Donald Trump departed DC following his meeting with Paul Ryan today, and Wolf Blitzer kept his viewers on top of the latest breaking events:
"There's Donald Trump's plane at Reagan National Airport and we'll continue to monitor the takeoff of that plane." — Wolf Blitzer just now

This. Is CNN.
@jonward11 @JeffreyGoldberg Seriously, has a plane taking off been news since the Wright brothers?…

Serious Q: What is the news value of showing the Trump plane about to take off? What information is imparted?

@jonward11 @AndrewStilesUSA thanks for blowing that "we don't cover the planes that land on time" defense our profession always uses, Wolf

CNN showing Trump's plane taxiing on the runway all morning, reading his tweets as they happen. "CNN: We dont forget the balls".

And who says Trump gets too much media coverage https://t.co/nsUMU1uK91

You'd think that Trump is going to name his plane as his running mate based on CNN's breathless coverage of its status.

@jonward11 he's now literally become the plane.
