In the last week, CNN could have changed its corporate name to the “Cheney News Network,” as it spent hours feting the Wyoming congresswoman as a voice of sanity, a martyr of conscience, and the leader-in-waiting of a hypothetical new political party. Its hyper-focus was pointed out by the host of its own “Reliable Sources,” Brian Stelter, who noted CNN and MSNBC mentioned Cheney’s name more than six times as often as Fox News.

“GOP in disarray? Not on GOP TV,” he tweeted. “This week, Liz Cheney was mentioned 300+ times each on CNN and MSNBC. On Fox News? Just 48 times, per TVEyes.”
