For over a month now, the White House has been holding its daily coronavirus briefings, and most networks, cable news channels and major news websites have been carrying all or parts of them live, as millions of people, trapped inside and anxious, have tuned in.
The briefings are marked by Trump’s own misinformation, deceptions, rage, blaming and boasting. He takes no responsibility at all for his abysmal handling of the crisis, while each day he seems to find another person to blame, like a child frantically flinging spaghetti at a wall to see which one sticks.
He delivers his disinformation flanked by scientists and officials, whose presence only serves to convey credibility to propagandistic performances that have simply become a replacement for his political rallies.

They want their other outlets to begin claiming Trump is not providing us ENOUGH information, clearing NYT to make other attacks on America.

Charles Blowhard can’t suppress the news from Trump.

Best briefing so far today. Crisp, to the point, and chock full of information.

“Under no circumstance should these briefings be carried live. Doing so is a mistake bordering on journalistic malpractice. Everything a president does or says should be documented but airing all of it, unfiltered is irresponsible.”

Somebody has a bad case of butt hurt.Understatement of the year. How in the world can he demand a stop to airing of the hearings when they're showing they have high tech testing machines and that all states have what they need. Birx is talking about the problems of asymptomatic individuals who are infecting others. Get a life.

Can anyone imagine Biden giving daily briefings? In Biden's case, the briefings will have to be hourly. Of course, he won't remember what they told him last hour, but it will keep his staff busy.

The networks need to continue showing Trumps daily rages and out-of-control mental breakdowns.
