[See NewsBusters for more.] Talk about tone deaf. CBS This Morning on Thursday attempted to report the upside to a global pandemic that is killing thousands. Correspondent Vladimir Duthiers, reporting from his home because of the virus, cheered, “Let's talk to you about Italy. Obviously that country, its people have been devastated by the coronavirus. But there is a little bit of a silver lining in some of its historic cities. This is Venice.... You can never see the waters because they're so murky from all the boats.” He continued, “Now you can see the crystal-clear waters of the Venice canals. You can see fish swimming around in the canals. That’s pretty amazing, pretty remarkable for those of you who have visited Venice.”
