Press does the ‘gotcha’ dance over ‘Trump-touted’ NIH hydroxychloroquine non-recommendation, flunks basic reporting

For the press, it's quite the "gotcha" dance.

The National Institutes of Health's refusal to recommend the use of the common anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine in combination with the antibiotic azithromycin for the treatment of COVID-19, was proof positive according to the "science" that President Trump was wrong about the use of the drug, as well as an incompetent who was touting quack medicine, given that he noted the treatment as promising in one of his tweets.

They've finally got something to pin on him.

Here's a sampler of some of the headlines out there from NPR, CNN, Forbes, The Hill, and the New York Times:

Even if PDJT was wrong this article proves how evil the left is.

And note I am not saying he was wrong

They are more concerned about hurting Trump than that people are dying

I think it is fair to say that we (and by extension, Trump) have lost the PR battle on this topic.

My wife’s uncle (81 years old) went to the hospital with the China virus and double pneumonia and received the HCQ and is doing well now.

The “anecdotally living” need to be gathered up and put in camps for their refusal to die for the party. ;-)

Why in the hell are taxpayers STILL required to fund NPR/PBS ?

That entity has always been a socialist playpen.

It’s another leftist/NWO/globalist coordinated effort to stop a successful treatment.

A treatment that is successful for MANY diseases. Can’t have that!

Saw this on Twitter....a montage of the media’s hit pieces, on this successful China Virus treatment.

Link to image that’s too large, once legible, to post....shows ALL of the Fake News outlets using SAME words to diminish this successful treatment....

Trump navigates this nation through a situation that would crush others, and as a reward the media hurls negatives at him 24/7.

Talk about a man for our times.

Why?

Simple.

Conservatives lack the political clout to breech the NPR political defenses.

Did he say "in combination with the antibiotic azithromycin"?

Or is this fake news?

Got a link to a quote?

My note to the media: FU all. Were I Trump, I’d issue orders that anyone with a press credential who is confined to a hospital be DENIED any use of the drug combo.

“Why in the hell are taxpayers STILL required to fund NPR/PBS ?”

I was flipping through the channels the other day and PBS was airing a story on how hard the effect of the virus has been on ......illegal aliens.

Any of this, including testing is thankless. I don’t know why a lot of governors have high approval ratings with this issue. I feel sorry for most folks like Trump as they had no idea what was coming and had to basically re-tool from the ground up.
