CNN Reporter Blasts Network Over Donald Trump Town Hall—'Spectacle of Lies'

A CNN journalist has slammed his own network after it aired the controversial town hall event with Donald Trump, branding the primetime event a "spectacle of lies."

Oliver Darcy, CNN's senior media reporter, wrote in his CNN newsletter overnight after the show: "It's hard to see how America was served by the spectacle of lies that aired on CNN Wednesday evening."

"A professional lie machine, Trump fired off falsehoods at a rapid clip while using his bluster to overwhelm Collins, stealing command of the stage at some points of the town hall."
