CNN Editor Chris Cillizza Holds Reddit AMA, Gets Heavily Criticized

On the popular news aggregator and forum reddit, there’s a section called “Ask Me Anything” where public figures hold open interviews with reddit’s user base. Countless notable figures have done so – including Barack Obama when he was president.

Yesterday, CNN’s editor-at-large Chris Cillizza decided to host an AMA on the site – and things quickly tanked faster than CNN’s ratings. Throughout the course of an hour, Cillizza ended up answering only 17 questions, 3 of which were from fellow journalists. Below are some of the top comments – which didn’t receive a response.

One of the critical comments did manage to get a response.

And lastly…

Just to jog your memory, Cillizza left The Washington Post to go to CNN. Clearly, there may be some bad blood between the two still.

So, that didn’t go well. And it’s worse when you consider that reddit’s userbase has a left-of-center bent. Most of the questions were critical of Cillizza’s “negative” coverage of Hillary that cost her the election.

Yes, because a liberal journalist like Cillizza totally wasn’t rooting against Donald Trump the whole time, as evidenced by his constant defenses of Clinton.

Liberals are crazy everywhere, even online. But it was still great watching a hack like Cillizza get a full dosage of humiliation!

Share this if you love watching “fake news” journalists like Cillizza get roasted by the public!
