Take a number…
What makes you think I’m upset? It’s all about the irony.
You and many other posters seem upset with CNN. 
( if anything that segment–making a lot of the same arguments posters here do–just shows its all about WHO is making the comments, not the content for some. )

Video evidence. No surprise with 60 Minutes:

In a statement, Democrat Palm Beach County Mayor Dave Kerner described the 60 Minutes as “intentionally false” and that the news program declined his “insight.”
Kerner wrote:
I watched the 60 Minutes segment on Palm Beach County last night and feel compelled to issue this statement. The reporting was not just based on bad information – it was intentionally false. I know this because I offered to provide my insight into Palm Beach County’s vaccination efforts and 60 minutes [sic] declined. They know that the Governor came to Palm Beach County and met with me and the County Administrator and we asked to expand the state’s partnership with Publix to Palm Beach County. We also discussed our own local plans to expand mass vaccination centers throughout the county, which the Governor has been incredibly supportive. We asked and he delivered. They had that information, and they left it out because it kneecaps their narrative.
“We have confronted this pandemic for over a year,” continued Kerner. “Our residents, like all Americans, are tired. And the media is making it worse. They are hellbent on dividing us for cheap views and clicks. 60 Minutes should be ashamed.”
Kerner is the second Democrat to support DeSantis.
60 Minutes has been doing this kind of scummy editing for decades. No news here. So glad to see them get caught. But, who will actually SEE this? Meh…

Quillette Duped by Left-Wing Hoaxer Posing as Communist Construction Worker (thedailybeast.com)
Quillette Duped by Left-Wing Hoaxer Posing as Communist Construction Worker
“Archie Carter,” who pretended to be a blue-collar member of the Democratic Socialists of America, says he set out to humiliate the conservative site with his error-riddled story.
Construction worker and avowed Leninist Archie Carter has plenty of gripes with the Democratic Socialists of America, the left-wing group that’s enjoyed a new wave of popularity during the Trump era.
In an essay published Thursday on the conservative op-ed website Quillette, Carter declared that DSA had been overrun with overeducated, oversensitive college graduates, blinding itself to the true needs of the working class.
“DSA is doomed,” Carter wrote.
Carter’s piece seemed like exactly the kind of argument that’s turned Quillette, a self-described “platform for free thought,” into a hotbed for the right-wing online “Intellectual Dark Web” movement. Carter had impeccable blue-collar bona fides, with his Quillette bio describing him as a committed union member who’s always “watching the Mets blow a lead.”
But there’s one problem with Carter’s story: He doesn’t exist.
“I wanted to prove the point of the Sokal experiment, which is that they’re ideological actors finding a conclusion regardless of the evidence,” he said. “Because if they actually looked at the evidence, they would’ve rejected what I was fucking saying. So they burned themselves, you know?”
For all the 'commies are taking over the colleges types" out there, this story from a couple years back is just for you.
As The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway detailed yesterday, “60 Minutes” ignored the real scandals engulfing Democratic governors, such as New York’s Andrew Cuomo and California’s Gavin Newsom, to concoct a two-prong “pay to play” falsehood concerning the Republican DeSantis.
“Reporter” Sharyn Alfonsi launched the latest fake-news scandal last month by “reporting” from Palm Beach, Florida that DeSantis was prioritizing vaccination for seniors “because Florida seniors are more likely to be wealthy and white than the rest of the population, or because they’re more likely to vote for him.” The second arm of the conspiracy theory ran that “DeSantis had personally rammed through a decision to use Publix grocery stores for vaccine distribution” because of campaign contributions from the grocery store chain.
Hemingway exposed the facts that establish the longtime news outlet’s segment was nothing but a libelous hit on DeSantis. So what’s DeSantis to do? Sue!
So why is the liberal media so anxious to smear Ron DeSantis?
DeSantis has been a hero throughout the pandemic to people on the right. His stellar instincts have guided Florida to far better results than states like New York, New Jersey, and Michigan, and to approximately the same results as California, all of which favored strict lockdowns that had a destructive effect on their economy.
DeSantis recognized early that lockdowns just weren’t working.
But the media had a different hero in mind: They coronated Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York as their pandemic role model. New York, which had the highest number of COVID deaths per capita, also saw mass death in their nursing homes after Governor Cuomo foolishly ordered homes to re-admit COVID positive patients. Governor Cuomo has also been accused of sexual harassment, and in some cases assault, by ten women, some of whom were current and former employees.
With the media’s hero narrative in tatters, they instead have focused on bringing down the governor who has actually done a good, effective, job during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Do not trust Corporate media.”
Pretty much.
I don’t get the tweet though…what about his mannerisms?
Melber accurately calls out FOX and Hannity for not covering Gaetz. Points out Baby Gaetz was on FOX a ton of times, and that Hannity literally went to campaign for Gaetz.
Obviously we know Hannity isn’t anything close to resembling a journalist, but worth pointing out Gaetz was all over FOX news before, now not only is he not on there, they’re pretending he doesn’t exist. Whoopsie!

Was he on 300+ times, and 120+ on one person’s show?
Did they cover the story?
No, and yes. Try to focus on this topic though.
Also, did anyone from CNN campaign for him?

I’m sure it was in the hundreds, although I wouldn’t be interested in counting. He was all over CNN like a cheap suit.

It’s not really like that at all though. Matt Gaetz is a US congressman and Hannity is a propaganda mouthpiece for the losing major US political party. They are major figures in the GOP. The other guy is a lawyer with minimal political clout or influence. Apples, Oranges etc.

He was on CNN and MSNBC just over 100 times each.
Which is actually irrelevant though. They covered his story, and weren’t his sycophants on the campaign trail.

C’mon he was planning on running for president before his shadiness caught up with him. All the CNN talking heads were begging him to to it.
