Former CNN host Soledad O'Brien slammed the cable news outlet on Sunday for vitalizing white supremacy with its shoddy coverage of presidential candidate Donald Trump.

“I’ve seen on-air, white supremacists being interviewed because they are Trump delegates,” she said. “And they do a five-minute segment, the first minute or so talking about what they believe as white supremacists. So you have normalized that.”

O’Brien also said that mainstream media outlets have gone through “contortions to make things seem equal all the time” when reporting on Trump and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

“And then Donald Trump will say, ‘Hillary Clinton, she’s a bigot.’ And it’s covered, the journalist part comes in, ‘They trade barbs. He said she’s a bigot and she points out that he might be appealing to racists.’ It only becomes ‘he said, she said.’ When in actuality, the fact that Donald Trump said she’s a bigot without the long laundry list of evidence, which if you looked at Hillary Clinton’s speech, she actually did have a lot of really good factual evidence that we would all agree that are things that have happened and do exist. They are treated as if they are equal,” the part-cubana said.

She continued: “That’s where journalists are failing: the contortions to try to make it seem fair.”

O’Brien recognized that such careless “he said, she said” coverage is bringing in the numbers, that media are being rewarded for inadequate news-telling, but asked what are the ramifications of this after the election.

“So hateful speech brings a really interested, angry audience,” she said. “This is genius! We should do this more often. What shall we do when this election is over? We’re going to have to think about ways to really rile people up, make them angry and divide them.”

The over-saturation of the “he said, she said” is “frustrating” to O’Brien.

“We have lost context. We actually don’t even cover the details of something. We just cover the back and forth of it,” she said. “It’s funny to watch if it weren’t our own country and our own government actually operating.”
