Anybody who’s ever subjected themselves to watching CNN on a fairly consistent basis knows that their penchant for constant negative stories about Trump and attempts to scare viewers to death about COVID-19 are hourly occurrences. Kirstie Alley made that clear with this tweet:

I now Know why my personal friends who walk around in SHEER TERROR of contracting Covid are simply CNN viewers! I decided to watch CNN myself to get a their viewpoint and oh my God DID I EVER!!!! IF YOU TOO WANT TO LIVE IN TERROR WATCH CNN!!
FEAR OF DYING IS THEIR MANTRA! OMG!

Somebody in CNN’s PR department didn’t like that criticism, and decided to attempt a “bad ratings” zinger:

Kirstie, you are welcome to change the channel – just like countless viewers did every time “Veronica’s Closet” came on TV. But don’t downplay the loss of nearly 230K American lives. And please, wear a mask.

Somebody’s a little testy.

Meow …if only you paid as much attention to Joe Biden’s alleged corrupt business dealings as a TV show that was rated top ten in 1997….. guess you got that wrong too?‍♀️ https://t.co/j1BelxVohy

Find ONE tweet I’ve tweeted to encourage people NOT to wear masks or NOT be careful or that has said anything disrespectful about sick people or those who have died … there isn’t one.

Many on CNN will gladly pretend to confuse calling out their constant fear-mongering with a lack of concern for the actual problem.
