Again, were the shoe on the other foot, CNN would be questioning whether Sciutto got it from someone sympathetic to his politics and Sciutto then interpreted everything else through that lens. The key framing from CNN is that the President put the source in jeopardy. That is Sciutto’s major emphasis and, in his interview on CNN, what he goes to first until pushed for more. Contrast that with the New York Times’ follow up reporting. The decision to extract the informant was driven “in part” because of concerns that Mr. Trump and his administration had mishandled delicate intelligence, CNN reported. But former intelligence officials said there was no public evidence that Mr. Trump directly endangered the source, and other current American officials insisted that media scrutiny of the agency’s sources alone was the impetus for the extraction. 1

And it's once again helpful to point out that Scuitto was an Obama employee before becoming a "journalist". I'm sure that plays no role in his objectivity. None at all. (The media is not your friend...) 1
