This was CNN cognitive dissonance on steroids -- with a booster shot of hypocrisy.
Picture this. In its 7 am hour, New Day brought on CNN medical analyst Dr. Jonathan Reiner who called the Times Square New Year's Eve celebration a potential "superspreader" event that is "completely unnecessary" and "unwise." Reiner called omicron "the most contagious pathogen that any of us have ever seen," estimating the true number of daily infections at one million.
But the very next hour of New Day contained a long, hyper-excited, promo for . . . CNN's Times Square New Year's Eve special! CNN entertainment correspondent Chloe Melas couldn't control her exuberance as she touted the event, with all its celebrity guests, hosted by Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen. And Avlon and Collins joined in the giddy enthusiasm.

I get that many FReepers might view concerns over omicron as overblown. But focus on CNN’s hypocrisy. During their “serious” segment, they focus on the danger of the New Year’s Eve celebration in Times Square. But in the next hour, they do a big, cheery, hype of their NYE show!
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Isn’t NYE in NYC restricted to “fully vaxxed”?
Then what’s to worry about?
Every NFL game should be a “superspreader event”, according to CNN’s logic
there’s thousands of people in close quarters, without masks ... there should be thousands of Covid hospitalizations & deaths originating from that, right?
but the result every week is ... nothing
(conclusion - somebody’s lying to us)
FAUCI SAYS TIMES SQUARE IS A GO.
NO PARTICIPANTS ALLOWED AND BLOW UP "STAND-INS" MUST BE MASKED.
DE BLASIO TRIED TO VACCINATE THEM BUT THEY POPPED.
The cess pool is safe.
Put on your trunks and come on in.
Hypocrisy rules in Media these days....and equally in politics or anything regarding Covid.
