Dr. Drew says coronavirus panic is 'destroying' businesses — and he wants the media to be held accountable

What I have a problem with is the panic and the fact that businesses are getting destroyed and people's lives are being upended. Not by the virus, but by the panic," he continued.

"The panic must stop, and the press, they really, somehow, need to be held accountable, because they are hurting people."

” I just hope that some remember how the media fueled it and take some appropriate action to make sure there are repercussions on members of the media.”

You’re hoping that the people buying mountains of toilet paper in response to a pandemic will be able to reason out how they lost their job? That they will be able to use reason in the face of the media blaring 24x7, “the reason you’re hurting is Trump’s fault, orange man bad!”

Not likely.

Reaction to this is way over the top, and yes, it's media driven. Most of the media see it as a way to rid the country of Donald Trump and acting accordingly.

Personally I am angry, very angry, and utterly disgusted.

In addition to harming Trump the MSM loves the power and control they hold over the American people. They control and manipulate the message, and they have to love seeing the sheer panic they’ve created around the country.

The same people that say others have too much money, now have too much toilet paper.

The MSM-Democrats think they’ve found a way to wipe out the economy in an election year.

Yep. Anyone who doesn’t understand this is either in denial or they are very obtuse.

“Hold accountable” is the most meaningless phrase in the English language.

The neverTrump author of the aritcle writes: Mr. Trump has no desire to acquaint himself with most issues, let alone master them” is how I put it four years ago.....Mr. Trump’s virulent combination of ignorance, emotional instability, demagogy, solipsism and vindictiveness would do more than result in a failed presidency; it could very well lead to national catastrophe. The prospect of Donald Trump as commander in chief should send a chill down the spine of every American.

What this idiot misses, is that it is not a leader's job to act like a policy wonk and read all of the papers. His job is to figure out who is telling him the truth, who can get stuff done, and who is a bullshitting careerist trying to advance personal position at the expense of everyone else.

They are doing it SOLELY to harm Trump because nothing is more important than the Democraps blood thirst for power, to hell with the people, and already they are claiming victory....

They may very well succeed, because sporting events are being cancelled. It will be blamed on Trump. A large percentage of voters are intellectually stunted and sports-addicted.

I just got home from the grocery store to buy dog food and cokes. The place was PACKED. No toilet paper. NO MEAT. Every line was open and each line was 30 to 40 people deep. I’ve never seen anything like it.

They don’t have the power they think they have After 3 years of total war against President Trump from the media his polls are better than they have ever been. Trump is no George Bush who let the media walk all over him. Trump is the best fighter the GOP has had in modern times.

i was just in a local supermarket in Shop Rite....its in Bedford, NY, a very liberal town...the anger towards the media was palpable from the people waiting on line- and the lines stretch back and back and back...when i said, “its the media that should be cancelled” the vast majority nodded their heads in agreement...even the store manager called BS on the media hysteria and says this is purposely being done to harm President Trump...

For entertainment purposes we’ll be seeing an increasing number of “panic” videos showing up on YouTube of people brawling over shortages of TP, water, and sanitizer. What times we live in!

Are the elections in March or in November (a good 8 months away)?

The “Press” is literally hollering FIRE in a crowded theater. They must be held accountable.

I ordered from Kroger on line. Drove over and a nice young man loaded the bags into my trunk. Fast efficient and he wouldn’t even take a tip. Democrats! Bah! Humbug!

He's right. The media and Democrats should be held accountable.

The hysteria that corona is going to kill half a million Americans is total lunacy.
