The Media is a Public Health Crisis
Frontpage Mag ^ | March 23, 2020 | Daniel Greenfield

...Every time President Trump calls it the Chinese virus, he's making an important point. Meanwhile the media has become a repository of People's Republic propaganda. The problem extends far beyond whether to call it the coronavirus, the Wuhan Flu, COVID-19, or the Chinese virus.

The media has met this crisis, the way it has every other, by persistently undermining President Trump's leadership. Repeatedly interrupting his press briefing for ChiCom memes is not an aberration, but how the media has tackled the subject of the Wuhan Flu all along.

Even President Bush received a "crisis honeymoon" after September 11 in which the media briefly projected calls for national unity and solidarity...

I sit here watching the presidents corona briefing with his team and I decided to check the other stations, ABC, CBS NBC,CNN, MSNBC, not one of these traitorous scumbag MEDIA outlets are televising this, NOT ONE!!! they were parading sick people, end of times pundits, and reporters with empty FN heads. This is the American media and we should take notice. DO NOT FORGET WHAT THEY HAVE DONE in creating hysteria and not reporting vital information directly from the president and his team. DIRTY ROTTEN TRAITOROUS SCUMBAGS, lets remember them.

“The media is more menacing than the Wuhan flu!”

To the average healthy person, absolutely.

Of course they are not covering it. They know these news conferences are raising Trump’s approval numbers. They won’t be covering hideous Quid-Pro-Joe gaffes from his daily attack on Trump. They will highly edit that.

"Local governments have shut down bars and eateries. Nobody has shut down the media. But an hour of CNN is far more of a public health threat than all the bars in all the cities of the country." Novel coronavirus cases could have been reduced by 95 percent had China responded to the outbreak just three weeks earlier than it did, a March 13 study by the University of Southampton has found.

The media, like unions, the DNC and their commie/socialist/leftist/socialist scum, are a virus, needing quick eradication.

Amen! The enemedia is so transparent. Where do they find these reporter ? idiots, they even look the part. Trump called them angry, so true so true
Trump is way to patient by far with their I got you / I’ll pin you down on it questions pressed on him, He is killing it and we all see it. Their screw faced expressions are priceless.
I see it as that their cut away coverage is to cloak reason and spread chaos. Trump is throwing it all out there and these idiots are too hung up on themselves to even see it.

Why should I believe ANYTHING the media tells me? These are the same a-holes who spent 3 years telling me Russia and Mr. Trump were in cahoots. The same a-holes that gave Obummer a pass on everything, and blame Mr. Trump for anything they can dream up.

L.A. mayor numb-nuts Garshitty has scolded all of Los Angeles for going to the beach, while letting every low-life junkie shoot drugs and poop on the sidewalks. He is warning that walking on the beach will be a misdemeanor.

I believe that voting for a liar (all demonRats) should be a felony. I’m sick of this hyperbolic virus panic.
