In a tweet on Friday morning, Alley said that CNN has made people live in “sheer terror” of the coronavirus due to their reporting.
“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! OMG,” Alley tweeted.
Alley is hardly the first media figure to blast the MSM’s 24/7 coverage of COVID-19. During the early outset of the pandemic, former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson coined the term “panic porn” to describe the hysterical reactions.
