    The "media" is not reporting on Trump. They are attacking Trump, mischaracterizing everything, going with fake news, etc.

    55% realize that.

    Fear mongering? Today I saw on Fox News that the hospitals in NYC are now in desperate straights. today I heard about a 49 year old diagnosed with C-19 who died sitting in a chair waiting for them to get to him. Not bad enough? lets see what you think tomorrow. or in a week


    Have they?

    And his approval of the Wuhu response keeps on rising. Despite all the Lame Stream Media and Democrats do. Despite the Democrat supporters becoming unhinged.

    Very true. Just before 9/11 happened, Comedy Central had a show that parodied the moron Bush. "That's My Bush". It portrayed Dubyah as the bumbling idiot that he was.

    It was obviously taken off the air right after the attack. The nation huddled together and 'hoped' that the fool would come through for the nation.


    trump spends every day bashing anyone who tells the truth about his inability to lead. It's no wonder that the media gets approval ratings equal to his.

    What’s interesting is that the increase in Trump’s approval numbers is having no effect on election polling. The Fox News poll from yesterday has him losing to Biden by 9 points. As I said earlier, there is a rally around rate flag effect during a national emergency that leads some people to become more supportive of the president, no matter who it is. But, clearly, those people are not changing their intention to vote Trump out of office in November.

    Two misharacterizations.

    1. Trump attacks those who attack him. Everyone knows that, but the "media" and left hide behind their "truth" meme.

    2. The Gallop poll had only 38% approve of the media's handling of the virus crisis. Trump is at 60%. If you consider that to be equal then you are either very bad with numbers, or you are a propagandist.

    Trump hasn't started campaigning against Dementia Joe yet. When he does two things will happen. First Joe's numbers will drop as people realize Joe has dementia, or some other serious brain troubles. Second, the "media's" numbers will drop as people realize, again, that the "media" is lying to them.

    Trump is leading from the front. The guy has no limits to his energy and no problem telling the fake news what he thinks of them. The business world likes having a business man at the helm and thats the only thing thats keeping the economy from collapsing. If Biden was up there slurring for 3 mins at a time everyone owning a stock would be selling it and heading to Alaska to sit out the Depression Looming, as it is there is still hope for a come back.

    If Obama was in he'd be apologizing to the Chinese for spreading their virus while praising their wild animal, dog meat buffet's. I think this will be Trumps finest hour. Boy between Feinstein dumping her stocks and Polosi's virus bill pork shenanigans, fake news, Hillary and her tweet, the left has rightfully taken a hit.

    Here we find a prime example of why we the people completely despise both the leftist and their supporters in the press. They have an overwhelming history of belittling the rest of us because as NPR used to say "We have a masters degree, we know more than you do". Arrogant little bird droppings.

    Most of the Hot spots in the US are in states that Demos govern. Let them stay on lockdown and tank their state's economy. Don't give them bail outs, federal funding and keep them quarantined from the rest of the country.

    Eventually the Demos voters will riot and protest them. Maybe even send Aunty Fa out for them.

    Americans Deserve Better Than the Media Is Giving Them

    Having failed in their first two prolonged attempts to derail President Donald J. Trump’s administration and drive him from office, the media has seized upon a new weapon: the Chinese coronavirus.


    As during the Russia collusion conspiracy fabrication and the concocted Ukraine impeachment fiasco, media reporting on the virus has exposed many journalists’ true aim: causing political harm to President Trump no matter the cost to the country, to the accuracy of their stories, or to their own journalistic reputations.

    The most egregious example came from the tragic story of an Arizona couple who ingested aquarium parasite treatment chemicals, thinking that the fish tank cleaner would serve as medicine to ward off the coronavirus. The husband died and the wife wound up in the hospital.


    This is a heartbreaking story that proved too tantalizing for NBC, which laid the blame for the incident squarely on Trump.


    Though the president had spoken only about the prospects of a different – actually medicinal – chemical being properly administered by doctors, numerous other media outlets picked up the piece and amplified it. These “journalists” practically turned the sad incident into a murder case against the president in a brazen attempt to inflict political damage.



    From the very beginning of the outbreak, the media teamed with Democrats to ferociously attack Trump’s handling of the situation, undermining the federal response efforts and whipping up public hysteria. Seeing this, the president harkened back to the Russia collusion and Ukraine episodes and referred to the misleading Democrat and media coronavirus onslaught as “their new hoax.”


    Right on cue, the media purposely warped this remark and repackaged it to make it appear as though Trump had called the virus itself a hoax, conjuring the fallacy that he believed the crisis did not even exist.

    Despite numerous independent fact-checkers debunking this lie, mainstream media figures and Democrats and the media continue to promote it or allow the falsehood to be spread unchallenged. This journalistic malpractice has allowed Joe Biden and his Democrat allies to include the lie in advertising, only emphasizing the media’s complicity in dispending misinformation.

    Read the rest of the article to see how the "media" is not reporting on SARS-CoV2- it is using its role to attack the President.
