Rock musician Sean Lennon, the son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, is slamming the news media for its coverage of the coronavirus pandemic, saying that they are spreading Chinese Communist propaganda and engaging in double standards.
Sean Lennon took to Twitter Wednesday to air his frustration with the way journalists are reporting on the global outbreak, especially when it comes to China.
Sean Ono Lennon @seanonolennon
Been listening to ‘respectable’ journalists quoting CCP official numbers for months without doubt or hesitation. Calling it the Wuhan Virus but only days later telling ppl who say it’s from China they’re racist. The official media have lost their legitimacy.
@seanonolennon We live in a time that calling a virus that came from China, Chinese, is racist, (and arguably dangerous for Asians because: morons). Oh, and calling a virus that probably didn’t come from Spain, Spanish, well that makes total sense.

Sean looks a lot like his dad. Like they could be siblings.
Still pissed at Yoko.
Ono, it’s Yoko...
And he’s Asian, half.
Super liberal icon. They’ll write him off.
Imagine that.
Let's not get too excited here. Lennon's altruism here comes from his strong free-Tibet activism. He's no fan of China for sure, but he's very much a lefty.
Julian had a follow-up hit called Too Late For Goodbyes and then faded away.
A shame because I thought he'd have a lot more great songs in him.
Took 25 poses in to get to what I was going to post.
FReepers are slipping...
-—His father also had some wacky political opinions, but every so often, he’d come out with something so clearheaded and blunt that it shocked the hippies. Recall how he told Chairman Mao and all the deluded commies to shove it in “Revolution.”——
You nailed it. He obviously hated Britain’s high taxes, too.
Rumor has it he and Reagan were pretty chummy and really hit it off when they crossed paths during the ‘80 campaign. My own hunch is that had Lennon lived, he would have become less politically left and more eclectic in his old age. Who knows, it’s just a hunch.
He said privately that “Imagine” was “just a song” and it shouldn’t be over-analyzed and turned into some kind of deep anthem. Of course after he died, that’s exactly what happened.
Actually they crossed paths during a Monday Night Football game, Reagan spent a few minutes explaining the rules of American Football to John.
Maybe Yoko will bump him off, like she had John bumped off.
(There, I said it!)
Sean speaks, but it’s Yoko doing the talking.
She’s from a high society Japanese family line.
Similar set up as with Ronan Farrow yapping about child abuse. It’s really Mama Mia spreading her own biased opinion.
Right! Reagan could charm anyone, but John Lennon was more complicated than people give him credit for.
He kinda knew he could be a jerk and a belligerent sh*t, and wasn’t proud of it or anything. My own view is I don’t think he had the same opinions about a lot of things in, say, 1979 as he did in 1969.
I’ve always believed his father would have eventually called bs on the entire left wing platform. At least I hoped so.
You’ll note....the comments are turned off.
And Yoko couldn't have that, plus she was still mad at John for the affair he had a few years earlier.
Where’s the Redd Foxx giff?
So talented!!
