CNN Claps Back at Kirstie Alley With ‘Veronica’s Closet’ Diss

CNN had a “Veronica’s Closet” diss at the ready when the actress Kirstie Alley tweeted to her followers on Friday morning that the network overplayed the dangers of Covid-19.

“I now Know why my personal friends who walk around in Sheer Terror of contracting Covid are simply CNN viewers! I decided to watch CNN myself to get a their viewpoint and oh my God Did I Ever!!!! If You Too Want To Live In Terror Watch CNN!! Fear Of Dying Is Their Mantra!
