In an attempt to pressure CNN into airing the White House task force briefings in full, Vice President Mike Pence& #39;s office is declining to allow the country& #39;s top health officials to appear on the network https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/09/media/pence-office-tv-bookings-coronavirus/index.html">https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/0...
Dr. Fauci, for instance, appeared on previous CNN town halls with @andersoncooper and @drsanjaygupta. Pence& #39;s office has now refused to make him, or anyone, available for Thursday& #39;s town hall. https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/09/media/pence-office-tv-bookings-coronavirus/index.html">https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/0...
Meanwhile, as the White House blocks the nation& #39;s top health officials from appearing on CNN, Trump continues in his attempts to legitimize a tiny channel known for promoting right-wing conspiracy theories. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1248266439582244866">https://twitter.com/realDonal...
Update: Pence& #39;s office has now reversed their position. After this story was published, CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield was booked for CNN& #39;s Thursday night coronavirus town hall. Dr. Fauci was also booked for Friday on "New Day." https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/09/media/pence-office-tv-bookings-coronavirus/index.html">https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/0...
