CNN mocked for bringing actor Sean Penn on to discuss how to handle coronavirus crisis

56

CNN’s downward spiral continues. What would have prompted CNN into bringing Sean Penn onto their network, to give people advice on how to handle the Coronavirus? How is Sean Penn qualified? It’s hard to imagine that CNN was at one time the industry standard for cable news. How does Jeff Zucker keep his job?

CNN mocked for bringing actor Sean Penn on to discuss how to handle coronavirus crisis

I know when things are going haywire in my life, I always turn to Sean Penn for advice.

CNN invited actor Sean Penn on their show to discuss what should be done in the midst of a “crisis” like the one we’re facing now with the coronavirus. Apparently Jeff Spicoli is the go-to guy in a time of national crisis. Who knew?

Needless to say, both CNN and Sean Penn got mocked and ridiculed something fierce by Twitter users, and I have to say, the comments were pretty darn funny:

“CNN bringing in crisis expert Sean Penn.  What the hell is wrong with this network?”

Story continues below advertisement
“yeah….like, “i just found out that I have multiple STDs and i’m wondering, what does Sean take for his?””

“Actor Sean Penn, famous for tying Madonna to a chair and beating her is here to tell us how to control society…”

Sean Penn. Sean Penn. I was thinking, who in the hayull is Sean Penn? Then, I remembered a movie that I have not seen, but HAVE seen some of its “clips”. It hit me, “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”. THAT Sean Penn.

Yep. THAT Sean Penn. The actor, who has always been so ‘put upon’ by the paparazzi for the last 30 years and is perpetually angry. The actor who thinks he can lecture all of us on what is best for us. Sean Penn, is proof positive money can’t make you happy. He could easily just have shut up and lived on an island quietly for the rest of his life. Trump needs to open up a denaturalization office, so people like Sean Penn can be fast-tracked out of their citizenship and out of the U.S. Immediately!

Harkening back to “Titanic” must be his frame of reference and he views the coronavirus hysteria as akin to an iceberg.

Using the newest statistics for the US of 25,493 cases and 307 deaths, the mortality rate is a paltry 1.2%.

Needlessly at that. I’m sure that big pharm knows that chloroquine will kick influenza. The problem is they can’t patent it so they design a different drug that they can patent and they design in side effects that require more patent drugs. We can’t let their stock holders down can we?

Who next? AOC as medical expert? Joe Biden as medical expert? How about Louis Farrakhan as medical expert? Andrew Gillum as medial expert? A real doctor? Naw. Besides, would a credible health professional really want to be seen on CNN?

CNN president’s 15-year-old son resigns from board of directors after scandal
8 Aug, 2013 20:09 /

The 15-year-old son of CNN president Jeff Zucker was given a leadership position at New Jersey senatorial candidate Cory Booker’s tech startup. The teen abruptly resigned after news broke about what critics considered an “inappropriate” arrangement.

Andrew Zucker, the teenage son of CNN’s president, was working an odd job for children his age. He received stock options from a tech startup called Waywire in exchange for serving on the company’s advisory board.

Others on the board include Twitter Vice President Katie Stanton, journalist and Open Web advocate Jeff Jarvis, AOL executive Susan Lyne, and former FEC commissioner Trevor Potter. The teen, however, was hired not for his experience – but for his apparent insight into popular trends among children his age.

Just when you thought CNN couldn’t get any worse!! Their ability to reach new lows for credibility knows no bounds. Next, CNN will bring on “wild” Whoopi Goldberg to discuss Einstein’s theory of relativity! Their management personnel should be randomly “drug tested” throughout the day.

I’m always amazed that their elite actor/actress/producer/media mogul BUBBLE that they live in, leaves them so completely unaware how often they completely embarrass themselves and continually reinforce the large majority of American’s opinion that they’re all, stupid, out-of-touch ASSHATS.
