I think it was a "major" double whammy for CNN.
First x-CNN guy Major Garrett recognizes a story that was first broke on CNN but CNN didn't/wouldn't recognize the value of the story. Red Cross lady first made allegations on CNN on Larry King Show Sept 2.
Second - Major Garrett makes a wonderful observation that he didn't need to do any hard investigative jurnalism, he just picked up a phone a called the Red Cross. He said it something CNN could have done too. They are being shamed into doing their jobs.

Astute observation! It's not about ratings. It's about keeping some shred of credibility. If ratings were important to CNN, the rats would be fleeing the country right now.
