CNN Vaccine PSAs, Sanjay Gupta and Celebrity Endorsements
The hosts critique a series of CNN public service announcements featuring Sanjay Gupta. In these clips, Gupta interacts with Rosie Perez and David Diggs to promote vaccination even for those with natural immunity. The hosts mock the scripted nature of the interactions and the lack of scientific depth in the messaging.
National Train Day, Warren Buffett Freight Agenda
National Train Day, scheduled for May 8th, is identified as a public relations campaign managed by Hill & Knowlton. The true agenda is argued to be the promotion of freight rail to benefit Warren Buffett's Burlington Northern Santa Fe acquisition, rather than passenger travel. Actor Taye Diggs is serving as the celebrity spokesperson for the event.
