CNN gave editorial control to Trump during its recent townhall.
Today, strong journalism requires never doing that with anyone on any program format.
Rather, journalists must seek only the truth and report it even if it requires courage to do so.
Seek only facts and then focus on reporting all of them.
Journalists and anchors… must give up becoming stars themselves.
Today’s serious journalists must always take the time to report the context of important stories.
If they promote anything… they should promote easy voting, democracy, and truth.

Could not agree more. The pseudo town hall was dismal from a journalistic point of view.
Yes, yes, and yes!
Hooray for Larry!
