“Breaking Bad” and “Under the Dome” star Dean Norris isn’t too keen on CNN’s news judgment tonight:
BREAKING NEWS ON CNN! snow. Yeah, f'n snow is now breaking news. Wtf cnn

He’s isn’t alone in his annoyance:

@deanjnorris Snow is news? In Canada, we call it "Wednesday".

@deanjnorris They had to choose. Snow or Kim K ' s butt. Nothing else going on in the world is more important. Not immigration, economy…

But CNN’s Jake Tapper is defending his network’s coverage:
@deanjnorris an historically strong snowfall in which at least 7 people have died. Yes, wow. Imagine that.
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) November 20, 2014
Ouch.

Well, Tapper makes a fair point, too.
@deanjnorris people have died, some are still trapped w/more snow on the way, over 6ft in 24 hrs & still falling…watch something else then

@deanjnorris You realize people have lost family members due to this horrible snow storm right?? Smh

Update:
Norris has responded:
“@jaketapper: @deanjnorris an historically strong snowfall 7 people have died. Yes, wow. Imagine that.” 20k kids died of starvation TODAY

What say you, Mr. Tapper?
@deanjnorris &every day, approx. 800 women die from preventable causes related to pregnancy/childbirth. Lots of sad untold stories, agree
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) November 20, 2014
@deanjnorris @jaketapper Dean has a point
— Andrew (@Andrew_J97) November 20, 2014
@Andrew_J97 @deanjnorris sure, thats a larger discussion. should we be covering heart disease, fistula, diarrhea etc more?

@Duffa_1 @deanjnorris in the media and by the public.
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) November 20, 2014
@jaketapper lots of snow was forecast. That's news. Not BREAKING news. Ease up on the sensational banners
— Dean Norris (@deanjnorris) November 20, 2014
How about a truce?

— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) November 20, 2014
