CNN officially responded Friday to widespread criticism the network failed to include a local television station’s perspective because of their pro-wall position; calling the accusations of media bias a “non-story.”
“We called several local stations to book someone for a show. We didn’t end up booking any of them. That happens many times every single day. We did, however, book a reporter from KUSI for a story on immigration and the border wall in November. This is a non story,” the network’s communications department posted on social media.
