If CNN was around in 1930s Germany, would they have given Adolf Hitler a town hall with an audience of adoring Nazis? Asking for a friend.

@lauren the US news media were quite friendly to the original Nazis & fascists. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/how-journalists-covered-rise-mussolini-hitler-180961407/

@enbuenora Sure, but the fascist endgame wasn't immediately clear at the start.

@lauren Absolutely? Unquestionably? Many US media outlets were pro-Hitler, the NYT not least among them. CNN choosing to feature Trump with a Daily Caller journalist is completely in character. Not only will US media boost Trump during a campaign, they'll stand in support afterwards when the camps open. They don't think it's wrong and don't care that you do.
