CNN Won't Cover News Of Its Own Making

Robbie Mook, Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, appeared on CNN's State of the Union this morning.  Mook actually said that the reason why there's been so much discussion of the Clinton Foundation recently is that Hillary Clinton has been too transparent.  That's a pretty funny statement.  The candidate who hasn't held a press conference in more than nine months is too transparent.  The candidate who set up her own illegal private email system to keep anyone from seeing her email is too transparent.  The candidate who never met a lie she didn't like is too transparent.  I think next week Mook is going back on the same program to announce that Bill Clinton has had problems in his life because he's been too faithful to Hillary.

Mook's statement is ridiculous, but he had to say something.  If Trump's campaign manager had said something this idiotic, it would have been all over the media instantaneously.  Mook's statement, however, has gotten next to no coverage.  And here's the really amazing thing:  CNN itself is not covering this story.  I just perused the CNN website to see how they reported Mook's comments.  After all, Mook made the mess on CNN, so they surely would report on it, right?  The answer, however, is that CNN doesn't have an article on its website about Mook's comments this morning.  CNN is blacking out this embarrassment for Clinton and her campaign.

For years in the 1990s, CNN was known as the Clinton News Network.  It seems that some things just haven't changed.
