As you know, there have been countless attempts by non-Fox News outlets and pundits to politicize the coronavirus. However, nobody on CNN seems to be aware of that. Reporter Oliver Darcy claimed that all of the politicization is coming from people on one media outlet, and Brooke Baldwin obviously agreed:

I think the word you're looking for to describe this is "Projection" https://t.co/BRW09vDyhh

Self-awareness is hard for CNN journos.
I suspect Oliver knew, either as he was saying this or right after he finished saying it, that this wasn't true https://t.co/2aYr6SqWts

They lie with such ease.
Anyone that has watched a few minutes of CNN or MSNBC coverage knows this is false.
There’s a serious problem when a media reporter only actually reports on one network and makes excuses for everyone else. https://t.co/fdF3PPLcL4

Oliver showing once again that he's too busy watching Fox News to pay attention to his own network. https://t.co/CaQxA2ZDxR

Warren literally filed a bill that said coronavirus funding would be reallocated from wall funding but yeah sure she’s not politicizing this at all. https://t.co/szG9w1qLHv

Self-awareness is something he lacks. His buddy @brianstelter politicized it just yesterday. So did the NYT. ?♀️?♀️

We had no idea that media types referring to it as the “Trumpvirus” and those claiming Trump called the coronavirus a “hoax” worked for Fox News. *Eye roll*
