Media Double Standard: Censor Trump's Briefings, Air China's Propaganda

Actress Jane Lynch demanded on Twitter on Monday that President Donald Trump end his daily press briefings and that the media stop covering them.

Perhaps worst of all, some major media outlets actually seem to be taking the ending of press briefing coverage seriously.

New York Times Executive Editor Dean Baquet explained why the Gray Lady doesn't find the White House briefings worth covering.

A March 25 New York Times article suggested that the media stop covering Trump's press briefings because they are spreading what it calls "Misinformation."

Just as bad, in the Times' view, the briefings are popular.

Margaret Sullivan, media columnist at The Washington Post, wrote that the press needs to "Adjust accordingly" to the press briefings because, in her view, they are more like political rallies and might serve his political ends.

This is basically just saying that the media need to stop covering the White House coronavirus briefings because they might help Trump.
