CNN Goes Full Resistance: Chyrons During Trump Coronavirus Briefing Read Like Democrat Attack Ads

CNN repeatedly posted statements on screen attacking President Trump during Monday’s White House coronavirus task force briefing with such viciousness they read like attack ads by the Democratic Party. Indeed, a Biden campaign official tweeted her approval of CNN’s attack on Trump.

CNN reporter Shimon Prokupecz posted a series of photos of CNN’s chyron statements:

“ANGRY TRUMP TURNS BRIEFING INTO PROPAGANDA SESSION”

“TRUMP USES TASK FORCE BRIEFING TO TRY AND REWRITE HISTORY ON CORONAVIRUS RESPONSE”

“TRUMP MELTS DOWN IN ANGRY RESPONSE TO REPORTS HE IGNORED VIRUS WARNINGS”

“ANGRY TRUMP USES PROPAGANDA VIDEO, PRODUCED BY GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES AT TAXPAYERS’ EXPENSE”

“TRUMP ATTACKS MEDIA AFTER SERIES OF REPORTS HE IGNORED WARNINGS AS VIRUS SPREAD”

“TRUMP REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY MISTAKES”

The Trump campaign’s Abigail Marone weighed in with this observation, “This is the chyron CNN put on screen as President Trump discussed amazing technical innovations that allow us to sterilize N95 masks, providing more #PPE to our front line health care workers.”
