Somebody Slipped A Question About Trump Derangement Syndrome Into CNN Town Hall

CNN hosted a virtual town hall on the coronavirus pandemic that included a viewer question about a disease that does not appear in medical journals. But it is a malady that affects many in the mainstream media.  The question from a viewer was about Trump Derangement Syndrome. TDS CNN

As Anderson Cooper, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, and CDC Director Robert Redfield answered questions from viewers, CNN’s on-screen graphics at one point included a question about TDS.

While it wasn’t actually addressed, seeing a question about Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) appear as the bottom of the screen chyron on the least trusted name in media is pretty amusing. “Is Stage 4 TDS considered an underlying morbidity?” the question reads.

Check it out:

CNN, along with a vast swath of the mainstream media have at times been accused of TDS, a condition marked by such deep hatred and resentment of the president that it causes one to lash out by randomly lying, quoting statements out of context, or even accusing Trump of wanting to murder people. CNN has been in Stage 4 TDS since Trump announced he was running.

Another textbook case of the ailment can be seen in Washington Post “conservative” columnist Jennifer Rubin.

As for CNN, the network was on the receiving end of quite a bit of mockery for being unable to identify an obvious joke about TDS and keeping it from airing.

“I feel bad for whoever let this one slip through,” said former CNN Digital Producer Steve Krakauer.

Let’s just hope somebody at that network finds a cure and finds it fast. Maybe then one day they’ll see their ratings improve and they can be respected as an actual source of news again.
