CNN is trash.

No wait, CNN is trash that’s been set on fire and dropped into a dumpster full of manure.

Even that’s not harsh enough to describe takes like this:

Trump peddles unsubstantiated hope in dark times | Analysis https://t.co/jFXTbFpNb6 pic.twitter.com/PSaSzFebew — CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) March 20, 2020

So much “journalism”!

CNN should move it's headquarters to Beijing. https://t.co/dW8rCAiF37 — thebradfordfile™ (@thebradfordfile) March 20, 2020

CNN is a cancer on American politics. https://t.co/n8YWoSyS8w — Sean Davis (@seanmdav) March 20, 2020

Just imagine the CNN headline if Obama was dealing with the same problem.

CNN would be totally okay with thousands of people getting sick and millions more losing their jobs in a recession if it meant Donald Trump's approval rating would drop https://t.co/wNNLuD4q8B — Greg Price (@greg_price11) March 20, 2020

It’s impossible to argue otherwise.

Absolute garbage from "reporter" @StCollinson: "He [Trump] can't hold the campaign rallies that are his political lifeblood any more — so he's just moved them into the White House briefing room." https://t.co/qEKMzHgpZa — Eddie Zipperer (@EddieZipperer) March 20, 2020

Listening to CNN.

1. The meds won't work

2. If the work they are worse that the virus

3. No Hope. — Michael Martin (@dalipals_martin) March 20, 2020

THIS is why he unloads on shit reporters. https://t.co/G5gcEkg3F4 — CompoundBoss (@CompoundBoss) March 20, 2020

"At CNN, we don't do opinion, we put the story out there and we try to stay in the middle of the road.” — @donlemon https://t.co/1ePFZnd56w — johnny dollar (@johnnydollar01) March 20, 2020

CNN should be treated as an in kind contribution to the Democrats. — The Vast Right Wing (@TheVastRightWin) March 20, 2020

Sometimes hope is all you have. In the mid 2000s, I met with a Zambian priest who had spent his life in ministry. Countless people had been lost to HIV/AIDS. The government utterly corrupt. Most everyone living in poverty. I asked how he endured. "Hope, & faith. I have both." https://t.co/trUbt1GXqa — Bryan Dean Wright (@BryanDeanWright) March 20, 2020

If you’re keeping score at home, here’s how it works:

Scenario A

Trump: This is horrible, it's never going to get better.

Media: Trump is stoking panic, a President should be the voice of calm. Scenario B

Trump: I'm optimistic about how it's going to work out, we'll be better than ever.

Media: Trump is downplaying people's fear. — Pam Besteder (@pambesteder) March 20, 2020

And it never fails.
