60% of Independents Not Thrilled With Media Politicization of Coronavirus

It’s a disservice that the media is politicizing a public health crisis, but the demographic that ultimately decides elections isn’t buying it.

Dan Bongino| Matt Palumbo: In unison, the media has worked to create a narrative that the Trump administration botched their response to the Coronavirus outbreak – even while many of these same outlets downplayed the outbreak and denounced actions Trump had taken to combat its spread through travel bans in January.

Even in the time of a global pandemic, the media can’t help themselves in spreading fake news in an attempt to damage the Trump presidency. The media told us that Trump dismantled our nation’s pandemic response team – which wasn’t true. Despite (or perhaps because of) the untruth of the claim, over 100 outlets reported that falsehood.

After President Trump announced that Google would be helping create a website to facilitate testing, CNN reported that was a lie, and that Google had no knowledge of any such thing. They cited an unnamed source at Google for the claim – which was immediately met with a rebuttal from Google who clarified that they indeed were working on the website Trump described.

In a call with the nation’s governors, President Trump told them “Respirators, ventilators, all of the equipment – try getting it yourselves. We will be backing you, but try getting it yourselves. Point of sales, much better, much more direct if you can get it yourself.” After the New York Times reported that, two of their reporters posted the article to social media and cut to the quote after the first sentence to give the impression that Trump told the nation’s governors that they wouldn’t be getting any help. more

  1. MMT is going to be pushed as a solution. It’ll actually work for the short term, but long term we’re fucked. Once they start it won’t stop for a LOOOOONG time, if ever. Hyperinflation anyone?

    If obama was president right now, anything he did would be heroic according to his bootlickers.

  4. The media is doing something that will kick them and the democraps in the ass next November.

    People are seeing that only an imbecile would blame Trump for anything to do with the coronavirus.

    Their childish rants will seal Trump’s victory.
