CNN has published a report from the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) about how much better the Chinese military is handling the coronavirus pandemic than the Americans are.
The network sourced a report from China’s English PLA website in their article that claimed “Chinese naval flotilla headed into the Pacific over the weekend, evidence that the People’s Liberation Army Navy has done a much better job controlling coronavirus than the US Navy.”
The Daily Caller noted that major portions of CNN’s uncritical report are nearly identical to the propaganda in the PLA press release.
“The report said that the Chinese carrier was carrying out this operation while four US Navy aircraft carriers — the USS Theodore Roosevelt, the USS Ronald Reagan, the USS Carl Vinson and the USS Nimitz — have reported cases of coronavirus, crimping their operations,” CNN wrote, mirroring the PLA release.
CNN even quoted the PLA discussing how great of a job they are doing.
“‘Through the voyage, the Liaoning showed that the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has done a great job in the epidemic prevention and control work and COVID-19 epidemic has not had an impact on its deployment and operations,’” the story says, citing Xu Guangyu, a senior adviser to the China Arms Control and Disarmament Association,” CNN wrote. “‘It showed that the PLA can dispatch troops stationed anywhere at any time, with the troops always maintaining vigorous combat capabilities. The Chinese people can always count on them,’ Xu is quoted as saying.”
I guess that’s what passes for “investigative journalism” for CNN; just ask the communist Chinese military. Known for their honesty.

@retire05: We fund the lab but can’t have doctors there during the outbreak to study it? That is unaccountable agencies and big government out of control. It’s money laundering; where the money goes no one can tell. Yet another reason to reelect Trump and have this crap cleaned up.
Communists sure stick together, don’t they? At least as long they are useful to each other then it’s all bets are off. See the Bolsheviks and Mensheviks as one example.
CNN has never ever been for t he truth its all about pushing a liberal leftists agenda and the plans of the Globalists and the UN as well CNN is nothing but leftists propaganda like the rest of the M.S. Media is
