primary, sparred with CNN's Kaitlan Collins over his ongoing claim that the 2020 presidential election was "rigged," the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, and the recent verdict that found him liable for defamation and battery against his accuser E. Jean Carroll, whom he continued railing against to the amusement of some supporters in the audience.
