• Stelter Asks Netflix CEO ZERO Questions about ‘Cuties’ as CNN Gives Pass on Film, Accused of Showing ‘Child Porn,’ for 2nd Time
  by https://www.rt.com/
  CNN let Netflix CEO Reed Hastings off the hook for the second time in four days, neglecting to ask him even once about ‘Cuties,’ the film that ignited a campaign to cancel the streaming service for showing alleged “child porn.”
  –
  The latest Netflix-friendly interview aired Sunday on CNN’s “Reliable Sources” program, where host Brian Stelter kept the discussion focused primarily on promoting Hastings’ new book. CNN host Poppy Harlow took a similar approach on Thursday, steering clear of hard-hitting questions and talking mostly about the book in the 10 minutes she had with Hastings.
  –
  Harlow interviewed the CEO the day after Netflix streamed ‘Cuties’ for the first time, and just as then, Stelter’s avoidance of the topic left viewers wondering how CNN could ignore the burning issue. Critics such as podcast host Steven Crowder and journalists Julio Rosas and Carly Ortiz called out Stelter on Twitter for letting Hastings get away without addressing the controversy.
  –
  Stelter replied that the interview was taped “days ago,” without specifying. However, the controversy over ‘Cuties’ began long before this past week, with Netflix issuing an apology on August 20 after publishing a poster for the movie that caused an uproar and accusations of “sexualizing” 11-year-old girls.
