Mike Pence’s office punishes CNN for refusing to air his portion of coronavirus briefing

Vice President Mike Pence has kept the nation’s top health officials from appearing on CNN since the network stopped carrying the daily coronavirus briefings in their entirety.

The vice president’s office, which is responsible for booking those officials to deliver pandemic information, told CNN that Dr. Deborah Birx or Dr. Anthony Fauci would not be permitted to appear on the network until it carries the briefings, including Pence’s remarks, in full.

2. Abuse of power. Quel surprise.

They should appoint surrogates who carry their message and let him try to shut that down.

3. why are they still showing up?

if all the news organization just didn't show up what will we miss...nothing...trump and pence and their ass-kissing lackeys are not newsworthy so why are the reporters asking questions that are never going to get answered and if by chance there is an answer it's a series of word salad lies?...is it a badge of honor to be insulted and threatened?..

4. No one cares Mike

You and tRump have nothing to say. Americans have now turned to some of our nations best governors for important information. We no longer need you.

5. Time for the media outlets to unite

When this crap happens to one of them, it sets a precedent that it could happen to any of them.

They ALL should get access. If they don't ALL get access, they should refuse to show up.

7. They can only punish them if they agree to it

It is past time for CNN and MSNBC and other networks to stop airing the moronic press briefings altogether. Some people like watching the train wreck but most do not get anything useful from them. I turn them off and I wish everyone would so it sends a forceful message to the networks to STOP. If either or any of the executives for any of these networks have the balls to stop airing, they will have my loyal viewership.
