Showing how the fake news media operates, CBS White House reporter Paula Reid asked 73-year-old President Donald Trump what he intends to do to deal with Depression levels of unemployment. Trump’s been advocating opening up the economy for weeks against the objections of infectious disease specialists concerned about more cases and deaths from the deadly coronvirus AKA SARS CoV-2 or Covid-19 crisis, leaving the U.S. today with 1,591,991 cases and 94,994 deaths. Trump was the first to push back on infectious disease experts, including 80-year-old National Institute’s of Health chief of infectious disease Dr. Anthony Fauci and State Department virologist Dr. Deborah Birx. Both experts urged Trump to issue “shelter in place” orders Mach 19, shutting down the U.S. economy. Trump acquiesced, watching unprecedented damage to the U.S. economy, from a record 3.5% unemployment rate to near 20%.
In a feisty exchange with Trump yesterday, Reid hit Trump hard for the nation’s insufferable unemployment rate. “Mr. President, why haven’t you announced a plan to get 36 million unemployment Americans back to work? You are overseeing historic economic despair. What is the delay? Where is the plan,” asked Reid. Reid’s questions shows for all to see how the fake news media operates. Incorporate Democrat talking points into your question, which, in effect, blames Trump for the record unemployment. Reid and her colleagues blamed Trump for daring to ask that the country’s economy opens up at the earliest possible time. Reid was the first to blame Trump for putting the economy over human lives. Now that it’s a Democrat talking point, Reid goes for the jugular, blaming Trump for the economic mess. When Trump responds, it becomes another Democrat talking point.
No one has pushed back harder about reopening the country than Trump, accused by Democrats and the press of disregarding the health of U.S. citizens to help the economy. “Oh, I think we have announced a plan. We are opening up our country—just a rude person, you are. We are opening up our country and we’re opening it up very fast . . “ Trump said to Reid. Yet the press reports Trump’s response as if he has no right to defend himself against baseless accusations. “Where is the plan,” Reid asked, knowing that Trump is the only one with a plan to get people back to work. If the country listened to infectious disease experts, Democrats or the press, you’d think that more stimulus checks or unemployment benefits is the way to go. Trump urged throughout the shutdown, in the strongest possible way, to reopen the country at the earliest possible time.
Trump tried to explain to Reid that the White House plan was to open up the country as soon as possible. “The plan is each state is opening and it is opening up very effectively, and when you see the numbers I think even you will be impressed, which is pretty hard to impress you,” Trump said to Reid. If you listen to the media’s report, Trump lambasted Reid for asking an innocent question. Reid’s question was designed to make Trump look like a fool, like he trashed the U.S. economy. When Trump heard a presentation April 24 by Homeland Security Science and Technology Chief Bill Bryan about how the coronvirus was killed by sunlight and household disinfectants, Trump wondered out loud whether that could happen inside the body. When reported in the press, Trump’s statements were twisted to say Trump urged people to drink Clorox Bleach or Lysol disinfectant.
When it comes to Trump’s enemies in the press, they find anything he says objectionable. At Trump’s daily coronavirus briefing Tuesday, May 19, Trump admitted to taking anti-malarial drug hydroychloroquine as a preventive treatment. By the time Trump was finished, the press reported Trump urged U.S. citizens to take a dangerous medication, causing life-threatening heart arrhythmias. Trump’s comment prompted Fox New daytime host Neil Cavuto to warn his audience not to follow Trump’s advice taking hydroxychloroquine, saying, “This stuff can kill you.” Yet plenty of doctors around the country treat patients with hydroxychloroquine, azithromax [Z-Pak] and zinc, a protocol used by world famous Marseille-based French infectious disease specialist Dr. Didier Raoult to treat Covid-19. Yet if you listen to Cavuto or others in the press Trump has done something reckless and self-destructive.
When it comes to the press dealing with Trump, they don’t ask questions to inform the public, they use Democrat talking points to ask questions to discredit the president anyway possible. Trump takes hydroxychloroquine under the direction of White House physician Sean Conley, M.D. If the press has a problem with hydroxychloroquine they should take it up with the medical community. When it comes to the economy, the press rejoices in how widespread “shelter in place” orders go, knowing the devastation to the U.S. economy. Democrats and he press operate on former President Bill Clinton’s edict, “It’s the economy, stupid.” If the economy tanks, Trump doesn’t deserve a second term. It’s that simple for the press. Forget the fact that pressure from infectious disease experts shut down the economy to slow the coronavirus spread to save lives, something Trump accepted but didn’t like.
