Senior CNN correspondents Donie O'Sullivan and Elle Reeve discussed the challenging issue of platforming individuals who spread misinformation, particularly in relation to Trump supporters. They criticized the left's frustration about humanizing such individuals, asserting that dehumanization is inherently misguided and ineffective in combatting false narratives. Reeve highlighted that ignoring this humanity hasn't resolved the issue, as misinformation continues to thrive. Both correspondents underscored the need to approach misinformation from a perspective of understanding and engagement, rather than outright dismissal.
DONIE O'SULLIVAN: The thing I get a lot of question that always normally comes from the left online is Why are you humanizing this person? Why are you Humanizing this human being?
ELLE REEVE: It's like, it's infuriating. Because one, it is wrong, obviously, top-laying level. We're all human beings. Dehumanization is bad. But two, it doesn't work.
