Here’s how serious the news media is. This afternoon, Jake Tapper had two very important blockbuster interviews. One was with the former porn actress that appeared in a Ted Cruz campaign ad that has since been taken down. The latter was with a former Obama intel official who explained why Hillary is lying about her emails, and reiterated his demand that she STEP DOWN from her campaign while the FBI investigates.
Guess who got all the coverage on CNN’s twitter?

I… what?!?!
Not one there either.
Not one on the @CNN account. Nothing. They didn’t even tweet out a link to the story.
Even the Twitter account of the show tweeted this:

Holy crap. It’s a miracle!!
And to be fair, the interview with Mike Flynn by Tapper was really good. You can see that here.
But I think it’s pretty clear that CNN is more interested in damaging Ted Cruz than they are in a pretty important story about an Obama official demanding Hillary step down from the campaign.
