Former CNN, FOX News, and MSNBC host Greta Van Susteren is not happy with CNN’s reporting of the unfortunate news that Republican Senator [score]John McCain[/score] is battling brain cancer and she’s letting the world know about it on social media.
Van Susteren blasted CNN on Wednesday evening for grandstanding by calling their reporting on the matter “Exclusive” as if they were the only news network in America who had the story.
Greta called CNN out in a tweetstorm:
CNN is so tasteless…why does CNN need to brag its report about Senator McCain's cancer is "exclusive" -really, need to do that now?

News organizations let the American people down when they brag about bad news-e.g. that they got it first,etc https://t.co/OBTrX6v7oJ

This struck me tonight as wrong – difference to me between "breaking news" and saying "we have an exclusive"but maybe I am wrong https://t.co/znEWpV9PQ3

Greta Van Susteren’s left FOX News for MSNBC after several years at the network. She left MSNBC after just six months at the far-left cable news channel, leading many to speculate that she wasn’t as unhinged against President Donald Trump as the network would prefer. We’re not sure if Greta was planning on going back to CNN, where she worked before FOX, but she probably just didn’t help her chances.
