It's always the media. Is the media telling the people of California to shelter in place? Did the media postpone the Ohio primary election? Is the media making the guidelines for the businesses in NY state?
THE MEDIA REPORTS IT! That's it! They report on a disease in China that seems to be spreading quickly. They report on the increase of cases locally and around the world. They report (using video) of the POTUS saying it is a hoax and its under control, and it will just go away and that he takes no responsibility at all. They report on the stock market collapse. They report on Trump saying things in his press conferences that are quickly refuted by the experts on his team.
This situation sucks for everyone. Do the right thing and try to stop the spread.
Jesus all you pull out they are reporting is negative this, negative that. Are they reporting the great work others on his team are doing? Not really, too easy to throw darts at POTUS. Do you give credit that Dr. Birx has worked with the declination of AIDS under Obama, and Pence is at least smart enough to have her overseeing Response Coordination of this Covid-19 issue? Is that something you can bring up they are reporting on? Nah, because you always bring up Trump firing Pandemic Response Team, blah blah blah ad nauseam, nothing positive. You tried, and I agree with you, that the daily reportings are good but he should just stay quiet for the most part.
Last question, it seems that Betone and yyz both admitted they thought not much about this early on like most of us. You guys probably discussed while golfing and not thinking much of it. However, were you jumping up and down at them on your golf trip a couple weeks back saying something should be done NOW!! Or better yet do you have posts here to share that showed you were screaming about pandemic response team back in December, January, and early February and how we need them? Please share with us how you would have been on top of this more than anyone else. Please share postings. Thanks.
