The racism narrative overshadowed the much more important point reporter Weijia Jiang highlighted, which is the media's consistent defense of China and downplaying of American exceptionalism. The media establishment has become an absolute clown show, with CBS News White House correspondent Weijia Jiang cast as the ringleader during Monday’s press briefing circus. Instead of asking President Donald Trump any relevant question as a means to better inform Americans amid the pandemic, Jiang opted for grandstanding with a question about as frivolous as the infamous “Is Chinese food racist?”“You’ve said many times that the U.S. is doing far better than any...

President Donald Trump abruptly ended a coronavirus press briefing on Monday after he was challenged by an Asian American reporter for CBS News why he told her to “ask China” about coronavirus testing, and later by a CNN correspondent who tried to ask further queries. Weijia Jiang asked Trump why he was emphasizing that the U.S. was doing better than any other country when it comes to testing. “Why does that matter? Why is this a global competition to you if every day Americans are still losing their lives and we are still seeing more cases every day?” she asked....

President Trump was in no mood for gotcha questions during Monday's press conference in the Rose Garden. Trump was first asked by CBS White House correspondent Weijia Jiang why he views the ability to test people for the Wuhan coronavirus as a "global competition" as people in America are "still losing their lives" every day. "You have said many times that the U.S. Is doing far better than any other country when it comes to testing. Why does that matter? Why is it global competition to you if every day Americans are still losing their lives and we are still...

Yesterday, CBS News White House correspondent Weijia Jiang promised that she had “a lot of questions” to ask Donald Trump at today’s COVID19 press briefing . . . Here’s what she apparently had in mind: Reporter (Jiang): Why is this a global competition [on testing] to you if every day Americans are still losing their lives… Trump: That’s a question you should ask China. Don’t ask me… R: Sir, why are you saying that to me specifically? T: I’m not saying it specifically to anybody

Top government officials slammed CBS News’ “60 Minutes” after co-host Scott Pelley ran a segment on Sunday night that contained false and misleading claims on certain aspects of the Trump administration’s response to the pandemic, which originated in Wuhan, China. The segment begins by falsely suggesting that the United States federal government has “been less than honest” about the coronavirus pandemic just like the Chinese Communist Party. Some of the actions taken by the Chinese communist government to hide the truth about the coronavirus pandemic that started in their country include: Some of the actions taken by the Chinese communist...

NBC's Chuck Todd played a deceptively edited clip of Attorney General William Barr's response to a question regarding the attorney general's decision to dismiss charges against former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. Not only were Barr's comments taken out of context, Chuck Todd accused Barr of not citing "the rule of law" when the attorney general specifically stated the "rule of law" in his answer. "In closing, this was a big decision in the Flynn case, to say the least. When history looks back on this decision, how do you think it will be written? What will it say...

Washington-- When Congress passed its $2 trillion economic relief package in response to the coronavirus epidemic battering the country, lawmakers provided relief to Americans, small businesses struggling under the economic pain of the crisis and state and local governments on the frontlines of combatting the virus. But mayors in small and medium-sized communities from coast to coast are sounding the alarm after they were left out of the package, despite facing the same cash crunch as their larger neighbors. Only localities with populations of 500,000 were eligible for direct aid under the law, known as the CARES Act. Those cities...

[Mamaroneck, N.Y.—May 6, 2020] A CBS News crew pulled medical professionals off the floor at the Cherry Medical Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to line up in their vehicles so a CBS film crew would have a long line for their COVID-19 coverage. 'We Could Have Done Other Stuff,” Registered Nurse complains. ‘Apparently, the news crew wanted more people in the line,’ said a Cherry Health Supervisor. “We pretended. There were a couple of real patients, which made it worse,” Said Another Registered Nurse. [Mamaroneck, N.Y.—May 6, 2020] A CBS News crew pulled medical professionals off the floor at the...

Economic expertise and crisis management skills are top qualities Democratic voters want to see in a vice-presidential pick for their party - even more so than executive or legislative experience - as concerns about the pandemic and the economy now become a lens through which voters see that selection process. Those criteria become even more important to Democrats who are very concerned about either their own job losses, or contracting the coronavirus themselves. Elizabeth Warren is well atop Democratic voters' list of those who should be considered for vice president - with 71% saying she should be - and Warren...

Five weeks and 19 interviews later, presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden has not been asked directly about the substantiated sexual assault accusations from Tara Reade. Joe Biden might not be guilty. But the corporate media is.Here’s what we know. We know Tara Reade alleges that in 1993 her boss, Sen. Joe Biden, sexually assaulted her, and we know that five people have thus far corroborated her claim she told them about this at the time. We know that, and we know that Vice President Biden denies committing sexual assault, and further, denies his office even received a complaint.Next, we...

In a wide-ranging interview with CBS Miami, the presumptive Democratic nominee talked Cuba, Venezuela and immigration as well as President Trump’s response to the coronavirus.

Stacey Abrams is taking a break from running Georgia to campaign to be former Vice President Joe Biden’s running mate. Pretty soon, she’ll be calling the veepstakes rigged, dragging the Democratic National Committee as racist, and claiming to be the nominee anyway. It’s become her signature formula since failing to capture the Georgia governor’s mansion in 2018. Just a year and a half later, ambition has once again come calling. This time it brings the romance novelist one step closer to reaching her self-inspired destiny of clinching power in the White House. Maybe the 27 lost souls in the Democratic...

CBS This Morning anchor and Barack Obama donor Gayle King gushed over Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams on Tuesday morning, saying the former state legislator and failed gubernatorial candidate is "extremely qualified" to be vice president of the United States. Abrams is openly lobbying to serve as Joe Biden's running mate come November, despite never being elected to any office beyond the state legislature. As she touted her voting rights work and "competence and skills and willingness to serve," King cut in to praise her as ready to be a heartbeat away from the presidency. "That's a great nuts and bolts...

When the price of U.S. oil crashed below $0 on Monday, lefty Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) sent out a disgusting tweet praising the coronavirus-induced crash. She later deleted the tweet, and the cat caught all three major evening news broadcasts by the tongue. AOC’s vile tweet was a response to another tweet suggesting that “oil producers have to pay people to take [the oil] off their hands,” according to Market Watch. She said, “You absolutely love to see it. This along with record low interest rates means it’s the right time for a worker-led, mass investment in green infrastructure to...

As we reported today during a press briefing at the White House on Monday, President Donald Trump berated CBS correspondent Paula Reid for challenging his decision making in the early stages of the coronavirus outbreak. Reid attacked President Trump, repeatedly interrupted him. She was a TOTAL DISGRACE! President Trump rightfully called her out, “You know you’re a fake.

Reid was positioned directly across the...

CBS’s Paula Reid was on fire during Monday’s Presidential task force press conference about COVID-19. She started by demeaning Dr. Fauci by asking him a question that implied he’s either hostage to or a puppet of President Trump. That was just a warm-up. Later in the press conference, she started shrieking at President Trump that a video he had shown earlier in the press conference misrepresented his affirmative response to COVID-19 because it implied that he was on top of things in February. A visibly irritated Trump answered that, in fact, he had taken many steps during February to respond...

Democrats and their liberal media want desperately to smear and attack President Trump for his coronavirus record. The Democrats want to rewrite history over Trump’s handling of the pandemic. As part of his unhinged press briefing at the White House Monday, President Donald Trump berated CBS correspondent Paula Reid for challenging his decision making in the early stages of the coronavirus outbreak. Reid attacked President Trump, repeatedly interrupted him. She was a TOTAL DISGRACE! President Trump rightfully called her out, “You know you’re a fake. Your whole network… The people are wise to you!” Ahead of the explosive confrontation, Trump...

Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. today filed a lawsuit against WJFW-NBC of Rhinelander, WI for defamation in the wake of an advertisement carried by the station that contained intentionally false and defamatory statements about President Trump. The ad produced by Priorities USA, a super PAC supporting Joe Biden’s candidacy, and broadcast by WJFW-NBC, used digitally manipulated clips of President Trump’s voice to fabricate unsubstantiated meaning in the President’s words. The suit, filed in Price County, WI circuit court, followed a cease-and-desist letter and supporting documentation sent on March 25, 2020. In spite of the letter and documentation, WJFW-NBC continued...

Dr. Anthony Fauci joins "CBS This Morning" after he and other medical experts credited Americans as well as the mitigation efforts of state and local governments for what they say are signs that the coronavirus' spread is slowing. However, he warned that the next few weeks will be critical and that models may continue to display a downward trend if Americans "redouble our efforts" at social distancing and other precautions.

CBS News is stepping on all the fake news rakes this week. First, the network aired misleading footage for its New York City Wuhan coronavirus story by broadcasting footage of an Italian hospital that was overrun with Wuhan coronavirus patients. Then, the network apologized and said it was an editing error before re-airing the same footage for a story about a hospital in Pennsylvania. CBS News then peddled another bogus story about a nurse who quit her job due to a lack of personal protection equipment, which was not vetted at all. And now, we have remarks being cut for...
