This is pure gaslighting from Omar. I saw the original tweets myself before they were deleted. She linked to an Act Blue site, theGMCC director said she had no idea about it, & Omar deleted.

Glad they fixed the miscommunication, but don’t attack those who noticed.
Omar used a Dem fundraising tool to solicit funds, then deleted when called out. I’m glad that they have now confirmed the funds will go to the right place, but her calling it “deliberate disinformation” makes it seem like they made it up.

If so, why did she delete?
You can go on the Pro Publica site tracking deleted tweets from members of Congress to see @IlhanMN 's deleted the original after 4 hours.

Talk about intentional disinformation...

It's helpful because it's accurate. People in the press need to be held accountable for doing a bad job because their failures have had real consequences. Especially when it comes to how they have covered various states.
One of the things I wrote about for tomorrow's AG Report is just how much harm came out of the press giving Cuomo a pass while wrongly focusing all their criticism on DeSantis. It allowed NY to avoid taking actions that could have saved many lives for months.
I'm sorry if that reality makes some people uncomfortable, but it should lead to some self-reflection from the press. ESPECIALLY those who have seen and felt the devastation in NY. How did your colleagues screw these stories up so badly and how will they avoid it next time?

NY's political leadership completely failed their residents throughout this crisis.

This same NYC Health Commissioner was actively urging New Yorkers not to change any of their behavior in early March, denying need for self-quarantines, and insisting the subway was safe.
De Blasio, Barbot, Levine, Cuomo...

These people should all be facing public shaming and endless scrutiny. They helped turn America's biggest city into a disaster zone. Instead there has been no accountability.
There are obviously things that Trump is responsible for at fed level, but the disaster in NYC can't be compared to anywhere else and was also responsible for extensive spread. There are other factors (population, transportation etc), but their failures clearly played a role.

This isn't meant to pick on one particular person, but it demonstrates how questionable media coverage is skewing perceptions.

A lot of people (esp in media) started w presumption that Dem Governors were doing things right & R Governors were screwing up. Regardless of results.
Florida has done exceptionally well (thus far), especially given their elderly population. But DeSantis has been skewered in the press. Georgia has also done ~ok, but Kemp has been treated as biggest screwup in the country. Their personal numbers have taken a huge hit.
We can argue over whether the Governors are directly responsible for the outcomes but impossible to compare to the coverage/approvals of Cuomo in NY (where things are a disaster and can be at least partially tied to his decisions), and not conclude much of the coverage was wrong.
