Paging Tater - Taking Brian Stelter's cue Drew Holden notes what CNN is NOT covering on their web page

Uh oh, someone at Reliable Sources is not going to like this!

One of the lamest gambits we frequently see from CNN’s Dyspectic Duo of Brian Stelter, and his Boy Wonder, Oliver Darcy, is to report on what FoxNews is NOT reporting on at a given time. The way it works is one of the Fox-obsessed mooks posts screenshots of what CNN and MSSNBC are reporting on concurrently, and then an image of what else Fox is covering.

This has become a rather popular tactic in the media, so much so that others are stealing Brian’s schtick.

This theft was evidently approved, since Stelter retweeted it.

The intent here is to supposedly show that Fox is an unserious news outlet by not covering only the approved subjects — and not to show just how desperate and impotent the Stelter-Darcy tandem has become. (Look, we admit to being jealous they actually derive a salary from watching TV and conjuring up lame ‘gotcha’ tweets.)

So with this in mind one of our favorites, Drew Holden, decided to play along and pop in to see what CNN was concerning itself on its front page.

CNN's homepage now has a reaction to a recent Tucker Carlson show, an article about Beto O'Rourke maybe perhaps running for elected office, and a big call-out for "QAnon-related graffiti" and…zero mentions of embattled Governor Andrew Cuomo. pic.twitter.com/L28THmbDra

Oh, how frequently this happens — the standards pushed by the galaxy brains at CNN end up creating a backlash on their own network.

I will never not be amused that CNN's primary beat is Fox News.

if you continue down the page you can see a mention of the NY Senate repealing Cuomo's emergency powers (the headline makes no mention of why) sandwiched between "the 17 most outlandish lines from Trump's attack on Karl Rove" and Jeep *potentially* dropping the 'Cherokee' name pic.twitter.com/PA4nuqacln

Well, this is upsetting – according to the Stelter-Darcy method.
