In what could be the dumbest thing we’ve seen from cable news all year, CNN sent a courtroom sketch artist to cover today’s off-camera press briefing at the White House:
The White House has been prohibiting cameras at some press briefings, so we sent a sketch artist https://t.co/FuKv8RjYD2 pic.twitter.com/pCPzMZas5G

No wonder people hate the media.
And we have a few questions on how CNN came up with idea in the first place. Did former Hillary Clinton staffer Adam Parkhomenko have anything to do with it? He tweeted yesterday:
Whichever outlet sends a sketch artist is my new favorite outlet https://t.co/K9g1Kr1ZuE

And tagged CNN’s Jim Acosta in a follow-up tweet:
Cc @Acosta – make it happen.

Over to you, CNN: Are you taking marching orders from the Clintons?
