- Margaret Sullivan: "The media must stop live-broadcasting Trump's dangerous, destructive coronavirus briefings." — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) March 22, 2020 While Americans might not appreciate the media censoring the public health briefings, Sullivan had one fan in Communist China.
- When polls showed that President Donald Trump was receiving unusually high marks for his handling of the Coronavirus pandemic, the first stage of grief the media went through was denial: The political media have been working extremely hard to craft a narrative that the spread of the coronavirus was essentially the fault of the man they had blamed for all other ills in recent years.
- Lijian Zhao, the spokesperson & Deputy Director General of the Information Department in communist China’s Foreign Ministry retweeted MSNBC’s Kyle Griffin, who had tweeted out in support of Sullivan’s censorship plan: Ted Koppel told the New York Times, “Training a camera on a live event, and just letting it play out, is technology, not journalism; journalism requires editing and context.” While it’s true that good journalists will provide context, that’s precisely what’s been missing in their histrionic and sensationalized coverage of this global pandemic.
- How could the people not accept that narrative, particularly considering that most everyone in the media was pushing it? Things got worse when additional polls showed Trump receiving high ratings at the same time that the media received poor ratings.
