BREAKING: A highway in Michigan has water on it. But NO report on hearings.
Seriesly. This is hugh.

There has been a water main break somewhere in Michigan, and the left lane of the interstate is actually under 3-4 inches of water.

This is "BREAKING NEWS" on CNN. I am not making this up.

So far, about two hours since this morning's hearings concluded, CNN still doesn't seem to think contempt charges and RNC subpoenas are actually "newsworthy."

But whoa! There's a puddle on the highway in Michigan, so if you're running out for a gallon of milk you'd best avoid going through that part of Michigan, 'Merkins.

2. Hey, Michigan is surrounded by water
This could be the beginning of Michigan sinking into all that water. CNN would be seriously remiss if they did not cover Michigan sinking into the abyss.

5. Hearings, what hearings?
Welcome to America where impeachment is the only way to draw attention and accuracy to their crimes.

9. I don't get why Michigan is getting so much attention
Part of I35W in Minneapolis flooded after a downpour and I didn't see that on the national news --- Oh wait, that was on the weekend so there was no news out of Washington that needed to be ignored.

Nevermind.

14. CNN is not a news network
It's for entertainment purposes, and to show live pictures of the occasional newsworthy event. But it's no more a news channel than FOX is.


ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS are all flawed, but you can get news from them. C-SPAN for political stuff.

who allegedly tried to rob a bank.

emptied onto the freeway, CNN announced a parking space in NYC costs $250,000. Did a big piece on the parking space.
