CNN writer here puts Musk in the first line of the article where it was considered a success.

In this article Musk's name isn't there... which is the kind of article I would rather see:

Hate the game, not the player.

But one is from 2020, before he turned into a villain. So that’s still tracks. And the second one is from this year. And they’re talking about a feat. I still think my theory is right.

Plus, it’s CNN. I…didn’t think people were really able to defend CNN as anything more than a moneymaking venture. Just because trump hated them, it’s like we all forgot everything they’ve ever done.

Interestingly, they actually took Musk’s name out of this headline (after I posted it, ugh), but managed to replace it with a very BuzzFeed-y one.

Guess CNN is keeping a close eye on what us on Lemmy think of their work. We’re tastemakers.

Yeah it's kind of annoying...
