Wow Fake News CNN At It Again - Cuomo Fake Quarantine

[barbos]

I watch Cuomo practically every day and on Friday (I think) he said he kept isolation even from his infected wife, he then went on and gave his reasons for doing so. In any case impression he was giving throughout his ordeal is that he was in his basement 24/7.

Oh, watch the video 1/2Life posted. that's the one I was talking about.
So yes, Someone is lying here, either that bicyclist or Chris Cuomo.

One can be quarantined away from family members (and the rest of the world) and still not be confined to a basement. One can even drive around and go to another property that one owns.

For the million's time, that's not an issue here.

And Democrats wonder why conservatives call CNN fake news.

No, we don't wonder why. The ones who call it fake news don't like that when the media reports the zillions of facts that show Trump is garbage. Cuomo was being phony here, but that is mostly a minor matter compared to the rampant fake news being spouted by the likes of Fox News (and yourself) over things that matter. For example,

Fox News Quietly Backs Away From Hyping Trump’s Coronavirus ‘Miracle Drug’ Hydroxychloroquine

Since April 15, hydroxychloroquine has been mentioned on Fox News and its sister network, Fox Business Network, a total of 51 times. The week before that, the drug was mentioned 138 times. During the first week of April, there were at least 194 mentions between the two channels.

Nowhere has the pivot been more noticeable than during Fox News’ primetime hours. The network’s three weeknight stars—Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham—were among Fox’s loudest hydroxychloroquine boosters until the president’s pivot. Ingraham, for instance, touted the drug’s “Lazarus”-like resurrective effects on coronavirus sufferers and privately met with Trump at the White House to further sell him on the drug.

Won't hold my breath waiting for their and your retractions and apologies.

Shameless, simply shameless.

Indeed.

No, we don't wonder why.

I think it's important to remember why the respective networks were founded.

CNN began as an interesting idea. A channel that just did news 24/7. Ted Turner looked at MTV - a 24 hour music channel - and said "let's do that, but with news!"

Fox "News" began with a mission of bringing a conservative slant to the news. The entire operation is based on the idea that "the news media" is inherently "liberal," and they were purpose-built as the alleged counter-point. Bias was baked into the cake from day one. The roots of this idea came from the Nixon era...and Nixon was brought down in no small part due to the media exposing his shenanigans. Is it any wonder that the founder of Fox News was an aide to Richard Nixon? Roger Ailes pushed the idea of creating a "pro-administration" TV network back then that would spoon-feed propaganda directly to an easily-manipulated public.

Ted Turner just wanted to jump on the bandwagon of 24/7 cable channels like MTV and ESPN and use news as his vehicle to make money. Ailes finally got the propaganda network he wanted.

The semi-tragic thing is that Fox - by becoming a ratings winner - influenced the direction of CNN and (arguably) led to the creation of MSNBC. They proved that biased news/opinion sells better than straight news. Fox sought to challenge the traditional news, but their model has in many ways supplanted it. Roger Ailes metaphorically killed the likes of Walter Cronkite. Instead of a steady voice relaying the hard news, our prime time is filled with partisans shouting at viewers.

He admits he was out of the house last week so this footage of him exiting the basement as though for the first time is fake news.

And Democrats wonder why conservatives call CNN fake news. They aren't even hiding the lies anymore. Cuomo knows tht everyone knows he left his house! Then he makes a video saying, "I'm finally leaving my basement!!!"

Shameless, simply shameless.

CNN wasn't called Clinton's National Network for nothing back in 2016 you know. They heven't even bothered to sound fair minded anymore for many years, but especially since Killery failed to get into the WH.

 

[fromderinside]

Nice. Do a hatchet job and blame it on Kil..., er, Hillery.

Why not all caps 48 pt. type?

Oh.

Yeah.

Lazy

You probably never ran in the right wing blowhard circles to hear it.

Did you hear FOX being call the Fucked up Old Xenophobes network?
That's what they are, so it doesn't really matter if you heard them being called that...

It was called the Clinton News Network in the late 90's by people like Limbaugh.

Limbaugh still had a program in the late 90's? I thought his program died when one of the local stations quit playing polka music....

I do confess that I was taking angelo at his word re: 2016 and Hillary.

Are people on this forum really regurgitating Limbaugh? Wow.

I guess my problem is that I get my news from trusted news sources rather than from blowhards on the radio.

IIRC, CNN preceeded MTV by at least a couple of years.

Video news is basically all about eyeballs, not about news. If you want the truth, read it, don't watch it.

My apologies. That's correct actually to a point. But then there's this......................................
