QUESTION ASKED AND ANSWERED: Why Does CNN International Maintain a Twitter Blackout On This Major Event?

There are now a couple of tweets at CNN International around the theme of “President Trump tweets his support for protests taking place in Iran, writing, ‘The world is watching!’” and the same text adding, “Corrects to show photo of anti-government protests instead of pro-government protests.” But CNN International certainly isn’t watching. Their tweets include such blockbuster news as:

● “YouTube’s top viral video in 2017 was a singing man in an oyster costume. And who could forget the time this professor’s adorable kids crashed his BBC interview?”

● “It takes 300 people, 12,000 parts and a year to make a single Steinway & Sons piano. Here’s how the pianos are made.”

● “Apple offers $29 replacement batteries immediately.”

● “The World Health Organization will recognize gaming disorder as a mental health condition in 2018.”

● “Here are the full lyrics to ‘Auld Lang Syne’ so you don’t mumble your way through it.”

● “These were the exotic supercars of 2017.” *

Contrast that with a scroll down Glenn’s Twitter homepage right now. In order to prop up the mullahs and former President Obama, and avoid Trump being able to brag about spreading democracy during his watch, CNN International really seems determined to live-up to how the late Roger Ailes described the network to Brian Lamb in 2004:

Or as Jim Treacher once said:

* Exotic supercars? How can CNNi praise them when parent company CNN reported “John Kerry: Climate change as big a threat as terrorism, poverty, WMDs” in 2014?
