When recapping the coverage of the alleged saga of a friend of Nicki Minaj’s cousin whose testicles, the rapper said, swelled after he was vaccinated against Covid-19, CNN’s Jim Acosta got punny.
“No doubt about it: Over on Fox this week, it got a little nuts,” he quipped on Sunday before showing some of the segments Fox News devoted to Minaj’s dubious claim.
Indeed, for days following Minaj’s Monday proclamation about the fate of her cousin’s friend’s private parts, Fox News did cover her tweets and their associated fallout, with hosts like Tucker Carlson saying the criticism of the music star was proof that Americans aren’t allowed to share skepticism or ask questions about the vaccine.
“Carlson latched onto the tweet and proceeded to spread more paranoia about getting the shot,” said Acosta, during his “CNN Newsroom” this week, before tossing out another double entendre.
