CNN's Alisyn Camerota promoted a liberal talking point about the Obama administration's response to the Ebola outbreak on the 24 October 2014 edition of New Day, as she interviewed Rep. Jason Chaffetz. Camerota spotlighted "many Democrats...say that Republicans in the Senate have blocked the President's nominee for a surgeon general that we could have had one year ago – but Republicans have been an impediment."
When Congressman Chaffetz asserted that "the federal government is woefully underprepared" to deal with the deadly virus, the anchor countered that "the CDC tries to assuage our fear by saying that they now have put out new guidelines. Their new guidelines are more protective. They now conform more with the Doctors Without Borders guidelines. So, does that help your fear factor?"
