Yesterday we told you about CNN deciding that their viewers didn’t need to see a portion of the daily briefing from President Trump and his coronavirus task force. CNN reporter Oliver Darcy noted his network’s avoidance of the presser:
CNN is currently not taking the White House coronavirus briefing. Fox and MSNBC are.

It seems like only yesterday that the media, Darcy included, were mocking the White House for not holding regular formal briefings:

Well isn’t that special!
Also, reminder: It has been 245 days since the last briefing from a White House press secretary.

THIS. Is CNN.
If the DNC bought CNN tomorrow, the only difference would be some new intellectual honesty about what they are. https://t.co/uemPy1NDls

Bingo.
It's genuinely hard to find a more soulless media figure that Oliver Darcy. He went from criticizing the "liberal media" at The Blaze to live-tweeting Fox News and being Brian Stelter's parrot in a matter of months.
Hope the price tag was worth your dignity, bud. https://t.co/wwf3MWsdDw

If you’re not covering it, why does Acosta get to ask questions?

Journalists have done a great job of proving Rubio wrong the past 2 days.

CNN is political activism, not journalism.
