@CNN hits peak stupid, taps @GretaThunberg for #COVID19 panel

From the YGBFKM department comes this…this…thing. No words.

Beyond parody: CNN taps Greta Thunberg for expert coronavirus panel
by Brad Polumbo, Washington Examiner

The brave, hard-hitting journalists over at CNN are hosting a town hall Thursday evening on Coronavirus: Facts and Fears. Our First Amendment warriors are only bringing viewers the best of experts, such as former CDC Director Richard Besser, former HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, and … teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg.

You literally cannot make this stuff up. This would be a masterful parody. It could have been one of the Babylon Bee’s finest works. Yet no, this is actually the reality of CNN in 2020.

The same liberal journalists who have scolded people for so much as questioning the wisdom of the federal government’s top coronavirus experts, such as Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx, are now literally telling people to get their scientific analysis from Greta Thunberg.

I think people are scared shitless that clueless adults listen to her like mindless zombies and we have to interact with those same adults to craft policy and a civilization built on more than unicorn farts.

If you don’t understand that, than you don’t understand why she’s been put out there in the first place.

You poor looney..

Take off your Greta worship robes and Greta-blessed worry beads.

She is nothing but an nil-educated child, it is no wonder you look up to her.

They need to keep Greta in the public eye, lest Greta Inc. runs out of money.

This is CNN: Because when I’m in need of factual, scientific and actionable information regarding a global pandemic, I want to hear it from a teenage high school dropout.

But science??? Greta knows all obviously because she is passionate about a cause- never mind the cause is a giant fraud invented by the likes of Maurice Strong as a front for extreme socialism. Never mind that and “how dare you question my authority as a high school dropout with ASD.”
The fact that anyone would listen is very sad indeed.
The fact that her parents and others are using her as a Hitler youth is despicable, if not criminal.

Ratings….

How many here would watch it just for the slo-mo train wreck it will be?

I’d be tempted!

YGBFKM – I love it! Much better than WTF!

Paul, who had the very best Jewish legal training, wrote nearly two thousand years ago: When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.

This is precisely why people, who ought to have gained some wisdom with age, should not be foolish enough to follow those who are ignorant about real life and responsibility.

CNN’s polls must have showed that only 83% of children were sufficiently frightened about the pandemic, so they’re bringing in the big guns to crank it up to the full 100%.

I STRONGLY disagree.
There is no limit on how stupid CNN can become.

I was hoping for Hannah Montana.

She can’t finish school but she is an expert in anything she lays her eyes on. I once read the creation myth of the Sung dynasty in North Korea. It’s written there that as a small child Kim Jong Il astounded his professors and they begged to be educated by his brilliant mind. He instantly became the best expert worldwide in anything that struck his fancy and grown academics just marveled at the brilliance of a small child. Is she the reincarnation of Kim Jong (superhuman) Il?

Well it seems mocktons drivel about lockdowns has finally stopped here as billions of people are now unemployed dying from unattended other conditions around the earth. Mr Mockton stick to climate you know nothing about viruses I do have 4 degrees in the area there is peak as occurred in Sweden and other countries in in billions of younger people and goes away. Stay away from viruses and stick to you maths. Britain is self immolating in incredible stupidity. I have no respect for anything medical coming from this miserable island anymore. BTW I was born in Ireland which is a more miserable place gald I left these miserable cold islands 60 years ago cheers

Nobody is watching anyway. CNN’s ratings have tanked.

May 13, 2020 3:24 pm

Why not Greta? Her mental ability exceeds that of any of the other three.

May 13, 2020 3:38 pm

In Sweden they have Johan Gieseche, Anders Tegnell and some others great scientists who could give a very interesting and factual insight on this epidemic, as far as it can be from fear and idioty.

So CNN invited Greta.

Well, this could be dangerous. Greta is mighty good at giving impassioned speeches from scripts but, if she is sitting on a panel and has to answer real questions in real time, she could fumble. Remember how Ronald Reagans’ handlers were careful never to put him in a situation where he would have to respond to unexpected questions? Same thing might apply here.

My guess is that Greta Thunberg is just about the most sheltered teenager on the planet Earth. No one can get near here who is not devoted to propping up her sense of herself as a noble savior and a savant. When I was seventeen, anybody who wanted to tell me I was a fool was so allowed, which is why I became (marginally) less foolish as I got older.

Incidentally, should anyone here wish to tell me I’m an idiot, fire away. I am now wise enough with age to understand that you might be right.

Greta would be a good fit to head the W.H.O.
Or the UN?
She’s so inspiring.

At least Greta won’t have to sail across the Atlantic this time.

I bet she is really going to add to the dialogue. Just kidding.

A Greta Thunberg song for better singers than myself:- The tune is to Dayenu, that very catchy Jewish Passover song. Apologies to any Jews who might take offence. If you are that prissy/sissy, stop reading now and grow up. Jewish readers can sing it to themselves since we were deprived of Passover this year. I have done a version for YouTube which will be uploaded soon.

The song should appeal to Jewish climate skeptics. A bet might be placed if a certain well respected and well known Jewish climate scientist likes it.

12 years is all we’ve got
Chasing profit-lost the plot
Took my childhood
And my future
How dare you

Found on a doorstep sobbing loudly
Found by an agent that was bullshit
No to flying’
Yes to lying
How dare you.

How how dare you
How how dare you
How how dare you, how dare you how dare you.How dare you
How, how dare you,how how dare you.
How how dare you
(as the Monty Python foot or equivalent strikes) We’ve all had enough.
Background voices after Greta squashed-Go back to school you spoiled brat. You can’t see CO2. You’re being used-used like a piece of toilet paper.

Just confirmation of the quality and credibility of CNN as a news organisation and also the depth of its management talent.

Former CDC Director Richard Besser, former HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. The key word is former. They are nothing more that armchair quarter backs. The would of, should of, could of guys.
