CNN IS IN FULL DAMAGE CONTROL
CNN GOES ON RAMPAGE AGAINST SUSAN RICE BOMBSHELL, INSTRUCTS VIEWERS TO IGNORE STORY
>Since news broke Monday that the Obama Administration's National Security Adviser, Susan Rice, directed the "unmasking" of NSA intercepts of Trump associates, CNN has raced to shoot down the blockbuster report.
>CNN Tonight's Don Lemon went so far as toannouncehe would ignore the news at all costs.
>Whileinterviewing a Democratic congressman, CNN's Chris Cuomo claimed it was "demonstrably untrue" Rice sought surveillance of the Trump team, even as that's exactly what yesterday's reports prove.
>Over the last 24 hours, the network has also repeatedly called on itschief national security correspondent, Jim Sciutto,to dismiss the reports as a non-story; Sciutto has even excused Rice claiming ignorance of the unmasking scandal two weeks ago, arguing Rice "wasn't aware" what unmasking Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.)was referring to.
>And on Tuesday's"New Day," anchorAlisyn Camerotaopenlypleaded with Sen. John McCain to write-off the news as unimportant.
>Last night, Lemon began "CNN Tonight" with an announcement that the Rice report a "fake scandal ginned up by right-wing media and Trump" that he would not be baited into justifying with coverage.
>"On this program tonight, we will not insult your intelligence by pretending," it's legitimate,he said. "Nor will we aid and abet the people trying to misinform you, the American people, by creating a diversion. Not going to do it."
