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 Trumps 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.

When the NYT says stop, it means full speed ahead to us.

Non of ‘em are sticking, Chuck, but you're definitely displaying that you'll politicize anything, no matter how much suffering your policies have contributed.
True.
But its fun watching him get his blood pressure up. He’d better watch that old ticker of his.
A queer columnist named “Charles Blow”. Reality is becoming immune to parody.
Yes, but I also stop and watch the Three Stooges when I'm channel surfing. I've seen 'em all, but they are always worth one more snicker...
They basically accuse trump of what they do.
Their fake news is like little kids who lie constantly.
I am amazed that anyone believes any of the fake news media.
I read that and said to my self that is exactly what they are.
LOL
Lamentations of their women
Chuck Blow...
Biden will need earphones with answers piped in by handlers!
Truth hurts.
I second that! Strongly!
The reality is they are trying to filter what comes through. They're ABYSMAL at being fair and balanced. They'll continue with false narratives (ventilator and bed shortages) or show when Trump goes on a rant but they won't show the context or the MEAT, the good information. I know this because they keep coming back with questions on things that have been covered over and over in the briefings. Do they not keep themselves informed? They can't even get it correct that there are multiple types of testing.
Trump's absolutely right to show Coumo's statement about the federal response because that's the record. The press keep trying to beat the dead horse of "bad response" when it's not supported by the facts.
Charles; he also s*cks.
I cam imagine Biden walking down into the media chair formation, grabbing one of the female reporters by the shoulders and whispers something like “dear gimme some softballs willya” in her ears.
Is Blow his name or his job at the Times?
Because the American people have no right to know the truth, where their money is going or what THEIR President is doing. We should all just rely on the New York Times for our information.
Perhaps it's his hobby - " In 2014, Blow came out publicly as bisexual." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_M._Blow
I enjoy very much listening to these briefings. I either tune in or view a video later if I can’t.
Who you going trust? The New York times?
