CNN has covered the Cuomo story extensively. His brother has said he won’t cover the story personally, and that’s actually the right call. Now admittedly, he should have not covered positive stories about his brother either, so that is a mark against CNN, sure. But notice the difference – CNN covers the actual news, so they don’t ignore a negative story about a Democrat, far from it. And no attempt at spinning it into anything else. Meanwhile FOX will absolutely ignore the big news of the day, or take one slice out of context and run cover. It’s just not a news network. ---

I went there yesterday to see how they were covering the relief bill but you had to really search for it. The top block of _6-8 stories_ was about Meghan Markle and the dustup with her hubby’s family. David Pecker might approve but that’s no way to win a Noble Prize in news reporting.\* \*(I know it’s a Pulitzer but that didn’t fit the joke) ---

This morning, the top nine stories are about our porous southern border. Apparently, the mighty wall fell over in the last couple weeks. The next three stories are about Markle, then the next three are about BLM. Fox…hard hitting “news”. ---

Thank God there’s no health or employment crisis in the US! And, no significant bills being argued and passed. Also, no new CDC guidance on what vaccinated people can do. ---

I guess they do throw in the pandemic topic, but with their unique Fox spin: It’s the migrants spreading the disease. Here is their current run down of important news. [![](https://i.imgur.com/pzAzez0.png) ](https://i.imgur.com/pzAzez0.png) ---

> [@wguy123](#): > > but with their unique Fox spin Right, they are lying about migrants causing the COVID pandemic, which also isn’t a pandemic and you don’t need to wear masks and everything should open back up. Gosh, I guess they are a bunch of lying fucks. ---

You would _almost_ think that, if there were truly legions of COVID-positive Latinos storming across the border, that the border states might _not_ want to eliminate their mask mandates just now. Hmm. ---

Simple: it’s Schrödinger’s Pandemic, which does or does not exist depending on the needs of the moment. Just requires a small dollop of doublethink. ---

Hope that OANN hottie’s kickin around. She’s great with PR puffery before asking a question. Unfortunately, with the new administration, she might feel incumbent to put on her SuperInvestigativeJournalistHat, and maybe start asking the hard questions, and get right to the bottom of the Socialist Agenda to Un-Patriotize America Again. Google didn’t really have a plethora of peachy sources on this. Curious if something like AP or something eventually comes out that might (or might not) fill out more gaps, just to double-check that there were no (sometimes expected) holes in the current sources. ---

A Renaissance woman, she not only carries the torch for OANN, but also magically composes children’s books that warn about Pizzagate and that maybe Hillary _did_ kill Seth. But that’s not all! This granddaughter of a famous psychic also lavishes her explosive talents on young adult fiction, whose titles appparently still can’t be found anywhere on the internet. ---

I have not actually seen Jen Psaki in action, but I can’t help silently reading any quotes of hers I see in Alison Janney/CJ Cregg’s voice. Complete with maybe a look over the glasses frame.
