WaPo's Ignatius Swipes at George W, Trump for 9/11, Coronavirus
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 03/30/2020 7:03:28 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

David Ignatius managed to pull off an MSM two-fer this morning: using the coronavirus not only to swipe at President Trump, but going back in history to jab another Republican president, George W. Bush, for his handling of 9/11.

[snip]

Ignatius then said that President Trump's handling of the coronavirus will be at the center of the 2020 presidential campaign. Ignatius got off this laugh line: "We [in the media] don’t have to litigate it every day. That’s Joe Biden’s job if he is the nominee."

Don't worry, Joe: the MSM will be with you every step of the way, making your job, their job!

WaPo’s Ignatius swipes at W re 9/11, Pres. Trump re virus. Then throws in unintentional humor, saying not MSM’s job to “litigate” Trump’s handling of virus: that will be Biden’s job. Yeah, right! MSM will be right there beside ol’ Joe, if he’s the candidate, all the way.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Did Ignatius mention that Obama cut the CDC budget from at least 2011-2014?

Drudge got caught with a kid or something maybe.

This type of blackmail, to turn around overnight!! has to be something really, really bad he got caught in.

As for even some around here comparing bush to Trump, STOP.

I’m not in love with the stimulus but dems and msm would have buried him with it and 10s of millions of angry (not so bright) Americans not getting their checks could have turned the eletion.

Trump has done Many, Many great things for the country.

bush was an abettor and having our soldiers killed and maimed and letting the sauds off the hook.

It’s an insult of the highest level to compare the 2.

The largest difference between prostitution and modern journalism is that the prostitutes provide a useful service.

As an added benefit, the prostitutes are also held in much higher respect.

This Obama butt boy forgot who was president between George W. and President Trump. Somebody buy the retard a book and have someone read it to him. This clown is one sick little leftist b*tch.

Yeah bring Joe on. He’ll tell the world how he is going to beat this polio virus epidemic by appointing General Marshall to create another plan to drop iron lungs out of B52, into occupied New York!

Trump set up his corona virus task force on January 29th, and initiated the China travel ban on January 31st. At the time, there were only about 20 confirmed corona viruses cases in the entire country, and no deaths. Pelosi's Democrat-controlled House didn't hold it's first corona virus hearing until February 5th.

Biden, and many on the left, criticized the China travel ban as "racist" and "xenophobic." Weeks later, Pelosi and De Blasio were still encouraging people to go about in public, mingle, and visit places like Chinatown.

From old man Bush and his new world order, to Clinton to GWB to Obama, lets not forget they all had a part in turning over so many of our companies (especially the drug market) to the Chi Coms. God willing, Trump with a house and a senate can get it all turned around.
