Twitter users accused station of poor taste and making light of serious issue

Ebola has killed nearly 4,500 people and triggered a global health crisis

CNN staff have been accused of making light of the deadly Ebola outbreak by posing for a photo while larking around with two men dressed in Hazmat suits.

Twitter users accused the three New Day anchors of mocking the Ebola crisis after CNN senior producer John Griffin posted the picture on social media.

In the photo, Chris Cuomo, Michaela Pereira and Alisyn Camerota pretend to be scared, with exaggerated shocked expressions, while two men in protective gear stand over them.

People have noticed that the one moonsuited guy looks like he’s giving Cuomo the bird, right?

[all the best]

It's CNN that's a joke.

Enjoy Barack Obama Legacy America

[V_TWIN]

OMG, the one guy is flipping the bird! Holy cow, unbelievable.

[Veggie Todd]

I think the tall one with the mask on is John Kerry.

[Cowboy Bob]

These people are making light of the situation because they know that Obama can put a stop to things - when he wants to. Right now, the liberals are trying to milk the situation for all they can. Once they have achieved their goal, the Ebola crisis will be resolved. Notice that Obama put a political hack in charge.

[Red Badger]

Yeah, it’s all fun and games until somebody starts coughing.......................

[maggief]

John Kerry flying commercial.

[McGruff]

Bet Alisyn Camerota wishes she was still at FNC right now.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

I wouldn’t even care that much about the picture...except that CNN is full of hypocritical douchebags that spew phony outrage over anything....

[Christie at the beach]

Alisyn Camerota worked at FoxNews. What’s her problem?

I would not make fun of this virus in anyway. Too many have died. It’s not poor taste; it is unprofessional what they did here.

We have reached critical mass of fools in charge.. this is finally going to blow

These people are crass...and, IMHO, evil. They believe they can say anything and it will be accepted as they proceed with the destruction of this nation.

Yesterday, I heard Dr. Gil Molby on the radio today. He is a board certified, trained emergency trauma physician with three decades of acute care experience. He currently practices medicine in Springfield, MO and Seattle, WA. In his home town of Springfield, he was voted Springfield’s Best Physician Comments about him inlcued, “He’s a doctor known by most people for his daily radio program where he often tackles topics that trigger water cooler chatter,” and “He’s a Dav...id in the world of medical Goliath’s.” Currently he is passionately involved in the Ebola outbreak and its potential dire consequences if not handled and addressed properly.

He has been warning for weeks that the potential for a major outbreak in the United states is much more possible than we are being told, and that this administration’s current practise on dealing with the disease, their statements on how it spreads, and on the administrtion not seeking to quarantine the outbreak to West Afirca with travel restrictions and closures is almost assuring that a far worse outbreak will occur. Right now, Dr. Molbey could be characterized as leading the fight to insist on full disclosure by the CDC, and protect American citizens on American soil and abroad from this dangerous disease.

Today he indicated that he spoke with a well known and respected Epidemiologist whom he aksed how we might go about preventing a major spread to the United States at this point. Dr. Molbey indicated that this individual, soberly replied, “Gil, I fear it is already too late to do so.”

Dr. Molby has set up a site on the web called, “Surviving Ebola.” I urge all my family, loved ones, friends and neighbors to go there and educate yourself on how to be as best prepared as possible in the event of a major outbreak across this nation. I pray we can yet avoid it, but being prepared is the best course of action. Also...I urge everyone to pray to God in Heaven for His help. Please visit this site and learn how to protect yourself and others, from getting Ebola, and what you can do in your everyday life to limit the possibility of coming in contact with this deadly disease

...larking around with two men dressed in Hazmat suits.

It appears the folks who watch CNN are not as open-minded about other people's sexual preferences as I had been led to believe.

[morphing libertarian]

CNN and MSNBC your TV sources for low-information voting.

[I still care]

The left is making light of Ebola because they believe it is a manufactured crisis to damage Obama.

Ebola, ISIS, the murdered Christians, the IRS scandal, Benghazi - these are not “important”. They are fake crisis’s designed to stop the implementation of Obama’s agenda. Several times during the past week, O’s henchmen have tried to refocus the media on global warming (Hagel) and Immigration and have gotten nowhere because people are rightly focused on more important things, such as the nation’s integrity and defense.

The left is seething.

[GOPJ]

Tacky little ghouls.. Where's the Clinton and McCain daughters?

[Sir Napsalot]

Cute.

Want to see it in a bumper sticker.

Notice right worker has a hazmat suit that leaves the neck uncovered. That was what the nurses in Dallas were highlighting as a fault in the PPE. Fluids could be splattered on the neck and come in contact with the face following removal of the mask.
