I think if they knew what happened at Walter Reed they'd report it. NCLefty Nov 2019 #8

The MSM might have a stellar moment here and there... but they’re mostly worthless. Except Rachel. They don’t seem to get that if the MF wins another 4 years, the landscape of what’s left of the free press is profoundly threatened.

3. Why blame CNN?

We probably haven't heard anything from CNN about it because no one has told them anything.

I don't blame CNN. I blame the Trump admin. CNN can't report what they (presumably) don't have.

That being said, here's a CNN story on the Walter Reed visit from earlier today:

For Ginsburg, everything has been public knowledge, so there's actually something to report.

6. MSM Protects Their Advertising Dollars

And nobody spends more on advertising than Donald Trump. That and the billionaire MSM owners love their tax breaks. Zero income taxes will do that to you.

CNN has had several articles and interviews about Trump's odd trump to Walter Reed. They pointed out how unusual the trip was, how the story out of the White House has changed several time, interviewed multiple doctors about how unusual the whole thing is/was. They did a very good job pointing out why the official story did not make sense. They even pointed out the fact that Trump is not nearly as fit as he claims to be.

Overall CNN did a better job covering this issue than other mainstream media outlets did.
