Giving Trump the credit he is due

The Massive Trump Coronavirus Supply Effort that the Media Loves to Hate

The administration has used deft improvisation to secure huge supplies of PPE. There is a new cardinal rule in journalism — never write anything favorable about the Trump administration’s coronavirus response, even about its successes.

It’s why the story of how the administration handled the potential ventilator crisis has gone almost entirely untold, and why its effort to secure supplies of personal protective equipment, or PPE, has been gotten largely skeptical or hostile coverage.

The legacy media is so invested in anti-Trump narratives that they allow blatant lies to pass unchallenged.

Senator Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) has repeatedly said that the president needed a military leader to take charge of the supply chain — when Admiral Polowczyk, the vice director of logistics for the joint chiefs, was already in charge.

Orange Man Bad. That's the lead story – often the only story – on CNN every night. As a result, they have become enablers of scam artists.

Stories in the press have tended to relay complaints that FEMA has “commandeered” supplies headed for states or other entities. According to FEMA, this is erroneous. After looking into supposed instances of commandeering, Gaynor says, FEMA believes that shady brokers have been using this line an excuse for their own failures. “FEMA has become a convenient scapegoat for malicious actors who are unable to deliver on the promises they had made or are engaging in illegal activity,” he says.

Even worse, the prevailing narratives obscure the shocking death toll in nursing homes. No one in the MSM seems interested in holding anyone accountable for the tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths.

Kaus-Reynolds with a vengence*

The Cuomo brothers made for good theater. They bashed Trump, issued dire warnings of impending doom, posed as defenders of the vulnerable, bantered like frat boys. Fredo even suffered in his basement – quarantined after he caught the Corona virus.

It was all lies, a series of performances, a ploy for TV ratings, for poll numbers, maybe a spot on the 2020 ticket.

CNN missed one of the biggest stories of our time. It played out under their noses in NYC. Instead they created “The COVID Chronicles with the Cuomo Bros". Everyone had a great time except for the senior citizens who suffered and died alone and their grieving families.

The press has utterly failed to live up to the ideals it espouses. Few members of the Guild seem concerned about this. It is pretty clear that the MSM is best seen as the propaganda organ for the Leninoid wing of the DNC.
