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.

Funny, the Times thought it was a good idea when FDR and even Mario Cuomo had ‘Fireside Chats’.

Oh, how wonderful of you and your ilk Katie to want to
"filter" the news and tell the public how and what to think.
Very charitable of you.
CNN and MSNBC have already quit airing.
Methinks Charles has been snorting too much of his last name. I hope I live long enough to see the New York Times go down for the count.
“The networks need to continue showing Trumps daily rages and out-of-control mental breakdowns.”
If independent voters were perceiving his briefings the way the press does, the old media would be playing them 24/7. What outrages them is that his ratings are going up.
Talk about a purveyor of disinformation. The NYT is right at the top as a world class source of disinformation. Their definition of Trump disinformation is that they disagree with it and Democrats disagree with it. Has nothing to do with fact.
Today’s briefing was great.
I can imagine his Opening remark...what country am I in now?
Go blow yourself Charles.
And yet these same people are A-OK with covering Cuomo’s daily blow-viatings.
As the left always says when people complain about all the cultural Marxism on TV; “Turn it off if you don’t like it.”.
Only show I wait for daily
The stats of what the response team is accomplishing....are amazing!
Can anyone even imagine Biden up there for 2 hours a day, showing us members of an amazing team?
When the the mainstream propagandists in the mainstream media, erupt with a flash of light and a puff of smoke, we know they have been hit hard from the Mothership with Trump in the cockpit.
The professional propagandists hate for anyone to have an opportunity to hear the truth and to see through the manipulation from the DNC media. When people actually watch Trump in full, it becomes very challenging for them to believe the propaganda media’s straw man caricature of him (unless they are already filled with blind hatred of him). That enrages the propagandists, as they’ve worked very hard at promoting strategic misinformation (and creating as much chaos, disunity, and hysteria as possible during this crisis).
And Trump’s willingness to fight back when they attack him on behalf of their political masters enrages them even more. They are arrogant as a general rule and are used to being kowtowed to.
This things me of the people on the left who want to stop talk radio.
