Alternate Headline: Americans Denied Life-Saving Supplies By Trump in Horrifying Crime Against Humanity.
This is what really drives me nuts. The papers and media of record have to take every story, no matter how horrific, no matter how much a crisis it represents, and then numb it down until it is "acceptable," even if it doesn't reflect objective reality.
Trump is literally killing thousands upon thousands of Americans in an act of political genocide. He's damning Americans to lonely, agonizing deaths because he expects political fealty and worship.

That is one of the most consequential stories. Ever. And it's just...this mush.
The people sitting in their offices and conference rooms and at their desks know that a horrifying injustice is being committed. They see it happening. They have power to at least bring it to the light.

And yet. This garbage. And the truth is moved to like the 12th graf.
The media has been trained by Right Wing criticism and their own fears of their own bias that they can no longer report objective reality.

Trump uses that against them. This criminal enterprise uses the media inability to actually report the news to further their interests.

I hate to tell you, but as somebody from rural America, there are going to be so many uncounted deaths during this pandemic.

Poor Americans are taught not to get medical care, are riddled with preexisting conditions, and local journalism has been absolutely destroyed.
The pandemic is seeping into rural America right now and it's going to devastate communities, most of them through service jobs and retirement homes, and the media isn't going to notice or cover any of it as the narrative turns toward this thing being over.
These communities are just now being touched by the pandemic and many of them have been told by Fox News and the president that it's a political hoax.

The consequences are going to be horrific, and the media is simply not going to notice or tell their stories.

What you need to understand is that there is no "Trump Administration."

There's the illusion of a Trump Administration that's used by a cadre of anti-government criminals who only pretend to govern while actively working to dismantle governance.

There’s literally no possibility of an effective federal response to the pandemic. This federal government doesn’t believe in a responsibility to help anyone or serve anyone.

To Trump and his conspirators the federal government is merely an impediment that must be removed.
Our conception of a president is a politician tasked with running the country while attempting to protect us and make our lives better.

Trump isn’t a president. He’s a criminal using the presidency as cover to destroy government as we know it. Helping us isn’t a priority.

No conversation about this pandemic is complete without mentioning that the Right’s assault on education and continual undermining of science and experts, all done to enable control and help corporations stave off public unrest, created a perfect environment for mass tragedy.
The Right’s distrust of science and education didn’t happen by accident. It was systematic and intentional. Now, faced with a scientific problem and in need of expertise, large swathes of the nation have been taught to distrust and despise both.
The coronavirus pandemic is an amalgam of all of America’s problems. Its corrupted political system. Its top-down, profit-over-people economy. Its decaying infrastructure and by-design obsolete and cruel healthcare system. Our embattled, undermined educational system. All of it.
