CNN is airing every second of it.
Sometimes CNN will have decent or even good chyrons while Fox is lying. mediamatters.org/coronavirus-co…

Today is not one of those times.
Just a thought but maybe debunk the lies on the air instead of a reporter's twitter feed???
I wrote about this, it's pretty simple: CNN privileged the lie. Don't do that.

Chris Wallace, who ignored massive wildfires in the western United States on Fox News Sunday, and who did not ask a single climate crisis question in his 2016 debate, announces that he'll ignore the issue in this debate as well.
Maybe his house has to flood / catch on fire for him to actually pay attention to climate.

There are serious risks to young and healthy people from COVID: theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Meanwhile: Alex Berenson on Fox "straight news" program: "Children and young adults are at basically no risk of serious illness or death from this virus"

No pushback at all.
It's a genuine scandal that the president was downplaying COVID in March despite knowing otherwise.

His favorite network is *still* doing that for nakedly political reasons -- under the guise of "straight news" no less.
Berenson went on to rail at masks, putting it on Chris Hahn to explain why masks are good.

It's just so telling: Fox treats the science as just part of the same old partisan bickering. This is why Trump downplayed the virus in the first place.

175,000 people are dead and the president of the United States is helping a sports radio host do PR for a 9/11 and Sandy Hook truther Image
the president's close relationship with a 9/11 truther should absolutely be part of the 9/11 anniversary stories that are being written at basically every outlet on the planet Image
Also while we're on the subject Image

Today's right-wing claim about "illegal social media monitoring" of Hannity, Trump Jr, etc. is the debunked claim from last year about CrowdTangle recycled.

John Solomon even writes like CrowdTangle is some sort of shady vendor instead of just a search tool owned by Facebook.
Here's Will Sommer in October 2019; it's the exact same bullshit, just with the imprimatur of the State Department instead of a dumb accusation by Tom Fitton thedailybeast.com/pro-trump-medi…
And here's @CourtneyHagle on the claim from October as well. mediamatters.org/judicial-watch…
