I'd like to point out that they also receive backlash for not giving enough coverage to Puerto Rico, the wildfires, really important legislation, etc. Right now there is so much going on that is important that it's got to be tough to cover it all. Therefore, they must look at things like is there any new info on each of these topics, how much new info, etc.
And let me just add that if CNN doesn't cover the Weinstein scandal enough this week, conservative Twitter will go ballistic claiming it's because of picking political sides, and vice versa on coverage of Trump problems this week with liberals. So really, they are darned if they do and darned if they don't on some level.
Everyone had their pet issue. I remember when eastern Kentucky and Tennessee were on fire and only local news covered it. Some people were upset by lack of coverage. Later, Gatlinburg caught fire, but even with the popularity of that place it wasn't given any coverage until evacuation orders came.
My point is that it's all important to somebody and during times like these when we are dealing with multiple crises in this nation it's got to be hard to figure out what needs coverage for that day.
