There really is some sort of hive mind thing going on over at CNN and it’s a bit disturbing to watch. First, Jake Tapper took on Twitchy favorite and Fox News contributor @redsteeze (and lost) after he called out CNN for its flimsy coverage of the protests in Iran.
Then CNN’s Brian Stelter got in on the act, shaming Fox News’ Tucker Carlson for talking to a former Hillary adviser rather than hyperventilating into a paper bag over Trump’s “nuke button” tweet like they were doing over on Anderson Cooper’s show.
How many times is Stelter going to step on this rake this week?

You’d think @CNN might be vaguely interested in what @JudicialWatch uncovered, since they’re the Huma Abedin emails found by the FBI on Anthony Weiner’s laptop — Comey’s 2016 “October Suprise.” It was kiiiiiind of a big story. And the emails were just dumped at the end of 2017.? https://t.co/Xll7uMlLwa

Tom Fitton: "Right now we are fighting the Justice Dept., the State Dept., & the Dir. of Nat'l Intelligence over whether they're even going to do a damage assessment over having classified material, as I say, on the internet equivalent of a public park bench." https://t.co/cie8YVoXxX

Well, we know CNN has lost any interest in Hillary Clinton’s email scandal … so what’s cookin’ over on their channel?
What's the big news? Pot? A book with a shoddy author? You know they reopened the email investigation right? https://t.co/J6JIWNBRpD

Absolutely biggest balls with stupidity behind it, considering CNN viewers watched a white box truck for two days while someone had two scoops of ice cream with a diet coke https://t.co/8n5wgGVdnf

Many are really worried about the deteriorating mental capacity of @brianstelter and question his capacity to carry out the duties of an anchor. In recent days he was heard muttering about @FoxNews: instead of covering a big white panel truck, they did a story about N. Korea. https://t.co/w9nWshjKUo

Brian, CNN under-covered:
– FISC reprimand of NSA
– FBI stonewalling FOIAs / subpoenas
– Unmasking
– Comey’s arbitrary intensity level (Quattrone/Stewart v HRC)You’re in no position to judge the subjective curation decisions of other networks. Just sit this one out!
Carry on. https://t.co/g57wWh43P3
