In an attempt to demonstrate “serious” cable news vs. “unserious” cable news, CNN’s Brian Stelter shared a tale of two screenshots:
There's a host in Puerto Rico on one cable news channel, there's a host reading "Cat in the Hat" on another channel pic.twitter.com/vw93tpElEe

Does he really want to go there?
Hard to play this card after you guys spent a week babbling about NFL players kneeling https://t.co/qgfSJHoiok

Yep, somebody from CNN should definitely sit this one out:
One of these people appeared with someone who staged an ISIS beheading video on a network where another host offerred to poison Trump. https://t.co/JpgE8SNEDT

OOF.
On Friday CNN ran with a special on Twitter and Trump instead of covering PR. https://t.co/DrguPvRtAZ https://t.co/oVTIc9iuTb

CNN, MSNBC and Fox ignored Maria for days, now CNN patting themselves on the back? Just yesterday on AC360 PR wasn't the top story https://t.co/oVTIc9iuTb

That host was hosting a special on NFL protests Wednesday. Apparently that was a higher priority. https://t.co/QCqSphtN5N

Besides, the kind of thing Stelter did is incredibly subjective:

…and your point is what? I didn't claim fox had no reporters there. I know fox does.

Now, if what Stelter shared was happening 100 percent of the time, CNN really has a problem:
cnn is losing to the cat in the hat :-/
