Something we have learned about the national media, headlines and content
Posted Wednesday, October 28, 2020, at 9:54 AM
I will let you decide what it is we have learned.
Here is a headline from today's CNN new front page: "White House lists ending Covid-19 as an accomplishment despite cases spiking to record levels."
Within the article you will find these statements:
-
"When asked for comment on including ending the pandemic among the administration's first term accomplishments, office spokeswoman Kristina Baum pointed to the full report. " "the Administration has taken decisive actions to engage scientists and health professionals in academia, industry, and government to understand, treat, and defeat the disease."
-
"The internal report that the news release was describing did not say that the Covid-19 pandemic is over. It merely touted the administration's various actions to fight it."
Have fun with all the reading but with the excerpts quoted from the article, is the headline accurate?
