I watched the coverage all day yesterday. The police were talking about their Twitter as the official way to stay updated, and the news anchors frequently were talking about who tweeted what. Maybe CNN just has something against Twitter now, who knows.

Why use a 24 hour news network when you can just get on-the-ground views from Twitter? That's probably what they have against it.

I'm talking more about CNN putting tweets up on the screen and discussing the contents of the tweet. Like when a tweet about MH370 being sucked into a black hole was discussed by a panel.
Yes, and I'm saying maybe someone in their company decided that Twitter is bad, or maybe some Twitter VP ate the sandwich that person wanted to eat, or they decided Twitter is a competitive threat, or whatever. As I said, who knows.
Or maybe the novelty wore off.
