As Twitchy told you earlier, Brian Stelter’s CNN co-hall monitor Oliver Darcy got all righteously indignant over Fox News’ Bret Baier allowing Mollie Hemingway to appear on an opinion panel on yesterday’s “Special Report”:
How can @BretBaier be hosting a supposed "straight-news" show while allowing @MZHemingway to appear on the program and push this "OBAMAGATE" stuff unchallenged with no opposing point of view?

We’re not sure how Darcy managed to tweet that with a straight face given who CNN has tapped as an expert for their upcoming “Coronavirus: Facts and Fears” town hall: Greta Thunberg.
Actually, maybe he was able to type it with a straight face because he’s actually managed to convince himself that there’s absolutely nothing wrong with holding Greta Thunberg up as an expert on anything:
CNN is featuring Greta Thunberg on an "expert panel on covid-19," so maybe CNN should sit this one out https://t.co/5l48X3OzXV

she is donating $100,000 (money she was awarded) to help kids affected by coronavirus! it's not like she's being brought on as a medical expert https://t.co/85YoXVcaur

She's not an expert on anything. Bill Gates is donating millions to develop a vaccine, and he actually knows things about vaccines. If signing checks gets you on CNN as an "expert," I feel like you're watering down expertise rather substantially.

And Bill Gates has been on many times. Thunberg is trying to do a good thing by donating time/money to help kids impacted by coronavirus. Not sure why it's so terrible to highlight that work!

yeah she's one of the special guests? what am I missing?

Well, for starters, Oliver, you appear to be missing that little voice in your head that’s screaming “THIS IS WHY NO ONE TAKES YOU SERIOUSLY!” at you.
Self-awareness

Credibility.

A lot, apparently.

A whole lot.
Special guests: former CDC director, former HHS director, doctor, child.
