“Note: The CNN Town Hall was a 90 minute broadcast, though the network expected the actual event to go as long as 75 minutes,” wrote another Twitter user in a post that’s been liked or shared more than 4,000 times. “Biggest ratings they’ve had in years and they tapped out.” “Lol, CNN ended the town hall with Trump early,” one user on Twitter wrote in a post that’s been liked or shared more than 21,000 times as of Thursday. Immediately following the broadcast, however, social media users began claiming that the network had deliberately truncated the event.
EST - 69 minutes after it began at its scheduled time of 8 p.m. THE FACTS: CNN’s Wednesday night town hall with the former president wrapped up at 9:09 p.m. The New Hampshire college that hosted the event also confirmed the expected runtime for the event was an hour, not the nearly two hours that some claimed online. The cable news network says it had allotted one hour for the forum but it ended up running about 10 minutes longer. CLAIM: CNN cut short its primetime town hall with former President Donald Trump on Wednesday.ĪP’S ASSESSMENT: False.
