An attempted terrorist attack caused massive chaos during Monday morning’s rush hour in New York City, but some CNN viewers could be in the dark because the network spent an inordinate amount of time covering an anti-Trump story about the president’s soda consumption while details of the chaotic situation unfolded.
At 8:45 a.m. ET a law enforcement official told reporters, including the Associated Press, that a man had a pipe bomb strapped to him when it went off on a New York City subway platform. That was roughly the same time that CNN was in the middle of a segment that featured the chyron, “NYT Report: Trump drinks a dozen diet cokes per day,” while a large graphic promoting Tuesday’s Election Night in Alabama took up a significant portion of the screen.
Viewers quickly took notice. Media crisis guru Yossi Gestetner tweeted, “More than an hour after the pipe-bomb story broke, CNN was busy with Trump’s diet Coke,” while another viewer asked, “Why are you talking about this!”

My wife goes through a lot of Diet Coke. That’s because she pours it into a glass with ice while doing things around the house. Then she pours out half of it because the ice melts too much. Then she pours herself a fresh one.
“Wow, just wow.”
You sound surprised.
It’s CNN, after all...
And when they finally got around to mentioning it they suggested that just because the guy was carrying a bomb doesn’t necessarily mean he ever planned on detonating it.
CNN and all their big media #fakenews comrades are confirming everything President Trump says about them on a daily basis.
I’d like to see how the viewers tuning in could defend them now.
FWIW, Trump drinks the 8oz mini “classic” bottle of Diet Coke......
No bias there. *double sarcasm*
Yeah, and I thought that Melania’s high heels were the scandal of the century. Talk about your bombshells....
CNN really cares about Americans, particularly New Yorkers. /s
Trump is stronger than I thought if he can drink that horrible diet Coke
