How Many Democratic Scandals Does It Take For The Media To Give Them Proper Coverage?

This week, CNN launched a new ad campaign called “Facts Firsts.” In its ad, it featured an apple and a narrator explained how some may try calling it a banana, but it’s still an apple. There was both praise and mockery of the new campaign. Nonetheless, CNN clearly sees itself as the one outlet in all of news media where facts come first.
So how much time did CNN spend on a subject like the Uranium One deal that’s now being scrutinized? Within seven days since the story broke, it dedicated less than four minutes (according to conservative media watchdog MRC.) That amount of coverage was clearly dwarfed by the coverage they gave to President Trump‘s feud with Rep. Frederica Wilson and Gold Star widow Myeshia Johnson or his spat with outgoing senators Bob Corker and Jeff Flake.
