CNN Tries Blaming Trump Administration For Dating App Fatigue

Newsbusters, in a target-rich environment.
Just when you thought CNN had run out of things to blame on President Trump, CNN This Morning host sat down with The Atlantic staff writer Faith Hill on her The Assignment podcast to blame the Trump Administration for dating app fatigue.
As a general rule, both liberals and conservatives want their partner to share their values, but right away, Cornish only wanted to focus on one side of the political spectrum’s supposed toxicity. In the podcast clip, she asked Hill, “In what ways have political trends poisoned the dating well?”
Like Cornish, Hill only focused on one side of the relationship, “So, I think that we are in a very tricky political and cultural moment for dating. Just because, you know, men and women are kind of growing further apart in a lot of ways and especially among young people. And you see that young men are moving further to the right. Young women growing more progressive, and I think for a lot of women in particular, it can just sort of feel like, ‘This is not a time where I trust men. I feel respected by men. I don’t necessarily want to go out and meet strangers who are men.’”
Whenever two women talk, it’s All About Them. “No MAGA” is becoming common in “dating profiles” on such apps.
