CNN on Friday made sure its viewers knew not to inject bleach to protect themselves from covid-19. In multiple segments, the network’s hosts denounced President Trump’s unfathomably dumb remarks from Thursday evening about covid-19 treatments involving disinfectant and light. Host Anderson Cooper was unmerciful regarding the White House’s shifting explanations for those remarks: It first blamed the media for taking them out of context; Trump later explained that they were merely sarcastic comments aimed at reporters.
