CNN anchor Kasie Hunt faced criticism after abruptly ending a live interview with Karoline Leavitt, the Trump campaign's national press secretary. The incident occurred three days before CNN is set to host the 2024 presidential debate. Leavitt accused the network of displaying an anti-Trump bias, which she claims is ingrained in CNN's core. She specifically pointed to CNN's Jake Tapper and Dana Bash as having a long history of anti-Trump statements. The decision to cut off the interview sparked a backlash on social media, with many accusing CNN of censorship. Hunt defended her actions, stating that the interview was cut short due to Leavitt's comments about the network's bias. This event has intensified discussions about media impartiality and freedom of speech ahead of the upcoming debate.

CNN doing their “CUTTING OFF THE MIC CHECK!” If I worked at CNN I would be really mad at @kasie for showcasing the network’s bias so dramatically right before the debate. Why didn’t she just push back? Like a real journalist? Great work @kleavittnh!…
