"Elite Media" Spreading Malicious Lies About Govt. Response to CCP Virus
Just when you thought that the lies and hype from the biased elite media could not get any more irresponsible.
RACIST!!!!
The Democrats and their elite media allies accused President Trump of racism for restricting travel from virus impacted areas. Then after the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) accused US military personnel of spreading it Trump dug in his heels on calling it the Chinese Wuhan Virus, as that is where it came from. The media tried the race card again. [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5PB5jLG2E0]
Apparently, Democrats have never heard of common maladies such as German Measles, Spanish Flu, West Nile Virus or the domestic pandemic called Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Well, of course, they have, because they did it first:

It has all backfired and Trump's approval rating went up.
The Sky Is Falling!!
The next tactic the elite media Democrats employed was to work to trash the economy by spreading fear and doomsday scenarios. Trump has enjoyed the highest approval rating on the economy of any president in the last 20 years.
While the examples are too numerous to list, this AP story comes complete with all the buzzwords such as panic, gloom, and chaos. The Drudge Report has been completely irresponsible for some time leaving the world wondering, as it is obvious, why isn't Matt Drudge running his web site anymore?
MSNBC reported that 50% of the country could die from the CCP Virus, they later issued a correction on their twitter feed, how brave.
Dr. Drew Pinsky slammed the press for their panic mentality:
A bad flu season is 80,000 dead, we’ve got about 18,000 dead from influenza this year, we have a hundred from corona. Which should you be worried about influenza or Corona? A hundred versus 18,000? It’s not a trick question. And look, everything that’s going on with the New York cleaning the subways and everyone using Clorox wipes and get your flu shot, which should be the other message, that’s good. That’s a good thing, so I have no problem with the behaviors. What I have a problem with is the panic and the fact that businesses are getting destroyed that people’s lives are being upended, not by the virus, but by the panic. The panic must stop. And the press, they really somehow need to be held accountable because they are hurting people.
Just how sensationalized? AMAC, the Association of Mature American Citizens posted this graphic on media mentions of the CCP Virus as compared to previous pandemics (especially under Obama) as of March 14th and the difference is ….well see for yourself. This is why you can't find toilet paper to buy:
President Trump has had enough and lit up an NBC pinhead spreading sensationalism: [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_G4hTJX1Xw]
Censor Trump! Stop The Press Briefings! Make Stuff Up!
President Trump along with senior medical and emergency management officials have been giving regular live-streamed and televised briefings to inform the American people and get around dishonest media filters. The people have responded well to the attempt at transparency so, of course, reporters have been brazenly lying about the content of the briefings while others are calling for the briefings to go uncovered so the American people cannot see for themselves.
Let's start with the lies.
MSNBC falsely reported, with others spreading it, that Trump said that the CPP Virus is a hoax. The video MSNBC used was maliciously edited.
Those calling for calm and perspective in light that previous pandemics have been much worse found themselves censored by Facebook. When Rush Limbaugh quoted sourced material showing how the H1N1 pandemic under Obama was much worse, Facebook flagged it, claiming that their approved fact-checker said Limbaugh was wrong, but it turns out that Limbaugh was correct. The numbers Limbaugh cited are from a credible academic source posted at the bottom of this column.
Come to find out that said fact-checker was a director at CNN International which is widely understood to be fake news central:
The New York Times falsely and maliciously reported that President Trump told states that they were on their own when it comes to getting medical supplies. The Times snipped a partial quote from the president and manufactured a lie around it to report.
CNN, along with many others maliciously reported that Trump lied to America when he claimed that the FDA approved a malaria drug for use against the CCP Virus. Except, that is clearly and obviously not what Trump said as the complete transcript of these pressers, as well as the video, are posted by the White House.
Once again the transcript makes it clear that Trump said that the mentioned malaria drug has been used successfully in some limited trials in Europe. Trump explained how the FDA is now testing it for the CCP virus and how the Right to Try Law allows states and doctors to use the drug as they deem appropriate. Read it all for yourself HERE.
The Gallup Corporation reports that Americans largely approve how President Trump is handling the CCP Virus response by 60%. Predictably, some reporters who rely on the First Amendment have been the first to abandon it in the name of "The Resistance" calling for the government's press briefings to be censored.
The Washington Post has straight-up called for the media to simply not cover the popular briefings live and only report the briefings through their own ...filter. This is the same newspaper that knowingly put us through the Russian collusion hoax for three years, actively tried to cover for Obama Administration spying on the Trump campaign, put us through the Valerie Plame/Joe Wilson hoax, etc. https://twitter.com/Sulliview/status/1241403655162597376
CNN and MSNBC were blasted on social media for cutting their coverage while their opinion hosts have called for the networks to cease coverage of the government briefings.
Blame Trump for Pre-Trump Regulations!
But Mr. President why don't we have these test kits like South Korea, what is the hold-up? It's your fault!
If you have been watching the government briefings we have all seen reporters getting on a soapbox to lob accusations at the president in the form of a ridiculous question, even though in the briefings the President and senior government officials have explained all of this and what they have done/are doing about it.
Legendary journalist John Stossel made a video where he reports some things that President Trump has done right that he has not gotten credit for in eliminating a pandemic of truly stupid government red tape:
South Korea allows private companies to make tests for disease, old FDA regulations would not allow our private companies to make these tests insisting that they make a CDC test that as of yet did not exist. Trump reversed those regulations.
Telemedicine was illegal as the FDA said that it could violate patient privacy. Trump reversed it.
The FDA under Public Law 105-33 said that certain hospitals can only set aside 25 beds for emergencies. Trump reversed that.
Regulations also make it illegal for a nurse or a doctor to go to another state and practice medicine. Those regulations are now being adjusted, but Trump does not have the authority to repeal the state regulations, just the federal ones.
Smears and censorship have been the stock in trade of the elite media for far too long and now their resistance is endangering all of us. Perhaps what really needs to be quarantined is a malicious and irresponsible elite media that has made a choice to resist rather than report.

The first confirmed H1N1/09 pandemic flu death, which occurred at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, Texas, was of a toddler from Mexico City who was visiting family in Brownsville, Texas, before being air-lifted to Houston for treatment.[160] The Infectious Diseases Society of America estimated that the total number of deaths in the U.S. was 12,469.[161]
