O Twitter explodiu depois de Greta Thunberg, de apenas 17 anos de idade, ter sido convidada especial a juntar-se a um grupo de médicos especialistas para discutir a pandemia do coronavírus. Anderson Cooper, de 52 anos, vai ser o host da sessão, intitulada ‘Coronavirus- Facts and Fears’, e depois de o anúncio ter sido feito na conta oficial de Twitter da CNN, os utilizadores da rede social passaram-se.
A decisão de incluir a jovem num painel de especialistas em saúde pública deu que falar…

O comentador político Ben Shapiro foi rápido a manifestar-se, tendo tweetado para os seus 2.6 milhões de seguidores algo como: “Há alguém na CNN com algum nível de noção? Incluir Greta Thunberg num painel de especialistas da COVID-19 é indescritível. Não posso acreditar que cometeram tamanha loucura/estupidez”.
E a sua rant continuou…

Sorry, CNN. I just don’t get it. Your ratings continue to slide, and your response is to put Greta Thunberg on an expert Coronavirus panel? Your playing a joke on us, right? Did you lose a bet? @CNN
