Vice President Mike Pence's office has declined to allow the nation's top health officials to appear on CNN in recent days and discuss the coronavirus pandemic killing thousands of Americans.

Trump makes 86 false claims over two weeks, including whoppers about Bloomberg, Pelosi and Social SecurityPence's office, which is responsible for booking the officials on networks during the pandemic, said it will only allow experts such as Dr. Deborah Birx or Dr. Anthony Fauci to appear on CNN if the network televises the portion of the White House briefings that includes the vice president and other coronavirus task force members.

"When you guys cover the briefings with the health officials then you can expect them back on your air," a Pence spokesperson told CNN.Fauci, Birx, FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn and Surgeon General Jerome Adams have all appeared on NBC, CBS, ABC and Fox during the last week, despite the fact that the broadcast networks have generally not covered the briefings that have included the vice president and health officials.

In times of world war against coronavirus there are some not so popular decisions that have to be taken.

Dictatorship covering up your ignorance

MazzPuck Just change the channel.

What's he so afraid of?

Disgusting

😂😂😂

Trump invented Ice Cream!

November can’t come soon enough 😔

Good! You decline to air the press conferences you hacks.

Watch the Presidents Virus TF briefing daily and you can hear the experts. CNN should run the Virus TF briefings but does not because they do not want the American people to hear information right from all the sources. Because CNN can’t put a fake spin on what is said.

Cry me a river....

This is disgusting and totally unacceptable to not allow a public official to give an interview because the Trump cronies want Cnn to show the entire joke of a press conference.

Time to quit covering the daily propaganda sessions with Trump and Pence.

I am not surprised if I am listening to the liar Amanpour.

This is autocratism at its best. Government deciding what can be aired on the news network?

This is another act of hiding the truth from the American people!! That's also against freedom of speech!!!

COVIDー19 realDonaldTrump VP

what’s the freedom?what’s the human rights?

Because you'll twist their words or edit it to fit your Fake News agenda or just flat out lie. You'll do something underhanded to make it look like they said something they didn't. Just stick to the lowlife guests you usually have on. Stop trying. You're Fake News!

Good for nothing CNN moves from trump to pence.

The incompetence of Pence’s efforts in coordinating the US Coronavirus Rescue efforts are extraordinary ineffective, and Trump’s daily TV press rallies are a complete embarrassment.

VP is such a great man! He gave the useless network, , exactly what they deserve! I celebrate and applaud you sir!

CNN=CcpNewsNetwork

This is his newest revised version of freedom of speech and press, all being quarantined for the safety of endangered America under besieging of COVID19 pandemic, keep quiet is the best policy to pay respect to the virus, please have mercy to Americans. Lord may bless America.

30 Days to Slow the Spread... of Potentially Damaging Information.

you guys are chicken crap they should be able to talk on CNN so we can get the truth cuz we're not getting it from you Mike Pence are your buddy Donald Trump

It is too bad when the Vice President, an uber religious person and self proclaimed Christian spends his days deceiving and lying to the people of this country!! Wonder how he lives with himself?

Disclaimer: I don’t like Trump or Pence. I didn’t vote for Trump and actively campaigned against him... However: I don’t blame Pence for doing this. You guys are acting like douche bags

Somebody needs to let DensePence out of his self-loathing closet? Mother ? SecondLady Mike_Pence Covidiots PenceOwnsEveryDeath GOP2CORRUPT2LEAD

CNN is fake news and cannot be trusted!

FakeNewsMakers

C.ensorship N.ot N.eeded 🇺🇸👏🏻

biggest Propaganda network!

Very Good....

I’ll allow GrandWizard FAKE VP Mike_Pence ‘s wife KarenPence access to suck my 🍆🥜

That's because the doom and gloom your station and Democrats keep portraying. It's a disservice to AMERICANS.

What should he appear in a tabloid ? He’s probably booked solid by news organizations.

Pence is a Putz

Somewhere along the line CNN forgot what news stands for North, East, West and South not do everything in their power to use their platform to push their version of politics.

Good for him CNN can’t speak a word of the truth so let them lie without trying to sway others to lie for them

What would Mother say....🤭

Don’t want to know the truth he can’t handle the truth

How do u spell our vp's name? Ahole!

coincidentally there has been a significant drop in the spread of bullshit in the US today. Acosta abcnews CBSNews Newsy MSNBC trump virus

How petty can u be, what a jerk.

Yeah, I wonder why. Can't even be unbiased about your own damn party.

Well great news🤔...I didn't know that puppet could speak and think😏...I must start spreading the news in France, we will have a big laugh...🤣😂😄 Good luck...

People stopped watching those liars a while ago

It’s time for Trump and Pence to resign.

no speech freedom

Terryg1979 Fine. Then begin the briefing of Task Force only + Q&A. It's Trump's nonsense that's not newsworthy.

GOOD! there's an easy out. Air our President's briefings and STOP LYING TO THE PUBLIC! Try to remember that this is America! I know a hard concept for you left leaning socialist media hacks. The hatred you people spew and the hate you perpetuate is disgusting.

If you take someones comments out of context and put your own spin on it you're the worse kind of liar. CNN = Enemy of the people. FakeNews

They should just call the Task Farce briefings “The Hunch and Cootie Show”.

I would rather hear it straight from the experts, at the briefings, than a political web site who might twist the facts to make someone look bad...

If it the only way they will let us hear from experts over this life and death situation for the ego of one person, why not do it? You will lose viewers since it is either a spin on the truth or the usual misdirection, but we could watch something else while we are in Penceland.

Good. CNN is garbage.

Learned from Putin

Wouldn't want Americans to be informed. Not that the administration is giving factual information anyway...

Looks like Pence is as petty as Trump!

If trump gets covid-19 and pence gets it then Chuck Grassley becomes president then it's Nancy Pelosi. I'm praying for a trifecta!

AND DO YOU KNOW WHY

Hey Pence, CONCEAL THE HONEST OPINIONS OF THOSE WHO WON'T LIE IN SUPPORT OF YOU AND LittleOrangeDonnie TrumpIsALoser NeverTrumper

1/ AS HE SHOULD! Know WHY? Lemon, Cooper, Blitzer and others have suggested A) Trump has no Task Force (HINT: You MORONS blasted that Task Force that doesn't exist as not being more diverse, remember?) and B) That supplies aren't getting to their destinations. LIES FAKENEWS

Maybe if you quit cutting away from the daily briefing you wouldn't need that dumbasses! SMH

BECAUSE YOU’RE ALL ACTING LOKE CHILDREN.

Cannot wait until this administration is just a bad memory

About time

By all means keep critical information from the public because of your petulance.

Stop covering the entire WH briefing & do your own show. I am sure Dr. Fauci would recommend expert colleagues. I've never understood why CNN showed Trump & then cut away. It should have ignored Trump and started filming when the experts came on. They are who people want to hear

That is Americans right to hear the truth about our health. This is not political just mine right

because cnn sucks

Why do people who pretend to hate CNN follow CNN? I wonder why... you guys seem to get orgasms when reading and commenting on CNN page

Pence & Trump don't want you to know how bad it really is.

This is what a republican is. It's not Donald Trump, he doesn't no better. Trump is an idiot. But this!? This is premeditated evil. This is what a republican is.

Pence has an office?! Thought he was just on a tether.

Once again, you're not telling the whole story. He won't allow them to appear on your communist network until you start televising the press conferences. I applaud him for this decision.

The only positive -- they don't have to mix with any WH clowns who might be shedding COVID....

This is because their briefing and that two doctors are completely useless and not worth follow up on. American people wanted all health officials to broadcast live on TV except for those two doctors.

They should not allow that the media needs to get in this and cut it off ASAP - f Pence he’s just as corrupt as the Pgrabber he just tries to hide behind religion but his day is coming

This is unbelievable!

:(

Awesome!

Cause they know they are wrong an they are right since when did politicians become doctors

America is becoming more like Russia every day 😳

👎

So that you would not be able to twist the facts Racistnewsnetwork

cindygallop Surely it should be encouraging dissemination of information to all and any media! Reaching all people is vital! USA, you’re all crazy.

Makes sense to exclude organizations that are not journalistic from the situation

Good for Pence.

I have zero desire to hear anything from anyone except the health professionals and scientists. Silence them and rest assured a lot of us will stop watching all together.

We’ve come to censorship of experts! Wasn’t that what they accused China of doing to cover up the delayed response.

'And all of your viewers are going to die!' *maniacal laughter* Drama Queen

Keep the truth hidden, VP!! Great job! Congratulations, Sir.

That's because no one watches CNN

Bank America web site is down, Merril Lynch site is down!!!

WTF.

Move along. Nothing to see here.

How’s that working for ya CNN? Keep poking the bear...

Because you network refuses to cover the Presidents CCP Virus briefings.

CNN has declined to air the White House daily briefing in recent days where they discuss the coronavirus pandemic killing thousands of Americans.

well he is in charge of it so why should he talk about it

Is that because they could be asked about the hydroxychloroquine that realDonaldTrump is pushing as a cure all, and they would have to tell the truth contradicting what Trump has falsely claimed?

Now that is awesome news! notfakenews

VP did good job. is a commie station and all it doe sis spread propaganda, fear, hoax, destroy America. I am so proud of you VP Pence. How about we ban from white House? realDonaldTrump

If that is true and nothing to hide, shameful...

You don’t air the press conferences so why are you whining now?

Good. Acosta shouldn't be allowed to ask questions at the presser either. You won't carry it? Then you have no business grandstanding. I'm looking at you soy boy. Acosta

OMG

You censor the president, so they are just returning the favor.

Omg you trumpers are fucked

Hmmmmmm ........

CNN is no longer a credible news source. Too health officials are not pawns to be used against Trump. That’s CNN’s agenda

Why would he, Fake news?

Hey CNN, tell Milquetoast Pence that WE THE PEOPLE want the Coronavirus updates, NOT a tRump daily hate rally! Don't air it! We can catch Dr. Fauci on your other shows💗

Ummmmm

Well you are fake news, so it is no surprise the govt wouldn't want to be associated with you.

Maybe it’s because it’s a known fact will edit clips, twist words, or ask loaded questions designed to push a prerogative that is entirely counter productive to the work being accomplished by the current administration. maybe

Hahahahhah. How free speech is in America!🤣

Because of cnn propaganda and fake news

Aww, what a shame. You don’t broadcast the daily briefings, so I guess turnabout is fail play. FakeNews CNN coronavirus

TO BLOCK THE TRUTH ?VERY SKETCHY..........

This is who is leading us through a pandemic.... all they care about is the people that praise and worship them.

lobbyist criminals healthcare criminals 3rd world healthcare! sad to say It but it is sad to even see Americans struggle to meet ends need. folks working 2 or 3 jobs just to pay their rent. COVID19 coronavirus COVID19Pandemic again it's all about profit profit profit
