Journalist David Zweig feels that CNN and other liberal media outlets did not report enough to determine the subject of the viral interview in which a nurse claimed that many people who die from the coronavirus do not believe the virus is real.
“Do dead patients gossiping ‘isn’t it real when they die?’ Announcing the release of the wire, it was revealed that, “The case of deranged refusal of the ER nurse went viral. But when the media took over the story, the reporters did not do their job. “

New York-based Zweig – a writer and columnist who has written for the Atlantic, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, among other outlets – was examined in a recent CNN interview by South Dakota Emergency Room Nurse Jodi Doring. People are dying from coronavirus and don’t always believe it.
“He wasn’t a special patient. He’s just the culmination of a lot of people, and his last, posthumous words, ‘It can’t happen, it’s not real.’ And when they have to spend time facetting their families, they are full of anger and hatred, and it really saddens me, “the nurse told CNN during an interview with Alicin Camerota on” New Day, “who then asked That anger and hatred are directed at Doring.
“I think it’s just a belief that its real and nursing happens as soon as it is received,” Doring replied.

The CNN interview went viral, with one clip going viral on Twitter with over 5.5 million views. It was shared by politicians, picked up by other news outlets and parroted by leading journalists. But Zweig felt things were an aquarium and did a little digging.
“There is no doubt that we have a deep debt of gratitude to all the front line medical staff working with the current surge in Jodi Doering and Covid cases. The work they do is truly heroic. Still, the way Doring has reported on his experience and the way it has been broadcast stop people, ”he wrote.
“During’s statement that” many “people die from the disease, even though he denies its existence, is relentlessly repeated on social media and is presented by news without news,” says Zweig. It seems to represent a widespread phenomenon. “But other nurses working in the same nurses say they have not seen anything like it.”
Zweig then detailed that he had contacted other hospitals in the same area of South Dakota but no one else felt the same experience as Doring.
“At my request, Kim Rigger, VP for communications and marketing at Huron Regional Medical Center, one of the four medical facilities where Daring works, spoke to several Huron nurses to get their feedback on the CNN interview. No one said they would communicate with Kovid patients who denied having the disease, “Zweig wrote. “This does not mean that Doring’s account is not wrong. But it does, at the very least, provide some important context that was completely absent from the CNN interview and all subsequent media amplification. “

Zweig feels that “little or no effort was made to assess the scope of the problem that During memorably described” before reporters echoed his claims. He listed the Daily Beast, the Huffpost, and the Washington Post as outlets covering D’Ring’s claims, with some of the stories “crafted as a surprising embodiment of red-state rejection.”
“Daring’s account is similarly a perfect fit for a pre-written statement, and has been passed by respectable people and reputable outlets, which rarely pose a threat,” Zweig wrote. “Only a small amount of additional reporting suggests that their experience of facing deathbed rejection … may be a more disturbing discrepancy than a window of time into our trouble.”
CNN did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
