Lowe’s absolutely right. Egypt is in the throes of a military coup and CNN decides the Zimmerman Trial is the news we can use? This is CNN?
So history is in the making but Jeff Zucker's @CNN are still covering Zimmerman.

CNN televising statement from the Egyptian military. Graphic reads, "Back to Zimmerman trial in a moment." Trial's still on HLN.

Egypt: Constitution suspended, Morsi thrown out. Huge upheaval. But if you're watching CNN they'll be back with Zimmerman trial in a moment.

"Back to Zimmerman Trial in a Moment" CNN assures viewers. Just as soon as this bloke in a uniform shuts up.

Hey @CNN @cnnbrk Drop the trial and cover Egypt

@CNN so Egypt is having its second uprising in recent memory but all I hear on your channel is hooded sweatshirts give us news not court tv
