Charlamagne criticizes CNN’s coverage of Trump

Things got heated when radio personality Charlamagne Tha God confronted Anderson Cooper about CNN’s coverage of the presidential election.

The Breakfast Club host appeared on CNN on October 24, where he criticized the network and other major news outlets for his or her seemingly casual approach to former President Donald Trump’s controversial rhetoric. Charlamagne argued that CNN didn’t label Trump a “fascist,” as a substitute focusing more on his comments about Harris’ race.

“It’s crazy because there still aren’t news stations having the conversation like when someone asks if Kamala Harris is black or, ‘Is she employed by DEI?’ you will all be discussing this topic at the round table and asking this question,” Charlamagne said within the video common on the Internet.

“Why don’t we have a roundtable discussion asking, ‘Is Donald Trump a fascist?’ In fact, I’m not even asking, he’s stating it,” Charlamagne added. “Why isn’t this a daily topic of discussion on networks like CNN?”

Cooper responded that he talks about it “every night” on his show.

However, Charlamagne continued to verify his thesis.

“I think I’ve heard more on this network about, ‘Is Kamala Harris black?’ than that Donald Trump is a fascist,” he said.

Cooper then responded with an expletive in defense of his election reporting.

“Honestly, it’s bulls—. Sorry. I’m a fan of yours, but I actually have to say that we’re sitting here discussing, “Is Kamala Harris black…”

“I saw it. I’ve seen loads of roundtable discussions. That’s bullshit… Anderson, Charlamagne said.

While commending the “crazies” with “strongly held beliefs” who were invited on CNN panels to “have a reasoned conversation,” Cooper continued to defend the network’s anchors and their reporting on Trump and Harris.

“I don’t think any network is having honest conversations about Donald Trump,” Charlamagne concluded. “No one has had an honest conversation about Donald Trump since 2016.”
