Soledad O'Brien Accuses CNN Of Giving 'Racists' Airtime To Score Higher Ratings
Veteran journalist and former CNN anchor Soledad O’Brien tore into the network on Sunday for giving airtime to “racists” and “white supremacists” in what she described as an effort to boost ratings.
The host of Hearst Television’s “Matter Of Fact” didn’t mince words in her response to a Twitter thread created by Shareblue’s Oliver Willis that bashed CNN hosts for calling out “abhorrent behavior” and then inviting commentators on their shows who engage in such behavior.
“They give a platform ― and their credibility ― to racists/white supremacists/ all in the name of ‘hearing them out,’ (which is a ratings ploy btw),” wrote O’Brien, who left CNN in 2013 after 10 years with the network.
O’Brien doubled down on her CNN shade on Monday, tweeting that she had expressed the same criticism in the past.
“It was true then and remains true today,” she wrote.
