John,
It’s inexcusable.
Callously and heartlessly preying on human death and anguish, using a deadly pandemic to score political points, and bending the truth to do it, CNN and the left-wing, dinosaur media have stooped so low, it’s mystifying to consider how much lower they could go.
As civilians fear for their lives, the lives of loved ones and friends, and their sources of income due to the deadly airborne virus called COVID-19, and as the Trump Administration swiftly moves to address the troubles, the leftist media seem more interested in casting aspersions at President Trump than actually being honest with us!
LET’S FIGHT BACK
Here’s what you can do:
- Use our grassroots tools to EMAIL CNN and let them know your frustration
- Use our grassroots tools to CALL CNN and leave a message expressing your disapproval
- Use our grassroots tools to TWEET to key CNN figures and tell them that their use of a deadly virus to score political points is unctuous and unacceptable

If you have extra time to read more info, here are examples of the insults hurled our way so far:
January:
President Donald Trump quickly moves to form a team to prepare for and fight the Coronavirus. CNN’s self-righteously indignant Brandon Tensley focuses on the RACIAL/GENDER composition of the panel, saying, “Who are these experts? They're largely the same sorts of white men (and a couple women on the sidelines) who've dominated the Trump administration from the very beginning.” — As if race or sex should have anything to do with merit when battling a virus that doesn’t discriminate as it spreads.
February:
CBS’s Sixty Minutes not only gives former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg time to errantly claim that President Trump called COVID-19 a “hoax,” but the network “brain-trust” never bothers to correct him or explain that President Trump called Democrat criticism of his HANDLING of the virus a hoax.
Leftist newspaper The Guardian does CBS one worse, publishing a misleading Facebook headline claiming President Trump called the virus “a hoax.”
...But when one clicks on The Guardian’s article, the actual headline reads: “Trump calls coronavirus criticism Democrats' 'new hoax' and links it to immigration.” (Factually, this virus DID come in through our borders… sooo… )
CNN’s John Avlon suggested that Vice President Pence’s skepticism of climate alarmism is a sign that the Vice President is "barely on speaking terms with science."
The CBS hosts of the February 25th Democrat Party Presidential Debate never questioned or corrected false claims by Bloomberg, former Vice President Joe Biden, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D–Mass.) that Trump cut key funding from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and impaired America's readiness for the virus.
March:
On March 1, CNN’s Brian Stelter exhibited the gall to claim that: “Pro-Trump media stars are defending Trump’s handling the outbreak by accusing news outlets of rooting for the virus.”
On March 2, CNN gave leftist economic rhetorician Paul Krugman unchallenged time to attack Trump’s work fighting COVID-19, allowing Krugman to spout hearsay and assertions and to go so far as to imply that President Trump was distorting the truth about the virus.
As MRCTV and NewsBusters have exposed, IN A SINGLE DAY, CNN spent far more time bashing President Trump — errantly claiming he had cut the CDC budget, claiming he was engaged in a “war on science” — than actually reporting on the science of the virus and its spread.
This is too much. It’s time we push back. Right now.
TAKE ACTION!
Join MRC Action in our nation-wide effort to put CNN on notice that we HAVE HAD ENOUGH. They can no longer spread their unfounded attacks and errant nonsense without being called-out. They can no longer use this viral outbreak as yet another childish toy to try to gain political leverage and political advantage.
COVID-19 is deadly serious. But in its evident attempt to score political points, CNN has led the slavering pack in the use of the virus to misreport, book outrageously deceptive guests, and perpetuate lies.
JOIN US TO STOP THEM! Together, we can tell CNN celebrities and tell our friends that this is a despicable, ghoulish practice of political propaganda…
And we’ve had ENOUGH.
TELL CNN WHAT YOU THINK
