Bill Maher vs. CNN: Kaitlan Collins Defends Network’s Reputation

I mean you made press because you were on Stephen coar show and he said something like um you guys at CNN just report the news straight and the crowd burst into laughter look I'm on CNN now I guess we're on it right now I mean they showed this show the next night I don't know how they I don't know how we get away with it with all the but they do uh and all these dirty jokes uh but I'm glad and and I'm a big Rooter for CNN but that tells you a lot doesn't it I mean how how do you guys think you are doing is in Arena of like this is a terribly divided country we're not only politicized a lot of people just hate the other side and CNN in my view should be the place where both sides can watch how do you think you're doing with that how is CNN is the place where both sides can watch and and I think you know my show is evidence of that we have lawmakers on from both parties we'll have Elizabeth Warren on one one night we'll have Ted Cruz on another night I think lawmakers from both parties should take questions and you should push both of them but but on the on CNN being a place of credibility I mean look at what just happened in Chicago we had 300 people from CNN on the ground covering that convention there were several reporters from just our team alone on the floor uh bringing it in real time to people and I think CNN puts resources behind things and just brings a level of news that you don't get anywhere else and and I think CN is I'm talking about the people on CNN and what I I know what the conservative side of America thinks and I don't blame them I watched K bee last night it ended at 8:09 I guess 11:09 in the East it wasn't until 11:23 till the conser the one conservative Guy what's his name Scott Jennings lonely Scott I call him David Urban was there too wait a second wait a second I watched from 8:09 to 8:23 they was just gushing about how great a speech it was and I think she did fine I didn't think it was as good as they were making it out to be but if I'm a conservative in American and I'm watching CNN Just For The Straight middle of the road that's what I hear for 15 minutes is it's great and then L Le Scott it does look I mean and when you see the P it does look like tokenism it's kind of like the same as the view it's like it's almost better to have nobody there like MSNBC then I don't think you I don't think you could say I don't think say it's better to have nobody there then also lament the fact that you don't think the conservative guy Scott Jennings who is great and and we have him on my show all the time spoke up early enough I I think it was a democratic convention they turned to Democrats people like David axen Rod who ran successful presidential Democratic campaigns first for for their analysis of this and I don't think that you can say that that CNN is anything but fair I mean look at that we covered President Biden's exit from the race very closely the pressure on him to get out and I feel like I can speak with authority on this I'm from Alabama I'm from a very red State I have a very conservative family a lot of them who are Trump voters they watch my show every night and and I think they know that they can they can trust me that you know we call on every side not just whatever leaning our our audience may be and and I think that's something that people actually want more of is to hear from that I think Scott's voice is really important but I think other voices are important to hear from and everyone who who was speaking last night it's not like they were all Democrats I mean Dana Bash Jake Tapper Abby Philip all my amazing colleagues AC giving analysis
