Media Bias Tag

As the rest of the world battles a deadly pandemic, the media elites suffer from an acute case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.  It's so acute, that they are seemingly completely focused on tearing down the president at this time of national (and global) crisis.  It's a losing strategy, but it's the only thing they can manage.

I was interviewed by a major media outlet today about my take on media coverage of Trump's handling of the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic. Let's see if any of it runs. One point I made is that it is clear that the major media (NYT, WaP0 and the networks other than Fox) frame their coverage and questions so at to seek soundbites that can be used against Trump. It's always a set up, and Trump doesn't fall for it and pushes back, and then we have a dust up.

As President Donald Trump promised during Monday's Coronavirus Task Force briefing, Tuesday's session would have math, statistics, and charts. The 2-hour briefing offered highly detailed information on the modeling that the federal Task Force is using to make decisions and inform the states. As is often the case, the most crucial portion may have been the media exchange that occurred after the initial presentation.

Okay, yeah, the mainstream media totally sticks to the nonpartisan position they should all have. I blogged about how Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi ruined the bipartisan stimulus bill in the Senate. The New York Times used a correct headline the first time but changed it two more times to move the blame away from the Democrats.
