Our health and economy are not the only things suffering under coronavirus. Media and political hypocrisy and partisan double standards are at crisis levels.

The important role of a free press is being jettisoned to achieve leftist political outcomes. When a free press debases itself in this way, the public loses confidence in the press and devolves to cynicism. This is hurting health policy and the body politic.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Freedom of speech also includes the right of others to disagree with you and even call you out as well.

Was AT&T bought by the Chinese? Wow, it must be an embarrassment to work for a propaganda machine.

Governor DeSantis - if you are taking heavy flak, you are over the target.

CNN will argue that if we just stop driving cars and trucks we can save many lives and possibly the planet and all starve together.

When the Left Wing Media attacks you, you know whatever you are doing hurts Democrat election chances in their lust for more power and corruption.

That’s why the concept of “mockingbird media” isn’t conspiracy theory anymore. Look at the way the Establishment Media essentially acts like the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party.

Those lefties wanted this virus to last into election time.

just wondering how many of them understand between Trump making this country work again.. and what a barry USA world.. THIS
CURRENT dem party in controlWORLD...and a left progressive commie USA would be and what their quality of life would be..

Have they pondered it? or do they follow the crowd that notices the creased pants and a fake condescending smile.

and the dems are not going to let this election go smooth.. not a chance they will let Trump and family bask in success

If CNN "slams" you, you must be doing it right!

A Republican could cure Alzheimers, and CNN would say “Republicans are eliminating Alzheimers patients! REEEEEEEEE!” Take nothing CNN says seriously.

They still do and most of the country is still locked down because they keep moving the goalposts with Dr Doom and Deborah’s help.

Correct. The fact the house feels it is not safe to go back into session, while the Senate has, is front running by the media. The media is now presenting the issues, for the dems, that their house inquiries will focus upon when they get back as if they are not putting the program together before they do. Kabuki theater of the absurd coming up for the rest of the summer.

I’m proud of my Governor DeSantis. Overall he has done a fine job and is opening up albeit slowly, he is opening up. Went to beach yesterday and it was awesome to see families laughing and enjoying being outside.(where the virus will die)
The hotspots like Miami and Ft. Lauderdale will remain closed, but that’s understandable. Essential workers have been working and the Nons are slowly coming back, unlike Oregon, Michigan, California, Ohio and many others. I guess if you are a blue state you have to stay shuttered indoors.
