A lot of people are asking if this is a joke but in reality: this is CNN. The fake news network is holding a coronavirus town hall with a panel of experts and one of those experts is teenage global warming kook Greta Thunberg. You may be thinking, “Gee, that angry weirdo isn’t an expert on anything, let alone COVID-19, what gives?” As was already mentioned, this is CNN, the world leader in fake news and silly bullshit. It would actually be more strange if they didn’t include her on a coronavirus panel.
Look, this is a real thing:
Former acting CDC director Richard Besser, former HHS secretary Kathleen Sebelius and activist Greta Thunberg join @AndersonCooper & @DrSanjayGupta for a live #CNNTownHall. Coronavirus – Facts and Fears, Thursday at 8 p.m. ET pic.twitter.com/I4FrXgwaL6

I’m guessing they will be mostly playing up the “fear” aspect of the coronavirus. In fact, judging by Thunberg’s unhinged apocalyptic speech before the U.N., that CNN is bringing her on to simply scare the shit out of all 5 people who watch this thing.
I have a couple more predictions about her appearance:
1. Thunberg will blame the coronavirus on global warming.
2. Thunberg will claim the only way to beat the coronavirus is by stopping global warming.
Okay, here’s a bonus prediction:
3. CNN host Anderson Cooper will agree 100% with every piece of nonsense that comes out of Thunberg’s mouth.
Obvious a lot of people think CNN touting an autistic teenager with no expertise in anything as an expert on viral pandemics is the fakest news of all time. Now worries, CNN’s Oliver Darcy explains it all in this exchange with conservative writer Ben Shapiro:
CNN is featuring Greta Thunberg on an “expert panel on covid-19,” so maybe CNN should sit this one out https://t.co/5l48X3OzXV

she is donating $100,000 (money she was awarded) to help kids affected by coronavirus! it’s not like she’s being brought on as a medical expert https://t.co/85YoXVcaur

She’s not an expert on anything. Bill Gates is donating millions to develop a vaccine, and he actually knows things about vaccines. If signing checks gets you on CNN as an “expert,” I feel like you’re watering down expertise rather substantially.

And Bill Gates has been on many times. Thunberg is trying to do a good thing by donating time/money to help kids impacted by coronavirus. Not sure why it’s so terrible to highlight that work!

Dude, I didn’t bill this townhall this way. CNN did. pic.twitter.com/ZzKeS7iqno

Special guests: former CDC director, former HHS director, doctor, child.

Plus Hollywood has-been Rosanna Arquette thinks Thunberg is a fine coronavirus expert:
She’s a Leader in climate change and works with scientists world wide. Pandemics will be a way of life until we address climate change seriously once and for all. She’s a wise sage. Smarter than any of the idiots running this country.

Full disclosure: Rosanna Arquette initially blamed the coronavirus on the Jews, so maybe she’s not the expert to pick the experts that she thinks she is.
CNN is in a constant fit over President Trump referring to them as “fake news.” Holding a coronavirus town hall and adding Greta Thunberg as an expert is the exact wrong way to get the President or the people to start looking at them as real news. It also ain’t a great way to get the people to look at them at all.
