Here, however, it was specifically CNNI decision to repeat the documentary for European prime time, and its their dedicated anchor and producers who did not have a hunch about it.
Well. I think the full name of The Lead is technically "The Lead with Jake Tapper' -- so even when it's hosted by someone else, it's still "The Lead with Jake Tapper." Still, I agree that is kind of weird.
The show schedules and who is actually anchoring can be checked easily enough. There's no great divide separating the networks in that regard. Sometimes people don't actual check and just assume.
