Stephen Miller, Twitter’s @redsteeze, chronicled CNN’s extremely slow update of its coverage of the fifth Kavanaugh accuser from Rhode Island who recanted his bogus story last night.
At 9:00 PM here’s the coverage while the recantation came at 7:50 PM:CNN BUSTED for delayed update on 5th Kavanaugh accuser story who recanted

Still “5 accusations” on the Chris Cuomo chyron:
CNN is also saying 5 allegations with their chyron. No clever parenthesis again, that the RI boat accuser has fully recanted. pic.twitter.com/15znwXsvLJ

And at 10:05 PM, a tweet from Erin Burnett’s show:
10:05 pm tweeted out from @ErinBurnett show account. Again no mention the RI boat accuser recanted the entire claim at 7:50 pm pic.twitter.com/iGDR4wTHlf

They did finally update things at 11:48 PM:
At 11:48 pm CNN finally updated story. Again, they published a full hour after the accuser from RI recanted. There should have never been a need for an update if they included in original story pic.twitter.com/q5xGQtcFS5

How nice of them, but the on-air hosts need to do better:
None of their prime time hosts featured the recanted accusation @ErinBurnett, @andersoncooper , @ChrisCuomo or @donlemon https://t.co/2eKvgehLyV

Take a bow, media, as THIS IS ON YOU:
5 accusers.
1 crazy person recanted.
1 is an anonymous letter, maybe the Russians?
1 wasn't sure if it was Kavanaugh as of last week.
1 is alleging a crazy gang rape ring w/o any evidence or details.
Last 1 is Ford, who has 0 corroboration.Hell of a job, media. https://t.co/1lJaESExLv
