Pence blocks Fauci from CNN (nothing to see here folks)

[icehorse]

Summary: CNN has decided that it often won't broadcast trump's so-called "covid updates" because, well because they're dangerous and off-topic. In retaliation, Pence is blocking Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx from giving interviews on CNN.

This doesn't seem at all fascist, totalitarian, or unconstitutional. </sarcasm>

They can always address the good Dr.s at the update sessions at the Whitehouse briefings. So not fascist at all. Why go to the modern National Enquirer type reporting agencies when there are better outlets?

Hey, anything I dislike is "fascist"...even if it's just a
piddly little micturition match between Trump & CNN.

FWIW, CNN is seen as mostly non-partisan.

Doh! Of course! And here I was thinking that journalism was supposed to be independent.

Of course CNN has proven that's not always so...

As only CNN viewers believe. I find them VERY partisan. The fact they won't show the updates is a testament to the fact they are partisan.

If they don't give equal time to the Democrats especially governors in response, they're clearly right-wing leaning.

Indeed. I would even go so far as to say that you have made an open and close case for that, Jay.

Mr. Trump's ability to be believed by the American public as successfully dealing with this pandemic almost entirely rests on his ability to shape and control the narrative, given that his actual performance has been mostly incompetent. Hence he has resorted to daily "briefings" that nearly everyone but America's ample supply of village idiots is coming to see for what they are: propaganda. Hence, CNN must be penalized for its failure to support Mr. Trump's narrative. If he cannot impose it on the American people, he cannot win reelection.

By whom?

Ever since the 2016 election, and probably before, CNN has behaved like the propaganda arm of the democratic party, the Hate Trump Network. That hatred is their presupposition and it biases (and typically ruins) every politically-relevant story they try to present.

Except independent studies, such with Politico, show CNN to be the most accurate evening news just behind PBS' NewsHour, with Fox being the least reliable. I saw three similar studies several years that concluded Fox simply is the worst, which stands to reason as Murdock create the network to reflect "conservative values". His numerous other networks are also unreliable if news is what one really wants. Even some congressional Pubs in the past have criticized Fox on that basis, and some former Pubs that have left that party have been very critical of it.

As for myself, I get my news from across the board, and that includes both the t.v. and internet news. I don't blindly trust any network. And, yes, I do somethings watch Fox, thus I don't ignore them.

There could be right leaning outlets too. Never said there couldn't. I think the subject matter was CNN

Why don't you cite Fox in a similar way then if objectivity is what you really want? Also, see my last post above.

Let's not conflate valuing truth with hating trump. I would say that ANY journalist who is neutral on trump isn't really being a journalist. journalism is meant to be about truth.

Well, since I sorta bounce around all over the place, I don't know which talking heads are saying what. And if I ask my wife, I'll get all sorts of advice, let me tell ya.
