In 2009, CNN casually covered the Swine flu pandemic under Obama. In 2020, CNN started lambasting Trump in its coronavirus coverage.
In 2009, at the height of the H1N1 pandemic commonly referred to as “swine flu,” the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) suggested Americans should shut down schools, begin working from home, and quarantine themselves. Americans made minimal changes to their routines. Eleven years later, a new pandemic arose with similar CDC suggestions, but an entirely different reaction.
Americans are stockpiling toilet paper and many are taking extreme precautions to self-quarantine in these so-called unprecedented times. In the new age of “fake news,” the question must be asked whether the media has any effect on the American people’s and government’s response to a Chinese virus.
Flashback to 2009, when CNN took a casual approach to the swine flu pandemic. They published an article saying the regular flu and the swine flu were essentially the same. Instead of focusing on the pandemic, they focused on other news. The American people’s response: relaxed.
Flash forward to 2020: CNN is lambasting the Trump administration and covering the coronavirus at all hours of the day. The American people’s response: panicked.
Here’s a comparison timeline of CNN’s coverage of the 2009 Swine flu pandemic. Hat tip to this Twitter account for first investigating the differences:

One in the same.
basically the C word
CNN is glagship ff the “Death to America” media.
Call it the CNN flu.
Because they had to protect their messiah Obama..there was no mass panic, even after 1,000 Americans DIED of the virus Obama finally called it a national emergency..19,000 Americans ended up dying of the disease, the first case being a 10 year old California girl, this virus struck the young HARD but the media all invested in protecting their messiah barely mentioned it, stock market did not crash, no quarantine, no closing down malls, restaurants, movie theaters..people went out and did whatever they wanted
Because 0bama was their Dear Leader.
According to a CBS News report from October 24, 2009, it took over 1000 American deaths from HiNi (Swine flu) before 0bummer declared a national emergency. Ol’ Johnny on the spot, wasn’t he?
H1N1 (duh...)
I still can’t believe we are shutting down the world over a strain of the FLU that has a much lower mortality rate than the Standard, everyday FLU??

CNN will probably say Trump has cornered the toilet paper market and is making killing in this crisis. They will say that new future Trump Towers will look like toilet paper rolls staked on each other. The Comedy News Network will do Punch and Judy routines on TV bashing Trump with a rolls of toilet paper. Yes, despite the craven insanity, CNN is diabolical. If you want the hottest lies from Hell this is the place.
Like most liberal ‘elite’ groups the CNN thugs are probably owned in some way by the Chinese. “Citizens of the World” my ass — more like traitors to their own country AND on the take.
For example:

Stop it! this is the Tom Brady of Flus, it’s Novel don’t you know? It’s more deadly 10x more deadly than AIDS, SARS, H1N1, we have NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE! It’s much more destructive, cancer can’t hold Hong Kong Flueys jock. The effects will be felt to civilizations out to the outer rim of the galaxy. Tablets unearthed 1000 years in the Dead Sea from now will still on the surface contain this deadly plaque to kill other civilizations. God has no power over it, he just lost control, it is more powerful than him. You are just stupid and ignorant and a heartless conspiracy theorist bag of squirrel testicles.
Well duh. MSM has crushed the best economy history. The fact that if this was March of 2012 none of this would be happening just adds to the frustration.
This is only relevant to the question about who gets hanged first after this is all over.
