CNN got to be the biggest idiots around....
CNN is being widely-mocked for a report knocking the Trump administration for its "lack of diversity" in the task force combatting the coronavirus -- with a former CNN pundit even pointing out the network’s own lack of diversity.
In an "analysis" piece, CNN national political writer Brandon Tensley sounded the alarm after President Trump tweeted out photos from a briefing he had on the deadly virus that is spreading across the world, saying "we have the best experts" who are monitoring the situation.
"Who are these experts? They're largely the same sort of white men (and a couple [of] women on the sidelines) who've dominated the Trump administration from the very beginning," Tensley complained.
The CNN writer then compared Trump's male, pale, team to a photo taken of former President Obama's during the 2014 Ebola outbreak.
"By contrast, former President Barack Obama's circle of advisers in the face of the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa was hardly so monochromatic," Tensley wrote. "Neither was it so abysmal in terms of gender diversity (Of course, to contextualize, Obama's administration, on the whole, was far more diverse than Trump's.). And yet, as unsurprising as the diversity conversation in the Trump era has become, it's still worth pointing out from time to time, especially as the country approaches the 2020 presidential election in earnest."
Tensley assessed that the images "telegraph the sorts of people the administration is deemed worthy of holding power- and even being in close proximity to it," later adding, "the visuals that have come to define the Trump administration say something else, too. They signal the kind of people in a multi-racial country Trump values the opinions of: mostly white men who are mirror images of the President himself."
The report was slammed on social media.
"So just to get this straight, CNN is objecting to a task force designed to stop an epidemic by focusing on...ethnic diversity?" Daily Wire editor-in-chief Ben Shapiro asked.
"Your Trump hatred at CNN is a real cancer to our body politic. This means absolutely nothing in terms of being able to stop a deadly virus. I'm pretty sure the #coronavirus doesn't care that this room isn't 'diverse,'" NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck reacted.
"If Trump used an executive order to deploy resources for research that cured coronavirus, CNN would publish editorials on his 'authoritarian tendencies in addressing public health,'" radio show host Buck Sexton tweeted.
