CDC

Thursday’s White House Press Briefing featured more of the same with deflections from Press Secretary Jen Psaki as she downplayed the view of CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky that teacher vaccinations shouldn’t be a prerequisite to school reopenings and refused to state whether, if forced to pick a side, the administration would side with students over teachers unions.

Considering that the journalists at MSNBC consider Democrats the party of science and Republicans the party of collecting magic beans, it's not surprising that Rachel Maddow on Friday tried to spin life for Anthony Fauci under Trump as a nightmare. She lamented the "tough" times he endured under the previous president.  (But the vaccine was developed under which president?) 

On Thursday’s New Day, CNN hosts John Berman and Alisyn Camerota hurled juvenile attacks at President Trump over his public disagreement with CDC director Robert Redfield on masks. Camerota said Trump was "escalating his war on facts and science." Berman said "He also lies about everything from crowd sizes to injecting disinfectant, so there's that."

CBS This Morning journalists on Thursday used the most hyperbolic language possible as they weighed in on Donald Trump’s dispute with his CDC Director over the timing of a COVID vaccine. Reporter Weijia Jiang attacked, “This is not the first time President Trump has been at war with scientists. But this time he unequivocally threw his own CDC director under the bus.” 

On ABC’s Good Morning America Thursday, White House correspondent Cecilia Vega and anchor George Stephanopoulos spent a good deal of time deflecting blame from the Democrat ticket sowing fear about a COVID vaccine to project it was actually being “politicized” by President Trump.

On his Sunday morning show, CNN host Fareed Zakaria opened with a commentary in which he blamed President Ronald Reagan for the U.S. government's failure to minimize the COVID-19 death toll as he argued that giving more funding to government agencies would have led to fewer deaths.

ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos grew increasingly frustrated on Thursday’s Good Morning America after he failed to get CDC director Robert Redfield to bash President Trump for insisting we need to reopen schools in the Fall.

 

After the GMA team sneered that President Trump was “going against the advice of federal health experts” by pushing to reopen schools…

On Thursday's New Day on CNN, as New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo made his first appearance on the show since word broke that he went against CDC guidelines and pressured nursing homes to take in COVID-19 patients, leading to thousands of unnecessary deaths, CNN co-host Alisyn Camerota failed to bring up the important issue.

Over the Memorial Day weekend, while Fox News Channel was practicing good journalism by informing its viewers about Governor Andrew Cuomo's dishonesty in trying to blame the Donald Trump administration for the New York Democrat's order to force nursing homes to accept Covid-19 patients, thus leading to more of their residents getting sick and dying, CNN forwarded the Cuomo administration's…

As Americans debate how to reopen our society in the wake of COVID-19, we seem to be breaking down into three groups: first, those who believe the virus isn't particularly serious and desperately want to reopen everything as soon as possible (a small minority of Americans, by polling data); second, those who believe the virus is extraordinarily serious and want everything to remain closed as long…

Wednesday’s White House Coronavirus Task Force briefing saw fireworks after Tuesday’s episode was a welcome change with a calm, civil, and sober tone among the cast of reporters. But on Wednesday, CDC Director Robert Redfield was in the spotlight to clarify comments that sent the wildly (and eagerly) apocalyptic media into a tizzy. Of course, Redfield’s appearance didn’t satisfy reporters.

"There are no libertarians in a global pandemic." So goes the smug punchline of large-government advocates who point to the necessity of collective action in the face of an unprecedented global crisis. Without government, they say, we'd all be dead. Few libertarians would disagree. The hardcore libertarians at Reason magazine aren't spending their days fulminating over the evils of government-…

The hosts of The View continued campaigning for Joe Biden on Tuesday’s show, while worrying that a candidate like Bernie Sanders becoming the nominee could sink the Democrats’ chances of winning back the White House. Co-host Whoopi Goldberg grumbled that she wanted the swamp and bureaucratic institutions “back” in Washington, and her fellow co-host Joy Behar went apocalyptic, claiming that…

The truth has no place on NBC News. During NBC’s Sunday Today, host Willie Geist continued to push the long-debunked accusation that President Trump called the deadly coronavirus (COVID-19) a “hoax” at a Friday campaign rally in South Carolina. On top of that, Geist suggested it took the first death of an American in the U.S. to get the President to cut it out and take the situation seriously.
