Real News, Mr. President: CNN's coverage of Donald Trump jumps yet another shark with this chyron [screenshot]

CNN is Real News, Mr. President. Keep that in mind when you look at this:

There’s a chyron for you. I didn’t know anyone was keeping count. pic.twitter.com/gBTqAE5F0v

Covering the stories that really matter.

I don't know why anyone would be surprised. And it doesn't strike me as odd that journalists would keep track of what are official pronouncements from the President of the United States.

It strikes me as odd that in the midst of impeachment, this qualifies as news.

Given how the president historically responds to criticism, Twitter output as a measure of his impeachment reaction is perfectly newsworthy.

I disagree. The content of what he says is more important than counting him RT'ing the official GOP account or Jim Jordan.

Exactly. Does CNN literally have nothing better to do than keep a running count on Donald Trump’s tweets? Wait, don’t answer that. We know the answer: CNN literally has nothing better to do.

Listen, CNN needs something to be breaking at every moment.

That’s a person’s sole job at CNN. Just like Darcy’s job is to sit and watch Fox all day.

It’s really just sad at this point. But if CNN can’t find actual news to report, guess they’re stuck making it up.

Take that, George Washington! https://t.co/15P61aBo6L
