CNN stops displaying Covid counter. Why?

[blackangst1]

So I flipped over to CNN, and after a few minutes noticed they arent displaying the COVID infection/death counter any more. Interesting. Its been up every time Ive tuned in over the last 10 months.

Wonder what the reasoning is?

Blackangst1 did not like the replies in his thread so he deleted the content and title. I have restored the content and reconstructed a title. I don't remember what the title was, so this is the best I can do. Since it seems that only blackangst1 and Tucker Carlson believed this to be true I am locking it.

It's all over their website.

Tracking Covid-19 cases in the US

Track the spread of coronavirus in the United States with maps and updates on cases and deaths.

www.cnn.com

That links from the front end.

I know what you're getting at. Trump's idiotic prediction that the media would "stop covering COVID" after the election. Well guess what, they haven't. Not even close.

The pandemic is on the front page of EVERY MSM news site.


But CNN didn't have the ticker on their screen for a minute today... so... conspiracy!!!

Nah, they took down the counter yesterday from their broadcast. Where did I indicate it was a conspiracy? Or are you projecting?

It's fair point to point out.

Omission is one of the ways news media control the narrative.

Now that it's political purpose is done, the ticker is also done since there is no need for the public to know if the "good guys" are doing substantially better than their predecessor.

Now, this might be just a one time thing. If for a prolonged period the ticker is gone, then it is clear the news no longer wants the numbers to trigger the public anymore. .

Last year the administration tried to diminish the severity of COVID-19 and CNN posted up daily figures to counteract it.
Now the administration is taking it seriously and communicating to all to take it seriously.
There is less pressure on news organizations to remind people daily that COVID is killing Americans because now leadership is reinforcing the point.

It's never been on continuously.

MSNBC is certainly featuring it prominently still. They even pointed out that we set a new death record on Inauguration Day. Thanks Joe.

What about it is interesting to you and what do you think it indicates?

 

[sportage]

Well.... Trump was doing NADA about the covid so we needed to see how that was destroying the country where as Joe Biden is on top of the situation and thus we can get the real-time true stats and true facts directly from the Biden administration and from the Biden covid task force. We now have access to the facts and so we don't need CNN to do the job that Trump administration should have been doing... but were not.

 

[blackangst1]

Its interesting because its been up there mostly all the time for the last 10 months, and I dont know what it indicates. Just curious why they decided to take it down (from their broadcasts).

Here my friend, let me try to put pen to paper for you.

"It clearly indicates that CNN doesn't really care about COVID deaths. They just had the counter playing continuously because they hate Trump and wanted him to lose his bid for reelection. Now that the leftist globalist Democrats have won the election, CNN is going to stop caring about COVID deaths. The fact that the counter was taken down clearly shows this happening already."

You know what? Yoiu guys are complete assholes. Youre as closed=minded and judgmental as Trump supporters. I never even mentioned any nefarious or conspiracy-like ideas, and yet fake quotes have been made and projections of what I might be thinking. I was simply trying to get your thoughts on something. You guys though are incapable of having a conversation with anyone that might just have a differing opinion than you. Thats a true sign of lack of intelligence and brainwashing.

Fuck you guys.

It used to be that we disagreed over the basic facts we were fighting over, and we had different opinions about them. Now I think we accept different sources of authority. ... And people can establish credibility on their own say-so as long as nobody follows the trail and calls them out on it.

Because I'm curious?

As a patient of psychotherapy and a student of my psychologists psychological theories I learned to question the idea that curiosity of the kind you describe actually exists. I see in your curiosity a motivated component based of feelings you are unaware you have. Namely those would be suspicion and paranoia that something is out to get you. What that thing out to get you really is is self hate, the hidden enemy within.

Furthermore, as it was explained to me, everything you fear has already happened. We lost ourselves as children and now live in the projection that something valuable will be taken again, namely, this time, our substitute sacred cows we worship in lieu of having real self respect.

Part of why you post the things you do is because you want to challenge others to put you down so you can acquire ego gratification from denial of any guilt. This is pointless because there was never anything wrong with you except you had, under penalty of psychic death, to believe there was.

Everything you fear has already happened and there was never any truth to what you were made to fear. Relax and be happy. Resurrection is on the cross. You were born in the image of God and if your false self dies it is what you will become. Don't worry. Be happy. There is only love.

My salvation is secure. Thats for sure. However, there is not only love. Unless youre taking MDMA. Dont fool yourself.

You start a idiotic thread and then throw a hissy fit when people poke fun at you for it? Was the breaking point when Amused posted a clip form today with the covid data on CNN?
