On Sunday's Reliable Sources, CNN host Brian Stelter raged about right-wingers complaining about media bias, that it was dangerous with a "nonpartisan illness" like coronavirus.

On Friday's CNN Newsroom, Los Angeles Times and NPR film critic Justin Chang pleased anchor Brooke Baldwin by ripping Donald Trump for praising really old movies Gone with the Wind and Sunset Boulevard as a racial "dog whistle."
