Dude give it a rest.
You're obviously anti CNN so shouldn't you want them to shoot themselves in the foot like this?

It's really the most pathetic thing I've ever seen. A major news story that is on going and CNN is completely ignoring it.
Never seen anything like this in my life.
If this was CNN-extra or some bullshite spinoff tv channel you could argue it's not their flagship news Network so they are covering a different story.
THIS IS CNN

It's too hard to spin a race angle out of the hurricane apparently.

Bet they would cover it if this was Atlanta not Houston.

I'm at the Frankfurt airport in Germany, and there's one TV in the entire international terminal and it's on CNN.
It's essentially a fight between a conservative and a liberal with no mention of one of the worst natural disasters occurring in the history of our country.
A couple of days ago I could understand, but it's 8:45am and they're showing live interviews while millions of people are on lockdown.

I dont buy any of this crap.
I hate cnn, but 12 million (ok 30 million) are in flood danger. Thats still 10 percent of the country.
90 percent still want to see other news, and really, besides those directly affected, how much wind and rain will you watch on tv?

2 solid days of nothing but bitching about Trump pardoning someone is your idea of what 90% of people want to see?

Well i dont watch cnn. But two days of rain coverage is a bit much for outside the weather channel as well.
I watch twc more in the past several days than normal, but life still goes on. Just like katrina, there is other news.
(I lived through katrina and am in the path of this rain as well)

It's pathetic

My argument is there are dozens of places to get hurricane news, cnn is choosing not as much coverage.

A few things:
1) As soon as we can make a race issue out of this storm, the entire MSM will be there breathlessly telling the stories. I expect every part of Houston is flooding, so they will get their wish and can focus on the economically depressed areas.
2) Houston is in a red state. Red state citizens are the enemy of those at CNN.
3) TX recovery efforts, from what we can see, have all gone off without a hitch. Full cooperation from Feds AND Local govt. No incompetence from the local govt like KBB and Nagin in LA that would allow the MSM to blame it on an R POTUS.
4) Last year when LA was going underwater, Obama never came nor really gave it much attention while he was on vacay, whereas Trump is doing the opposite. Don't want to shine a light there either.

You are exactly right.
CNN does not care. They are all about Trump bashing 24 hours 7 days a week.

I 100% agree with you on all points.
This is the ot, i am simply wondering why the op is even watching cnn if it pisses him off so bad. I dont watch it because cnn if way out there in relation to my political beliefs.
My other point is if cnn wants to show a replay of lsu alabama from 2011 nc game, who gives a crap?
Dont watch it. Everyone knows what is going on. It isnt like the poor arse ........ are going to help the victims anyway,

I hate it, too. But let's be honest.
FoxNews just finished an 8 year run of bashing Obama at all opportunities.
