CNN covering racist comments about Michelle Obama now [View all]

They are hitting it head on. Chyron: Trump Seen Smiling After UFC Fighter Makes Offensive Remarks About Michelle Obama

They are also reporting that the administration refused to comment on the issue. But I think the smile speaks for itself, and at least CNN did ask for a comment and is reporting on what happened.

In this case, good for CNN and they seem to be outreporting MSNOW.
