As Twitchy readers know, it likely didn’t surprise Mr. Lowe. He has called out the lapdogs over at CNN before. Fellow Twitter users aren’t surprised either.
Typical! RT @RobLowe: Ukrainian president attempts to flee but is detained and #CNN is airing a cooking show.

“@RobLowe: Ukrainian president attempts to flee but is detained and #CNN is airing a cooking show.” CNN isn't a news company anymore.

Snicker.
And this suggested tagline for CNN is the exit win:
If its news, it's news to @CNN “@RobLowe: Ukrainian president attempts to flee but is detained and #CNN is airing a cooking show.”
