Questions have been raised as to why CNN appeared to cut a town hall broadcast with Donald Trump on Wednesday evening short by as much as 20 minutes.
…
Dylan Byers, a senior correspondent at Puck News, tweeted on Wednesday night that the town hall was scheduled as a 90-minute broadcast, “though the network expected the actual event to go as long as 75 minutes.”
He went on to say that it ended less than 70 minutes in. “In other words, they could have gone longer if they wanted—which is usually what executives do with big ratings draws,” Byers added.
Archived listings show that the town hall was scheduled to last 75 minutes, followed by two back-to-back episodes of Anderson Cooper 360. Another Twitter user said the program lasted “exactly 69 minutes,” posting images of the event on TV at 6:09 p.m. PT.
Was it because Trump was winning?

CNN’s New Hampshire town hall with DONALD TRUMP last night may have done more to boost his chances of winning the GOP presidential nomination than anything that’s happened since the 2020 election.
Big night for Donald Trump!
