It’s easy to understand now why CNN decided it could afford to cut severed head aficionado Kathy Griffin loose from its New Year’s Eve extravaganza. There’s a new and way better holiday just around the corner, and a 10-second ball drop just won’t cut it.
Time to break out the infamous CNN countdown clock.
Sen. Rubio quite sarcastic ahead of Comey's testimony before Senate Intel: "There isn’t a countdown clock on cable or anything, right?"

When the Corrupt News Network has a countdown clock to Comey testimony you can be assured there's a Trump bashing session waiting to happen. pic.twitter.com/RoGb6rB22Z

Traced back where CNN started their Comey countdown clock this morning– 47:58:40 seems a little … excessive pic.twitter.com/yA0JQ6RWSw

CNN's Comey Countdown Clock Ticks Down the Seconds to Testimony Time https://t.co/brLFwR6L5v

Possibly excessive: CNN running a countdown clock to Comey's congressional testimony. Only 45 hours to go!
— Chris Knap (@cknap311) June 6, 2017
Yes, that’s 45 hours until Comey’s testimony — still plenty of time to mail viewing party invitations to all the members of the pussy hat sewing circle and order a snack tray.
CNN currently have a countdown clock showing that it's 43 hour and 8 mins until Comey testifies. Overegging it possibly.

@CNN The countdown clock to Comey testifying 42 hours ??? Is that necessary?
— laiju (@lnsjames) June 6, 2017
CNN countdown clock says we're 42 hours away from Comey's testimony. Seriously? They need to take up screen space with that?
— David Lazarus (@Davidlaz) June 6, 2017
Why, for the love of all that is holy, does CNN have a countdown clock to the Comey testimony? Wait. Never mind. Forget I asked that.

They started their fucking countdown clock over 3 days ago!
— Jamie Sherman (@mangopolitics22) June 7, 2017
It's that seconds part of the countdown that gets me. It's kind of game show. I feel like I need to guess the price of something.

oh good Lord, CNN has a #ComeyHearing countdown clock. Too bad they fired @kathygriffin — she could've hosted a ball drop.

CNN's Countdown to Comey clock is a pathetic way to dramatize the news. Take the stupid thing down.

CNN has a countdown clock for the Comey hearing because journalism is fucking dead.

If your news source has a countdown clock, you need a new source for news. Looking at you @CNN
