Just when you thought the corrupt, fake news media could not possibly become any more corrupt or fake than it already was, they go and prove you wrong. – As President Donald Trump and his administration mobilize the entirety of the federal government in the fight to contain the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus, he and his task force members are doing everything they can to keep the public informed. Simply put: Our country is now on a war footing, regardless of anyone’s opinion about whether or not such measures are actually justified.
The President and his team hold press conferences at least once every day, often twice or even more, as a part of this effort. During a time like this, any patriotic American who cares about this country and our fellow citizens would hope that people who hold themselves out to be “news reporters” would focus their questioning on actual news-related stuff, and do their best to leave their leftist political correctness and active grudges against the President secured away in the enormous fanny packs in which all their rage-filled grudges are stored.
Well, you can hope that, but you would be disappointed if you did. Take the raging nitwit below as a prime example of a corrupt reporter using yesterday’s televised press conference as an excuse to grandstand her own grudge against President Trump and his ongoing, 100% accurate use of the term “Chinese virus” to describe what he is fighting:
ALX 🇺🇸 @alx President Trump asked again why he uses the phrase “Chinese Virus”:
“It comes from China, I want to be accurate”

Reporter (no idea who she might be): “Ok, why do you keep calling this the Chinese virus? There are reports of dozens of incidents of bias against Chinese Americans in this country. Your own aide, Secretary Azar, says he does not use this term because ethnicity does not cause the virus. Why do you keep using this? A lot of people say it’s racist?”
President Trump: “It’s not racist. It’s not racist at all, no. Not at all. It comes from China. That’s why. It comes from China. I want to be accurate. I have great love for all of the people from our country. But, as you know, China tried to say at one point – maybe they’ve stopped now – that it was caused by American soldiers. That can’t happen. It’s not going to happen, not as long as I’m President. It comes from China.”
[End]
Now, about those “dozens of incidents of bias against Chinese Americans,” which this reporter wants people to believe were somehow caused by the President correctly identifying where this virus originated: Most likely almost all such reports – assuming they even exist anywhere outside of this reporter’s mind – are false. Possibly all of them made up by leftist activists pursuing their political agenda, an Alinsky tactic that Democrats and their media toadies use all the time.
Do idiots exist in our society who exercise bias against Chinese Americans? Sure. There are idiots in our society who exercise bias against all races, colors and religions in America. No society of 339 million people can ever be free from the acts of idiots.
This reporter is one of those idiots, exercising her rage-filled bias against a President trying to get accurate information to the American people. And she wasn’t even the worst example from yesterday’s press conference – check out this raging clown show:
The Hill ✔ @thehill Reporter: "A person at the White House used the term Kung Flu... And do you think using the term Chinese virus puts Asian Americans at risk?"
President Trump: "No, not at all. I think they probably would agree with it 100%. It comes from China. There's nothing not to agree."

Reporter (Again, no earthly idea who she is): “There’s reporting that the federal government has a plan that shows this coronavirus outbreak might last as long as 18 months – are you seeing those numbers?
President: “No, I’m not seeing that at all.”
Reporter: “And my second question is, there are some, at least one White House official who used the term ‘Kung flu’, referring to the fact that this virus started in China. Is that acceptable? Is it wrong? Are you worried that, that having this virus be, be talked about as a Chinese virus, that that might …
President: “I wonder who said that. Do you know who said that?”
Reporter: “That, I’m not sure the person’s name, but would you condemn the fact …”
President: “Say the term again.”
Reporter [clearly lying]: “Th, um, a person at the White House used the term ‘Kung flu'”…
President: “Kung flu.”
Reporter: “My question is, do you think that’s wrong – Kung flu – and do you think using that term Chinese virus, that puts Asian Americans at risk?”
President: “No, not at all. No, not at all. I think they probably would agree with it 100%. It comes from China.”
[End]
You seriously could never make this up, folks. In the middle of a national emergency, an emergency that is going to end up ultimately killing hundreds, if not thousands of Americans, all these tiny-brained “journalists” can focus on is political correctness. If these people had been alive on D-Day, they would have used their time to chastise FDR for someone in the White House using the term “kraut”, or maybe for using unfair stereotypes to demonize Herman Goehring.
It is a stunning display of not only inexcusable, pervasive bias in the American media, but also of what can only be called rank stupidity. These reporters are just plain stupid people who have no sense of priority.
But hey, in case anyone is sitting there thinking I’m picking on the women, fear not: The award for absolute dumbest, most brain-dead corrupt reporter take of the day goes to Richard Engel of NBC News:
Daily Caller ✔ @DailyCaller NBC News’ @RichardEngel:
“This is a virus that came from the territory of China but came from bats. This is a bat virus, not a China virus. It doesn't speak Chinese. It doesn't target Chinese people. It targets human beings...”

*sigh*
The American media is garbage. Smelly, rancid, putrid garbage.
That is all.
Like i said, the Chinese flu is gender neutral..i thought that’s all that mattered to the left?
Anyhow, i prefer to call it the commie flu.
It is impossible to forget that but the MSM is scaring children like 9/11. I’ve switched to radio news.
What concerns me most is the people that actually believe the trash they throw out on a daily basis. Despicable.
I was sold on Wuhan Virus when it was first announced, but now I really like Chi-Com Virus.
I now know the true meaning of “Bat shit crazy”....................
You should have titled it “Latest Bat Virus out of China”.
Perhaps the using the Phil Rizzuto baseball analogy illustrate the spread to the US...
“President: “Say the term again.”
“Reporter [clearly lying]: “Th, um, a person at the White House used the term ‘Kung flu’”…
“President: “Kung flu.”
“Reporter: “My question is, do you think that’s wrong – Kung flu – and do you think using that term Chinese virus, that puts Asian Americans at risk?”
****************
LOL. He got a left wing reporter to say “Kung Flu” twice and he got to say it once in response on national TV. Do they see how he sets them up?
Maybe just for fun, he can have them repeat “Pocahontas” ten times.
In this State of Emergency, why is it that the media is exempt from being told to sit down and stfu?
Bias against Chinese (like how they use Chinese-Americans, when you know well many of them are not).
Yes, we are so mean and hateful and evil.
Just like all those incidents against Arabs and Moslems after the much more massive and direct attack on US.
