You know when President Trump is having a positive affect on the country, the leftist media want focus like a laser against him. The media’s ‘TDS’ and the fabrications they publish about him are well know. This week, they are upset about his task force briefings.

The media started by trying to create some kind of division between Trump and Fauci (false). They are trying to discredit hydroxychloroquine, one of the possible treatments for cornavirus patients. Now, since he is getting good poll numbers for his effective handling of the crisis so far, they just want the briefings to go away. Once demanding more press briefings, now they get one every day, and they don’t want it.

Trump’s daily coronavirus task force briefings are full of information and are transparent as to facts and issues. The team that the President has assembled and run by VP Pence is impressive & effective. It remains to be seen if any of what they are doing will have the desired effect, but in the meantime, while they are fighting the fire, the Democrats and the media are setting fires.

The latest fire – the media censoring the President’s task force briefings. They cannot get over the fact that they are not in control of the political messaging to the public. Messaging they have gotten used to owning for half a century, but no longer. And, when they try to spin what the President, and in this case his team is saying, they just look silly.

Where are the adults in the room?

Here is a sample of their madness:

The major broadcast networks — ABC, CBS, and NBC — all cut away from Trump’s briefing about 20 minutes in, The Associated Press reported. The cable news networks CNN and MSNBC followed suit after 7 p.m.A spokesman for CBS News told Insider that the network “plans to continue covering briefings whenever possible, but may cut away for regularly scheduled news broadcasts, which many viewers depend on for delivering objective reporting and context on the developments of the day.”

James Fallows, a longtime journalist for The Atlantic, also tweeted that “cable outlets should stop covering them live.”

On Tuesday, the Washington Post media columnist Margaret Sullivan declared that “the media must stop live-broadcasting Trump’s dangerous, destructive coronavirus briefings.”

“If the White House wants to ask for time on the network, they should make an official request. Otherwise we will make our own editorial decisions,” a CNN representative said in a statement relayed by the network’s media reporter Oliver Darcy.On Tuesday, KUOW followed suit, tweeting, “We will not be airing the briefings live due to a pattern of false or misleading information provided that cannot be fact checked in real time.”
