CNN CEO Chris Licht internally acknowledged some weaknesses with how the network showcased Donald Trump's town hall.
After re-watching Donald Trump's town hall from last week, CNN CEO Chris Licht would have liked to do certain things differently from a production standpoint.Licht's primary issue with the CNN telecast was it focused too much on the spectacle of Trump while not homing in on the substance of what he said.Chris Licht, Chairman and CEO, CNN Worldwide speaks onstage during the Warner Bros. Discovery Upfront 2022 show at The Theater at Madison Square Garden on May 18, 2022 in New York City.
But there are several production elements that he would have liked done in a different way, according to people familiar with his thinking. The crowd was a main character in the event as many Trump supporters cheered his responses and jeered CNN host Kaitlan Collins when she challenged him. Licht would have liked to openly question the crowd before the town hall began so the TV audience could better understand who they were and why they were supporting Trump, said the people.
