CNN.. Fake News or lazy?

If you wish to side with the media that is carrying the water for the communist Chinese, that is your prerogative.

No, you are the one doing that.

For the legit question on, "what do you say to Americans who are afraid?" 

Seriously, the same question was asked to Pence an hour later and he answered the question perfectly. 

Man, your head is so far up Trump's ass it is sad. 

Legit question asked by someone whose motives are transparent. Trump should have answered it with some form of "It's OK to be scared, be assured that we're doing everything possible..."

OTOH, the person who asked the question is pretty clearly a partisan hack incapable of turning it off in favor of being a decent human being even in times like these.

Real headline from MSN (who knew they still existed): “Drug touted by Trump to possibly treat virus can kill in just 2 grams https://t.co/MtkPhxAzwy”

Alternative headline, you can overdose on medication. FFS

Well if you say it is, then it must be. 👍

Real journalism is non-existent in the entertainment channels that try to pass themselves off as news channels...FOX, CNN, MSNBC and the like are nothing but entertainment.

Real journalistic reporting reports what happened with substantiated facts...and lets the reader or viewer come to their own conclusions without tainting, spinning or slanting the message.  Period

That's basically Fox News, in the afternoon.  CNN in its war with Trump has become a 24/7 leftwing version of Fox's primetime programming.

Looks like fake news anchor has seen the light that letting people bash trump all day with no push back as real as it was since Trump has bent over backwards to help his brother

1. He's not a news anchor. He's a commentator. If his last name weren't Cuomo, we'd never gave heard of him.

2. The article is clear that he thinks Trump's as much of the problem as Democrats - I wouldn't call that "seeing the light" about Trump bashing. 

3. The guy has a overly-inflated sense of his own importance and relevance. The vast majority of people in the world couldn't care less what he thinks or says. 

4. LOL using Brietbart as a source for media "seeing the light" - as hyper partisaned as they come.

Once again, how does this change the aspect of the audio from Cuomo?

It doens't.  It's just funny to see you go to a hyper partisan source to read about how an opposite hyper partisan force has supposedly seen the error in its ways (even though that really wasn't the gist of the article).

I think Chris Cuomo sounds like a douchebag.  I've never watched his program.  The only times I've ever heard of him is when he got called Fredo and his now "carrying the cross" for coronavirus sufferers everywhere.  Truth serum would probably lead him to admit that getting coronavirus was a godsend for him because he can now imagine himself the equivilant of an imbedded reporter who got shot on Omaha Beach but still gave dispatches.  

He was bullying up a 67 year old bike rider the other day in the Hamptons.  He is a first class jackass.  Only CNN or MSNBC would continue to employ such a jerk. Of course, they employ multiple jerks.

They do employ some jerks.  Wouldn't you lump Fox in to.  They've employed jerks like O'Reilly, Laura Ingram and Glen Beck among others.  No side has a monopoly on them.  

Lol CNN's Chief International Anchor tweeted out today "Defunding the WHO in the middle of a pandemic is like pulling the plug on firefighters in the aftermath of 9/11".

A lot of them really are more actor or Ron Burgundy types than actual partisan/activists, although I think Ingram and Beck have radio shows so they are pretty legit (although still catering to an audience).  Others have changed networks, and if you look at someone like Meghan Kelly there's definitely a bit of a persona/character.

I'd guess a number of the talking heads are as fake as the politicians they rant about.  Good examples are Bill Maher and Ann Coultre - no way those two are good friends if they are as passionate idiots as they pretend to be (and they're not, they're putting on a show to make money).

I think it's hard to defend.  The WHO has made mistakes and the Director should probably be fired, but $1B is chump change.  It makes no sense to pull back, and is another example of Trump making a big show out of petty stuff.  He's not going to pull funding - he'll make a big stink about it and then declare victory after WHO makes some trivial gesture.

What CNN fails to tell people is that we arent the only ones funding them.  About 16% of their funding is from us.  I am sure they can trim the fat like everyone else

I don't know a thing about the work WHO does, so I can't say if this was deserved.  If it is deserved, now is not the time only because it is an emotional reactionary decision.  It is obviously a blame deflector and will not prove an effective one.  If it is deserved, once the crisis passes, the study is done and then a rationed decision can be made.

Before we trash all things UN and global related, let's remember the US is one of the main drivers if not the biggest driver of these efforts in politics, health, business (via trade deals) since WW2.  THese things weren't "imposed" on us.  That doesn't mean they aren't accountable and shouldn't be scrutinized like every other organization.  But it is fashionable to belittle and mock these entities when in fact we are largely responsible for their existence.

Dude, money talks and BS walks.  Our government spends hundreds of billions of our tax dollars across our borders to run all this crap.  Now is the time to send a message.  THe WHO doesnt do a damn thing to help the US and our health.  They basically serve 3rd world countries which to me they dont do a very good job at.

As for this "crisis", all the news coming out is that they take the worlds money and have failed to do anything.  I will go with that for now.

Markets are up today, so I flipped on fox business to see what’s going on. I’ve seen two separate segments on Nancy Pelosi eating “expensive” ice cream and the hosts and guests getting upset by it. 
First of all, why are they even talking about that on  a show about the markets? Second, for those that constantly shit on CNN, MSNBC (rightfully so), can you at least acknowledge that Fox News does the same exact thing that you hate cnn for doing? 
Or do you not think there’s anything wrong with Fox doing this because you agree with it?
