re-posting this from 13 months ago in light of news that (surprise!) Trump team hid Covid info and let people die on purpose; pressrun.media/p/of-course-tr…
all of this was painfully obvious in 2020 but press was too scared to say so
"Relentlessly giving him the benefit of the doubt, the press stressed Trump was "slow" to respond, and "missed" the Covid-19 warnings — he just didn't "see" it coming, which is why America's response has been so pitiful, incoherent and deadly. "
still boggles the mind that TV news aired Trump's daily pandemic briefings where he lied nonstop abt a public health crisis
Trump gave stand down order for the virus invasion, and press refused to say so

he took US vaccination rate from 1% to 75%

but that always gets flushed down memory hole in media “messaging” stories
can’t make this up. premise of WP piece is Biden refuses to talk abt how awful everything is !
last president lied every time his lips moved

WP hits Biden bc he’s not pessimistic enough

my latest— stop trying to rehab this guy; pressrun.media/p/good-grief-c…
“Despite his record as an established loser who voters now have an allergic reaction to, the mainstream media continue to love Christie and hold him up as an important voice in our political conversation.”
“It’s astonishing the lengths CNN will go to try to appeal to GOP viewers, in this case handing over an hour of programming to a has-been politician.”

it’s a total coincidence that Blitzer is tweeting out GOP talking points
ftr, Dow up 10,000 pts since Biden elected

for some reason Blitzer not tweeting out those numbers
ftr, unemployment down from 6.7% to 4.3% since Biden elected

for some reason Blitzer not tweeting those numbers

my latest—covering for GOP lies; pressrun.media/p/republicans-…
“Not only haven’t Republicans mapped out a new pro-education blueprint to win over suburban and swing voters nationwide, Republicans and conservatives have become even more proudly anti-education during the pandemic.”
“When CNN recently held Youngkin up as a new breed of Education Republican, aside from his made-up claims about critical race theory, they couldn’t point to a single education initiative he had championed during the campaign or would focus on as governor.”

my latest— the press needs a new script; pressrun.media/p/wave-of-good…
“Addicted to “Biden crisis” reporting since August, and often bending common sense in order to adhere to the Dems in Disarray narrative, the Beltway media now face a conundrum.”
Friday: 531k new jobs created

Friday: no mention of jobs report on NBC Nightly News or ABC World News Tonight

this ain’t normal, folks

😂😂

CNN finally did a Biden Voter story

…the ones who voted GOP this week; cnn.com/videos/politic…
ftr, these moms make no sense

they claim school closures during pandemic biggest issue

so they voted for Biden, who oversaw reopening of schools nationwide…and then voted for GOP last wk bc Dems not helping w/ schools

brilliant!!
every Republican member of congress voted against Covid relief bill which sent $$$ to help schools reopen

moms: GOP cares abt education!
