Earlier today, CNN anchor Jake Tapper tweeted about COVID19 victims of media and political bad-faith actors:
Practically every day I see a tweet or blog post about someone who wrongly thought COVID-19 was a hoax dying of COVID-19 and all I can think about are the members of the media and politicians who mis-informed that person and who assuredly feel zero responsibility.

We’re guessing Tapper didn’t have CNN in mind when he referred to “members of the media […] who misinformed that person and who assuredly feel zero responsibility.” But that’s OK, because plenty of others did.
Didn’t CNN call Trump racist when he stopped flights from China? https://t.co/vspCvCOszE

Clean up your own house, Jake.
I wonder why more people didn't take this serious when the corporate press decided to focus on virtue signaling rather than informing us of the dangers posed by a novel virus spreading like wildfire. https://t.co/NGAusA3y35

It really is a mystery.
