BATTLE FOR WORLD / HOLLYWOOD REPORTER | July 30, 2019: The article highlights the CNN network cutting away from Donald Trump's 2020 kickoff rally held on June 18 after Trump supporters chanting "CNN sucks!" broke out across the crowded arena in Orlando.

The cutaway according to some revealed that whenever Trump attacks the media the feed is cut and directed into some other event. A change in CNN programming plans with the focus now on live candidate events (25 town halls) and experimenting with a live debate lottery ahead of the Detroit Democratic showdown.

"They're blindly repeating the mistakes of 2016," said a former CNN employee to The Hollywood Reporter. "Using a game show to pick the names of the candidates tells you everything you need to know about their approach to politics." While CNN's president Jeff Zucker said that "none of the campaigns had an issue" with The Draw, but Faiz Shakir, who runs Sen. Bernie Sanders' operation, wasn't a fan.

"When Jeff came in, he was trying to change the network to where Republicans wouldn't immediately turn the channel," one prominent GOPer said. "I think he accomplished that, and now he's alienated them all again. "I'm not coming on CNN. There's no upside", said several people to the GOPer.
