CNN town halls put network at center of Dem primary

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Four years after blistering criticism of its blanket and passive coverage of then-candidate Donald Trump's campaign rallies, CNN has taken a more active role in the 2020 Democratic primary, hosting town hall meetings that have already changed the course of the race.

The town hall meetings are huge hits with candidates, especially those who begin the contest little-known outside of elite political circles, and even with media critics who blasted all three cable news networks for airing Trump rallies live.

CNN has hosted 10 candidates and potential candidates so far, beginning with an event with then-Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas) in October, about three weeks before he lost his bid against Sen. Ted Cruz (R).

On Wednesday, former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper (D) got his star turn; Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) is up next, scheduled to appear on Wednesday in Orangeburg, S.C.

Other events are certain, though the network has not announced future plans.

1. CNN is trying to mirror

MSNBC. All about ratings and Ad Sells in the coming months.

The So called Networks found out the Democratic Party is not fouling around anymore and if you treat us wrong,you are the financial loser.

The new method of Political Ads is Social Media. Competition in real time.
