Chris Cuomo, Kellyanne Conway get in explosive debate about CNN's coverage of Trump
CNN's Chris Cuomo snapped when Kellyanne Conway on Thursday accused CNN of "slinking away from covering the Russia so-called investigation," sparking a full-on debate about the nature of cable news coverage of the Trump administration.
It is a topic the two have debated before, with Cuomo telling Conway again on Thursday: "You know we try to cover everything that matters, and sometimes you have to cover things when they're not popular. These are issues of national security, and you have to cover them."
"Eh," Conway jumped in, going on to add: "I do appreciate that you're trying to cover all the issues, although I do respectfully disagree." And disagree she did — watch the dramatic debate below (and the subsequent parts here at Raw Story). Jeva Lange
