Hey, happy very much, very happy Mother's Day to you and yours. I'm Brian Stelter live in New York and this is reliable sources.

We're going to show you how vile and dangerous coronavirus conspiracy theories are spreading on cable

television and talk about why President Trump continues to promote this

particular channel. On a happier note we're going to speak with the CEO of the New York Times about how some newspapers are weathering the coronavirus storm.

And since it is Mother's Day, we're going to introduce her to a Wisconsin mom and her two daughters who are keeping journalism alive from their home with a brand new online

newspaper.

Here's some great guests standing by Maggie Haberman Oliver Darcy, Catherine Rampel,

and many more.

The New York Times tried to capture this staggering number on their Saturday front page by taking over the entire

right side showing the chart, showing the dramatic change in

employment by taking up the front page that way.

tell these stories because the economic crisis and the health crisis are both

daunting. The death toll in the US is nearing 80,000.

And those are just the cases we know about.
