Soledad O'Brien

Now, at CNN, we have been through 50 million bosses.

I think I had five leadership changes in my tenure, right?

So, you know, it was always a little chaotic.

But I think this is chaotic in a bit of a different way, considering the degree to which the president has been very clear about what he dislikes deeply about CNN and specific CNN anchors.

If you believe that journalism and good journalism is the cornerstone of any democracy, all of that sounds very uncomfortable.

And I will say, I mean, one of the things that I think is always wise is to see how things play out, because sort of panicking in advance, I think, is not super helpful.

And again, I think there are some hurdles to still be overcome.

But it is really concerning.

And it's also just concerning when you have consolidation, right, even outside of the politics, which are, you know, very strange and I think bad at this moment.

I think you just have fewer options.

It's not good for journalism.

It's not good for democracy.

It's just overall not good.

Yeah, he's been interesting because I think because we sort of take the point of view of the woman who's a security guard, deeply religious woman who's a security guard at the clinic.

A lot of people have said, regardless of where they stand on the issue of their pro-choice, their pro-life or whatever you want to call it.

People have really liked the fact that it is a true story of what happens a day in the life of this clinic post Roe v. Wade.

And I think in a way, because reporters' credibility and trust is at an all-time low, we've all seen those numbers.

I think it's below 30% now.

It's been kind of nice as a reporter to stay out of it.

and actually just let this woman speak to what she goes through and to see what happens in the clinic.
