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.
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.
During one of President Trump's daily coronavirus briefings, he was offering an optimistic view of drugs becoming available for treatment of the virus when an NBC reporter interrupted to ask if the president could be giving a "False sense of hope." In practically the next breath, the reporter reversed his line of attack and asked, "What do you say to Americans who are scared, though?".
Naturally, the reporter immediately took to MSNBC to misrepresent the exchange and claim that he was only giving the president a chance to speak to frightened citizens, which is exactly what the president had been doing before being interrupted.
Another case of news media omitting parts of a quote and promoting only the section that they believed harmed the president came following a phone call Trump had with governors of states.
Americans can see that President Trump is out front and leading the country through this dangerous crisis.
