The media have been doing their part in stoking the flames of paranoia and fear around the coronavirus with story after story pushing the narrative the Trump administration has not done enough to protect the country from this WORLD-ENDING VIRUS.
We get that they have a job to do, and that job is doing as much damage to the Trump campaign as possible, and if that means terrifying the masses and tanking the economy via pushing fake news and conspiracies then so be it. Right?
Brit Hume shared a thread highlighting the media’s reaction to Trump’s earliest steps in protecting this country … the travel ban.
Fri Jan 31, 2020, a few weeks before #Coronavirus has officially spread to other countries (which led to the bad stock market week Feb 24-Feb 28), the Trump Admin announced travel restrictions on China. Here is some of the reporting it generated. Take Politico of 2/4/20.
But you know, Trump and his administration didn’t react quickly enough or something.
If the Obama administration had taken these sorts of steps they’d have been praising them for protecting this country. But since it’s Trump …
At the end of the article, paragraph 20 onward, did Politico finally have a few quotes backing the Trump Admin's early public efforts on Corona which, again, was almost 3 weeks before it was reported to have reached Italy, S. Korea and so on.
