Fredo Stages Weird ‘Official’ Emergence From His Basement

It's not been a good few days for the media sideshow formerly known as "Most Trusted Name in News".  First we had the media hall monitor, Tater Stelter, losing his sh*t and crying in his pillow, then we hear Brook Baldwin is in dark places with severe mascara withdrawals, they totally blew the whole Korean Fat Kid is Dead thing, and now we find Fredo Cuomo gets caught faking his heroic emergence from the dankness of his prime-time televised basement solitary confinement.

According to The Federalist,  the CNN anchor dramatically staged a post-coronavirus emergence from his basement on Monday’s Fredo Prime Time, falsely implying the footage captured the “official” first moment he left his basement quarantine. But as we have learned, believing anything on CNN is kinda like believing in fairies.

Just last week on his radio show the brother of New York’s governor (Cuomo the Elder) complained about the downsides of his high-profile CNN gig. As the New York Post reported "Fredo then launched into a tale about a ‘loser biker’ who confronted him on Easter Sunday for being outside his property with his family despite his coronavirus diagnosis.” Fredo's staged emergence came after the  journalist talking head, discussed prior travels from his home, rendering Monday’s video report misleading at best and an outright lie at worst.

In the footage aired by “Fredo Prime Time,” the anchor ascended a staircase claiming, “Alright, here it is, the official reentry from the basement. Cleared by CDC, little sweaty, just worked out, it happens. This is what I’ve been dreaming of, literally for weeks.” 

So, Fredo was diagnosed with the virus on March 31. He left his home to visit another property on April 12, at least a 30-minute drive from his home and flouting his own brother’s “essential travel” guidelines. April 20, he aired “the official reentry” from his basement on CNN. That’s the definition of Fake News. These are facts. CNN might call them apples. They indisputably amount to false coverage. They should raise the ire of media defenders. (But they won’t.)

To be clear, as far as CNN falsehoods go, this one isn’t the worst. Yet the weird attempt to revise Cuomo the Younger's personal history remains a glistening example of why the apple-versus-banana channel has serious credibility problems. The same people who rant daily about alleged lies from the White House twist facts to suit their own narratives.

The Plastic Face Lady - "How Dare They Defy My Diktats".

Frau Whitmer (D-Michigan) She Will Punish You.

Jobs are being destroyed, mortgages are in arrears, businesses have closed and many will never re-open. If there’s one thing that’s becoming increasingly obvious about the coronavirus lockdown, it’s that some people are getting really, really sick of it.  The last few days have been rife with protests, as people across the country let their governors know how they feel.  Onerous shutdowns are going to have to end soon or we’re going to be facing genuine social disorder and economic collapse.  Nowhere is this more obvious than in Michigan.

Over the weekend, protests erupted in Lansing, and the Governor, Frau Whitmer, is none too pleased that her Michiganders have dared defy her quarantine diktats and her Bizarro-World definitions of “essential” and “non-essential."  Appearing on conspiracy central's Rickey Maddow show, she deflected the protests as nothing more than political rallies.  Because of them, she claims she may need to punish the state by extending her lockdown order. *Clicks Heels* 

It's weird how leftists only seem to call protests “political rallies” when they target Democrats.  If the exact same protest had been aimed at a Republican governor, it would have been portrayed as a brave display of resistance, or “the highest form of patriotism.” And It’s unclear whether Whitmer genuinely believes her random proclamations about “non-essential” goods, services and activities are really helping the situation, or if she’s just playing to her party in pursuit of the vice presidency.  What is clear is that her state is getting sick of her. The recall petition has picked up steam.

Fair or not, she’s become an avatar for the worst sort of capricious, nanny-state tyrant.  Whatever goodwill she enjoyed outside of Detroit and Lansing is quickly evaporating, and the anti-Whitmer voices are only getting louder.  Expect that to be accelerated by the punitive notion that you are kids in the back seat got noisy, and the grown-ups are angry.  Your betters apparently think you may need to be punished. In fact, they might just turn the state right around and keep you trapped in your homes for another month or so.  Don’t think they won’t do it, either.

Coming Soon to CNN & MSNBC

Cable news networks are running out of "experts" to repeatedly appear and politicize the Chinese coronavirus,  and the likes of Don Lemon, Chris Hayes or Squinty & Meat Puppet will soon be dragging people like this out of the subway for round-table panelist.

Pretty Much Why the Media is Useless in the Age of the Chinese Coronavirus.....

Here's a few notes I've scribbled down over the past days from my nest in the love seat about the present apocalypse as conveyed to us by the many soft skull geniuses at CNN & MSNBC:

We're told not to leave the house for any reason. But if you have to, then you can.  Masks are useless, but maybe you should have to wear one, it can save you, but it is probably useless otherwise, but maybe it should be mandatory as well.  You should not go to hospitals unless you have to go there. Same applies to doctors, you should only go there in case of emergency, provided you are not too sick.

Animals are not affected, but there is still a cat that tested positive in Belgium in February when no one had been tested, plus a few tigers here and there.  You will have many symptoms when you are sick, but you can also get sick without symptoms, have symptoms without being sick, or be contagious without having symptoms. In order not to get sick, you have to eat well and exercise, but eat whatever you have on hand and it’s better not to go out, well, but no…

This virus is deadly but still not too scary, except that sometimes these things actually leads to a global disaster.  Everyone needs to stay HOME, but it’s important to GO OUT.  There is no shortage of groceries in the supermarket, but there are many things missing when you go there in the evening, but not in the morning. Sometimes.

It’s better to get some fresh air, but you will get looked at as very wrong when you get some fresh air, and most importantly, you don’t go to parks or walk.  If you do go, don’t sit down, except that you can do that now if you are old, but not for too long or if you are pregnant (but not too old). If you are sick, you can’t go out, but you can go to the pharmacy.

You can get restaurant food delivered to the house, which may have been prepared by people who didn’t wear masks or gloves. But you have to have your groceries decontaminated outside for 3 hours. Every disturbing article or disturbing interview starts with “ I don’t want to trigger panic, but…” The virus remains active on different surfaces for two hours, no, four, no, six, no, we didn’t say hours, maybe days? But it takes a damp environment. Oh no, not necessarily.

The virus stays in the air - well no, or yes, maybe, especially in a closed room, in one hour a sick person can infect ten, so if it falls, all our children were already infected at school before it was closed. But remember, if you stay at the recommended social distance, however in certain circumstances you should maintain a greater distance, which, studies show, the virus can travel further, maybe.

We have no treatment, except that there may be one or two  medications that apparently are not dangerous unless you take to much and has been prescribed for decades, but we cannot use it because someone might experience side-effects, or even get sick.

We should stay locked up until the virus disappears, but it will only disappear if we achieve collective immunity.  We count the number of deaths but we don’t know how many people are infected as we have only tested so far those who were “almost dead” to find out if that’s what they will die of…and in NYC they are cooking the books by adding 3700 more deaths to their total even though they were never tested and only presumed to have died from coronavirus.

Orangeman Bad.    

Joe Went off the Teleprompter Again......

Joe Biden appeared this morning with his wife on MSNBC’s Squinty & Meat Puppet in the Morning, famous for questioning Trump’s mental health. Meanwhile, they are hosting this word salad without even a question of Biden’s inability to function. He attempts to share an anecdote that turns into something so foreign that you’d think he’s speaking a different language. The stuttering, the losing his train of thought, the slurring of his words, and the inability to make any sense are all readily apparent. Jill Biden just sits there, obviously realizing how badly he’s doing.

No one around him seems to want to end this buffoonish charade. Lady MacBeth Jill Biden, REALLY wants to be First Lady and looks like she’s in on it.

Lo, Such Rebellious Subjects We Have Become!!

It seems pockets of the Spirit of  '76 live on in the former British colony of Maryland, in particularly the township of Taneytown, founded 1754, where police are having to warn subjects against indulging in certain forms of civil disobedience. The Taneytown Police took to their official facebook page to remind the cabin fever weary citizens of proper lawful procedures when inquiring into the contents of their mailboxes in this time of pandemic.

"Give me liberty, or give me death!" is live and well in Taneytown, and the citizens took to the police facebook page and had a real good time with it.  1K comments last time I looked.

Barky Obama Reminds Us He's Still a D**k Head

After months of speculation, Barky O' has finally endorsed his former VP in his bid for the White House. It was a brave move considering everyone else has dropped out and no one else to endorse. In an excruciatingly long 12-minute endorsement, the 44th President says that making Biden his “vice president was one of the best decisions I ever made” and that he “has all the qualities we need in a president right now.” He did it with a straight face too. 

He tried to reassure Bernie’s socialist soft skull minions by saying, “Joe already has what is the most progressive platform of any major party nominee in modern history.” That may be news to Biden, but I'm sure someone will tell him if they ever unlock the basement door. 

And of course Barky couldn't leave it at the endorsement at hand and show the dignity in his words former presidents are accustomed to showing, he had to prove he is still a giant dick.

“One thing everybody has learned by now is that the Republicans occupying the White House and running the US Senate are not interested in progress. They’re interested in power… They’ve given polluters unlimited power to poison our air and our water… The other side has a massive warchest. The other side has a propaganda network with little regard for the truth.”

There may have been only one thing he said that I can agree with: “Our country’s future hangs on this election.”
