CNN is firmly telling its viewers to follow mask-wearing guidelines amid the coronavirus crisis, using a new set of its famous “facts first” promos to do so.
“A mask can say a lot about the person who wears it,” says one of the spots as tie-dyed, political, sloganed and flag-patterned masks appear on the screen, “but even more about the person who doesn’t.”
“Please wear a mask,” appears on-screen, followed by the CNN logo and phrase, “Facts First.”
The ads, which begin airing Friday, come at a time when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends mask-wearing to slow the spread of the coronavirus, some regions are weighing or implementing mandates and the issue has somehow become a political one.
