CNN’s Collins: Media Didn’t Help Shut Down Skepticism, Critical Thinking During COVID
Video Source: CNN Ian Hanchett23 May 202544 1:10 During a portion of an interview with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that was aired on Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Source,” host Kaitlan Collins argued that the media wasn’t involved in shutting down skepticism, critical thinking, and people making their own decisions during the coronavirus pandemic.
Towards the end of the interview, Kennedy stated, “I would say be skeptical of authority. My father told me that when I was a young kid, people in authority lie. And we’ve seen a lot of that in our country. And people in the media lie and people need to make their own judgments and be skeptical and maintain their capacity for critical thinking. And that was shut down during COVID, and the media was complicit in that.”

They have such animosity for Trump, his administration, freedom and truth.
It is physically impossible for the media to cease lying.
CNN literally told us not to do our own research!
In some parts of the Internet she is referred to as Polythene Pam (Beatles reference)
Dylan Mulvaney
Polythene Pam - a very on point reference for her.
The media hasn’t changed much since their butt-whipping last November. They remain a full-fledged propaganda ministry and the enemy of the American people.
....and nobody knew Joe Biden was a rotting bag of oatmeal H/T Dan Bongino....
These people are literally mental and are able to carry on a life of lies as if it were all real and important.
She is a hooker with a mike stuck in her face.
They must live in a different reality that I do.
Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but they are not entitled to their own reality..............................
Apparatchik….your namesake
The Left has poodle-whistles “Debunked” “Fact-check” “Experts”, etc.
What color is the sky in her world?
She does have masculine features.
They vilified anyone who did not take the shot as a science denier and wanting to kill grandma.
I think she is so deep within the liberal cocoon that she does not know any better.
Also, she is not very smart. She has not noticed that the “anti-vaxxers,” “election deniers,” and JFK “conspiracy theorists” are in charge now.
Supporters of liberal orthodoxy just don’t listen. AGW skeptics showed that some weather measurement stations provided misleading data due to urban encroachment. Response, none. Why not announce that those stations were shut down or eliminated from computations?
There were claims that the mRNA jab had not benefitted from animal testing or clinical trials. Response, none. Why not say otherwise or admit the truth?
I think those who are “in the system” and supposedly “in the know” are mediocre thinkers. More exactly, they are not thinkers at all. They leave the thinking to other people.
They do not consider a topic and arguments pertaining to a topic. Instead, they focus on people. Anything Hillary, Obama, or Schumer say is presumed to have merit. Anything Trump or members of his administration say is to be treated with skepticism.
Didn’t help? Please. They vilified and worked to destroy anyone trying to think rationally.
