I was talking about this with some American friends and they basically told me they did not think the incident happened and would check for themselves. They did confirm with me after, that yes, they had found info about the initial bombing, that it did happen, but had basically received no coverage.
CNN definitely selects coverage based on ratings but I find it really funny when anyone considers them left or right bias.

CNN will go the extra effort to show they are neutral on subjects, where they clearly shouldn't be. It actually gets really embarrassing how far they go, which turns their news sometimes into a sham.
