One of the unfortunate aspects of the Susan Rice–unmasking story — at least as far as it relates to the MSM — is that alt-right personality Mike Cernovich was the first journalist to break the story, which Donald Trump Jr. so aptly pointed out this morning:
Congrats to @Cernovich for breaking the #SusanRice story. In a long gone time of unbiased journalism he'd win the Pulitzer, but not today!
— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) April 4, 2017
Cernovich posted the scoop on Sunday, while it was Bloomberg’s Eli Lake who was the first MSM reporter to write about it on Monday:

So @EliLake gets the scoop: Susan Rice at center of unmasking: https://t.co/NIKDlBXKCT

Axios’ Jonathan Swan writes that Cernovich’s scoop changes the “news flow” and that it’s a “massive deal” for journalism:

Praise for Cernovich from the president’s eldest son followed this from Kellyanne Conway:

Maybe this won’t be so weird going forward?
Weird to see a top WH staffer praising a major figure on the alt right https://t.co/2rp32M97hy

Although based on Cernovich’s past, this might not have been the best tweet:

Good lord. How long before you seriously regret tweeting this? https://t.co/WTLY0KthLf

Trump's oldest son is the most important voice for the so-called "alt-right" in the president's inner circle. https://t.co/vckG2hptCf
