Karoline Leavitt, the White House Press Secretary, criticized CNN for its interview with a masked Sinaloa Cartel member, deeming it a"softball interview" that provided a platform to a terrorist organization. She expressed her astonishment at the nature of the questions posed by CNN's Isobel Yeung. The interview prompted backlash from conservatives, especially concerning the cartel's violent history and its implications for American citizens. Leavitt emphasized that such media representations contribute to declining trust in legacy media among the public.
Well, it was fascinating to me, Sean. I was actually scrolling on Instagram when I came across this interview and it stopped me in my tracks, not just because they sat down with a member of a Mexican cartel that is now designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the United States government, but because of the nature of the questions of this notorious foreign terrorist.
I thought it was quite despicable. But, again, this is just another reason why the trust in the legacy media is at an all-time low amongst the American public.
