Just how desperate is CNN to make the Trump administration’s coronavirus response look bad? Perhaps a clue can be found in their sharing of the Russian government’s assessment of the alleged effectiveness of their own response:
Does Russia have coronavirus under control? According to information released by Russian officials, Putin's strategy seems to have worked. https://t.co/eWIulAXYnn

Well, there it is.
I see we're just regurgitating Russian propaganda now https://t.co/RKmpG6YYQA

Can CNN now be accused of being a Russian asset? That seems to be how it’s worked in the past.
I was told that your network criticized President @realDonaldTrump for 2 years, alleging he was doing the bidding of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. But now you are implyng Vladimir Putin is a good guy. I am so confused. Did someone lie to me?

So, now CNN accepts what Putin says as the truth!?
We're living in the Matrix, and there's a serious glitch. https://t.co/FzlVYfovZW

The same people who pushed the Russia effected the election are trusting the numbers put out by Putin

Someone should go to CNN's door and grill them about why they're unwittingly promoting Russian propaganda.

Thanks for the propaganda

Russia is clearly lying: https://t.co/IBXGLfC5ua
Russian media is claiming there are almost no cases and mocking other countries like the US for taking drastic measures. That's a dangerous message and western news outlets shouldn't help amplify it. https://t.co/gYDIA4zy60

And yet the mainstream media will help amplify Russia’s message if they think it helps make Trump look worse.
UPDATE: Garry Kasparov adds…
Why is CNN running Putin's propaganda? Russia's numbers are "low" because they are lying. They are always lying until proven otherwise. They don't take down misinformation, they take down the truth. I'm furious. https://t.co/0GzU6HUDZj
