Just another person busting CNN for pushing fake news, at this point anything on CNN should be assumed to be false until confirmed by a reputable source.

Fox is better than CNN because Fox's ratings dominate CNN's, so Fox generates more ad dollars.

Nothing else matters. Whoever makes the most $'s wins.

ABC, NBC, & CBS News vs. Fox News??? I'm guessing the MSM wins that battle since they are free tv, and Fox News is paid cable. If Fox News could be a 4th network on free TV, or if the 3 networks became cable, I wonder who would win?

While there is a screw up, there were devices provided that while not as expected are still of use. As such, it seems like people are piling on out of existing biases and grudges.

From 2 weeks ago, some were sent but were the wrong type.

However, while they are not the right type for ICU, here is a quote from UCLA....
https://www.foxbusiness.com/technolo...cpap-donations

Quote:
UCLA Health, which is also accepting donations from Tesla, confirmed to FOX Business that it is "in conversation with Tesla representatives about a donation of BIPAP/CPAP devices used for respiratory care of less-critical patients, which would free up ventilators best reserved for patients requiring more intensive treatment, as well as other donations that would benefit patients."

CNN are more staunchly committed to lying than Pravda when Stalin was in control. Their customer base wants to be lied to every second of every day non stop.

Why are people still watching cable news? It's dull and repetitive.

Thank God for CNN and MSNBC. If they didn't exist to give us the truth, we'd be swilling the garbage that dumps out of the FOX News trash can.

On Wednesday, Brian Ferguson, the Deputy Director for Crisis Communication at Newsom’s Office of Emergency Services told CNN that it was speaking to hospitals in the state every day and to date had “not heard of any hospital system that has received a ventilator directly from Tesla or Musk.”

Sounds like Elon's beef should be with ol' Brian at the Office of Emergency Services.
