They needed time to mourn. Mark October 28th as the day CNN declared by action that it is no longer a news network.
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was an Islamic scholar and self-declared caliphate of the Islamic State. Rising unmolested under the Obama administration, he led the Islamic State for the last five years, presiding over its ascendancy as rampaged through the Middle East and Africa on a bloody jihad across the region. Beheadings, sex slaves, and wanton slaughter, ISIS became synonymous with savagery. Attracting tens of thousands of Musli followers to a sprawling and self-styled caliphate in Iraq and Syria (its size once bettered that of the UK).
His exhortations were instrumental in inspiring terrorist attacks in the heart of Europe and in the United States. Shifting away from the airline hijackings and other mass-casualty attacks that came to define al-Qaida, al-Baghdadi and other IS leaders supported smaller-scale acts of violence that would be harder for law enforcement to prepare for and prevent.

They encouraged jihadists who could not travel to the caliphate to kill where they were, with whatever weapon they had at their disposal. In the U.S., multiple extremists have pledged their allegiance to al-Baghdadi on social media, including a woman who along with her husband committed a 2015 massacre at a holiday party in San Bernardino, California.
CNN Cuts Off Trump Press Conference On Baghdadi While MSNBC Covers It
By Carmine Sabia, The Federalist, October 27,: 2019:
In one of the most biased moves in the history of television news CNN cut away from the press conference of President Donald Trump on the killing of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
The astounding part is that MSNBC, the most liberal network in the news, stayed with the press conference as CNN cut it off.
“All right, as the press conference and announcement turns into lesser matters about who will be invited to the White House to thank them, let’s talk about the momentous announcement President Trump just made,” Jake Tapper said.
Are you kidding? President Donald Trump is announcing the death of Baghdadi and CNN and @JakeTapper cut it to talk. This is the most biased network in existence. MSNBC is continuing to show it.

This is unbelievable. CNN cut off the #TrumpPresser on Baghdadi and MSNBC did not. Zucker has got to go. And @JakeTapper should be ashamed.

Democrats and socialists must live in constant pain with Trump in power
– nothing they do actually works, it almost always backfires
– meanwhile honesty, personal responsibility, and pro-social living, keeps winning
– so CNN had to watch Trump win again, and they could not stand the pain

What does one expect from CNN, the fake-news provider and conjurer? CNN and its MSM counterparts will dismiss anything that is positive regarding Trump. They are in the back pocket, the payroll of the Democratic-Nazis. Their noses are so brown from kissing the you know what of the Democrats and every scumbag leftist on the planet. CNN is a Fifth Column confederacy; they are what they are; why people watch this fake, amateurish journalism is beyond reason. They are part of the dumbing-down plot of the gullible, naive, brain-dead American viewers.

Pull an obama on CNN: Have the FCC revoke their broadcasting license!
Why do we allow our enemy agents have free broadcasting rights in America each and everyone trying to bring down our country and acting as military communications against us? There should be no foreign language broadcasts allowed.

If you are asking why CNN cut away from the press conference, you are asking the wrong question.
Why TF are you still watching CNN?
