Actually, on your network, news judgment is dictated on ratings—that’s why @cnn covers Trump/Russia/porn stars 24/7 and ignores Puerto Rico, Flint, progressive candidates and many more critical stories.https://twitter.com/brianstelter/status/1003596492018462721?s=21 …

Bravo Brian-you did one segment on Puerto Rico, which has been shown to have thousands of more deaths than reported, contaminated water, and privatization schemes seizing the island (deja vu to Katrina). Meanwhile, your network covered Roseanne for 3 days and essentially covers

The same exact 1-2 Trump stories on a loop all day. Not to mention the fact that in just a week on the ground in Flint, I found stunning information about the water testing that was done there (that puts serious doubt into the declaration of safe water). But CNN, with...

Enormous resources sends no one to Flint to follow up. I don’t fault you for your network’s coverage. You’re not news director. But to pretend
@cnn is covering things based on relevance is preposterous. People are getting sick and dying and CNN is ignoring it - 2 more replies

I think the issue many of us have is that it's never a lead nor is it paramount. I watched this morning for over and hour and saw no coverage. While I do think the breast cancer study is interesting, I don't think it's as vital as the harvard study on Puerto Rico.
-
Ok. Well the study came out almost a week ago. At times, it was the lead. I wish it had been the lead for more time & in more places. I'm all in favor of more followups and more reporting. And people are doing lots of that! But newsrooms have to juggle a lot of news.

Like conspiracy theories on black holes and
@FLOTUS abduction -
That’s
@FoxNews that deals in conspiracy theories. -
I know Fox news does that. So does CNN but I'm honest and you clearly aren't

One example of a conspiracy theory on CNN?

Stelter also tweeted that
@FLOTUS "missing" yesterday even though multiple reporters said they saw her 3 days earlier -
Seriously? She went in for a surgery that is basically a max of two days. Stayed 5 days and then hasn't been seen nor made any appearances and has cancelled her attendance at the G7. That's not odd to you? Not a conspiracy, but speculation as the situation calls for

I'm not knee-jerk hater of CNN, but being able to point to isolated segments or panel discussions on PR is not the same as doing longterm, in depth analysis and investigative journalism re the hows and whys of climate change, the Progressive movement, Russian interference, etc.

Brian, please enumerate all of the times Puerto Rico was covered by CNN in the 6 months preceding the new death estimate. I’ll wait.

For a tragedy that may have killed as many people as Katrina and 9/11 combined, the coverage of PR on all the cable networks--not just CNN--has been deplorable.

Here is Kasie DC on a different cable news network (MSNBC) featuring an actual interview of San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz conducted on Sunday.https://mobile.twitter.com/KasieDC/status/1003446159241859077 …

Since the recent publication of the Harvard study in NEJM, I saw/read many stories on Puerto Rico on CNN, MSNBC, Democracy Now!, The Real News Network, New York Times, Washington Post, The Hill, Politico. There was even a segment on The View.
-
Yes, this study has gotten coverage about the problem, but for most outlets it's the first substantive coverage in months, all while the toll of the hurricane has continued to mount.
-
First of all, that is not what you said - you did not acknowledge that there was coverage of Puerto Rico and the Harvard study. Why didn't you? Second, have you read through the transcripts of CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, ABC, NBC, CBS, Democracy Now!, the Real News Network?
-
I said all the coverage--or really dearth of coverage--has been deplorable on the cable networks. I stand by that and I have no idea why you're bringing non cable networks into this when I didn't even reference them.
-
The point on non-cable networks is valid. But, where is your hard evidence that the cable networks has been "deplorable?" Have you actually gone through the transcripts of all of the shows on CNN, MSNBC, Fox News to substantiate your claim? What specific analysis did you perform?
