CNN seems confused about what is newsworthy.
They report news about news they think might be news but they’re not sure it’s news just yet but it could be and Trump is literally Hitler … or something like that.
At least they’re not covering whether or not they should be covering Trump in North Korea although based on these stats from Frank Luntz they MIGHT want to think twice about what they’re actually reporting when it comes to the story.
Over half of all Americans (51%) say they approve of how President Trump has handled North Korea.
And this is what you’re focused on?

Sorry, Frank, CNN doesn’t actually care about what Americans think, they only care about what THEY think, and clearly they think Trump did a bad job in North Korea and they want to complain about it.
But wait, there’s more!
There’s a whole world outside of Blue Checkmark Twitter. And most of them (77%) think the media does indeed report fake news: https://t.co/f8UAkcGk91
Try covering stories they care about, not just sounding DEFCON alarms any time Trump jabs your employer.https://t.co/irqaje5IXp

Oooof.
But Trump! Russia! Blue checks! Eleventy!
I’ll give you a free idea, so I’m not just attacking without solutions:
Cancel your show, and replace it with a Heartland news show covering issues affecting people outside of the Beltway and Blue Checkmark Twitter
You can call it “First-Hand Accounts.”https://t.co/yzySC3dWk9

It would certainly help with CNN’s ratings.
Thinking Frank hit a little too close to home.
I think it was worth 4 minutes of air time, yes. NK was a far greater part of the hour. Most Americans don't think Trump is fit for office, and these kinds of tweets are one of the reasons why.

Now now, Brian, no need to get so defensive.
Frank is just trying to help out, man.
Most Americans have figured out the propaganda. That’s why your ratings are in the toilet. Sorry bud but nobody is watching.

Hey "bud," CNN's ratings in the Trump years are stronger than they were during the Obama years. How do you explain that?
— Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) June 13, 2018
Umm, bud, wasn’t CNN missing from the top 25 shows in recent ratings?
Bud.
*dying*
Truth hurts.
