There was an opportunity here to explain why this isn't a big deal.
This entire article is devoid of any synthesis or value added information. If I saw this on DNYUZ I wouldn't give it a second look, but CNN has lesser aspirations .

If you look at the byline in this CNN article, you'll notice it says "Reuters".
Reuters offers a "news wire" service with articles of generic factoids and syndicated to various news outlets like CNN: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_agency
By design, news wire articles (business, politics, etc) don't have value-added synthesis or insightful analysis because the generic content is created quickly for fast dissemination.
It's not an "opinion piece" like a Matt Levine article or The Economist editorial/analysis.
