CNN producers just a few weeks ago would readily acknowledge the trouble they were having in getting Trump administration officials to speak about current events on the network. Now, they can’t get them to shut up.
Just last week, Trump adviser Stephen Miller took time out during a White House press briefing to berate Jim Acosta, the network’s senior White House correspondent. In a nearly half-hour interview broadcast July 27, then-White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci phoned in to “New Day” co-anchor Chris Cuomo to explain his concerns about leaks from the White House. When Scaramucci chastised CNN for its coverage of Russian interference with the election — and possible ties to Trump officials — Cuomo pushed back. “It’s not that we have some untoward fascination with an investigation. We do it because it threatens the foundation of the democracy,” he said. “You know that. You know it matters.”
