‘This Is So Confusing’: Shannon Bream Says New Guidance Is Forcing CDC To ‘Move The Goalposts In Full View Of The Public’

Fox News host Shannon Bream said Friday that the latest guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was forcing the organization to move the goalposts.

Bream, who borrowed a mic from “The Five” cohost Jesse Watters when hers failed to work, said that confusing guidance from officials only made it more difficult for businesses to reopen and for people to return to their normal activities.

Bream began to address the issue, but was abruptly cut off and informed that her mic was not working.

“Oh, I love this, this is so cozy,” Bream laughed as Watters unclipped his mic and stretched it toward her. “Anyway. Listen. The CDC is now going to have to move the goalposts in full view of the public, as the Washington Post said last night, because we are getting more data but if the data is relying on a study out of India partially that deals with vaccines that we don’t — oh, I think I have my mic now.”

Bream went on to address the return to mask mandates in places like Washington, D.C., and the concern that more stringent restrictions could follow.

“The mayor says, tweeted this afternoon, the city is open, but everybody has to re-mask,” she continued. “Their businesses are now complaining saying we have held on for 15, 16 months. This is so confusing, people aren’t going to come out again because they are afraid and they think they can’t get in without a mask and we don’t know what to do and you are hurting our ability to reopen.”

Cohost Jason Fowler agreed, at least in part, saying that the messaging from the CDC had been confusing.

“But that doesn’t take away from the fact that hospitalization rates are back to where we were in January,” he added.

“In D.C. over the last two weeks there was one person who died from COVID,” cohost Katie Pavlich interjected.

“We average one death per week in D.C.,” Watters added.

“But those are different regions. And I agree with you about D.C.,” Fowler continued.

“And we’ve had 11 homicides at victims,” Bream said.

“You’re more likely to get shot dead than die of COVID in D.C., Richard,” Watters said.

Fowler agreed that D.C. was not facing the same numbers that were rising in other parts of the country, but Watters pushed back, pointing out that they were only talking about D.C. because that was the topic of the segment.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
