For some mysterious reason I'm supposed to refer to The Daily Beast . . .

. . . who will tell me that CNN lied about the feckless Dump administration vaccine distribution plan. Here is the Daily Beast coverage. I give you two stories.

Story 1:

‘Worse Than We Imagined’: Team Trump Left Biden a COVID Nightmare':

The Biden administration came into power with purpose and an extensive agenda to combat the coronavirus pandemic, but purpose and planning only gets you so far—particularly when the president’s team is only just now getting a clear picture of how badly the previous administration had managed the crisis.

“What we’re inheriting from the Trump administration is so much worse than we could have imagined,” Jeff Zients, the Biden administration’s COVID-19 czar, said in a call with reporters Wednesday. “We don't have the visibility that we would hope to have into supply and allocations.” . . . 

The new administration is already behind, in part because the Trump administration was unprecedentedly hostile during the transition. The question now, however, is how Biden can get a handle on a raging pandemic when his team is already so far behind. . . . 

It’s not just the spread of the virus that the Biden team needs to tackle. Officials will also have to confront the disinformation and misinformation about the virus that has permeated all four corners of the country—where people still believe the virus is a hoax and that public health guidelines are too great of an imposition on their personal freedom to follow. But it’s unclear what power of persuasion the Biden administration will hold and if it will be enough to convince people to take the virus more seriously.

“At least we won’t have a president that’s actively fighting those rules on national television,” one official working with the new Biden COVID-19 team said.

Story 2:  Approximately 16.5 million people in the U.S. have been vaccinated to date—well short of the 20 million that Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar predicted would be vaccinated by the end of 2020. In some cases, staffing shortages have slowed distribution; in others, doses have been purposefully destroyed. Several states have had to change who is eligible for the vaccine after receiving more doses than they were able to distribute.

The part about CNN lying is not there.  

Update: Yes, like I said, there was a plan, and as Anthony Fauci and Sam Stein both said, it was inadequate. And CNN accurately quoted a Biden administration official as saying that it was worse than they expected and needed to largely be rebuilt. They named him. He said that. Was he exaggerating somewhat? I don't know, but CNN did not lie or mislead anybody. They are not fake news. 

 As a matter of fact, studies have consistently shown that people who say they get their information mostly from Fox News are misinformed, and have much less accurate knowledge of current events than people who get their information from CNN -- or any other major news organization. That's it. I will not waste my time arguing any further with an idiot.
