Coronavirus

CNN thought coronavirus was a perfectly appropriate topic for comedy when host Chris Cuomo teased his brother, the governor of New York, about needing a giant Q-Tip for his coronavirus test due to his huge nostrils. So it was an epic series of hypocritical outrages on June 21 and 22, after President Trump made a wisecrack at his Tulsa rally about slowing down coronavirus testing. 

During an interview with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday, NBC’s Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie gently wondered if it was a “mistake” for the Democrat to force nursing homes to admit coronavirus patients, a policy responsible for thousands of deaths across the hard-hit state. Predictably, Cuomo refused to accept responsibility.

Dems are continuing to double down on this absurd mail-in voting scheme for the November presidential elections. Recently they enlisted the help of big Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin to tell you, the true American, to reject Trump’s claims that voting by mail will allow for massive voter fraud. Remember, citizens, “Mail-in voting is patriotic.”

New York Times political reporter Astead Herndon both mocked and fretted over President Trump’s Tulsa rally in a condescending “Political Memo” on Monday’s front page, “A Safe Space For Believers – Race and a Pandemic in the MAGA Bubble.” Herndon snarked: "The entire scene, from speaker to speaker, brought to mind the famous words of Kevin Bacon’s character in 'Animal House,' as chaos…

While Governor Andrew Cuomo has stopped his daily coronavirus press briefings, he’s still on television, being treated to softball interview after softball interview from his adoring fans in the media. After the “Luv Guv” and desirable “bachelor” was flirted with by ABC’s Amy Robach and CBS’s Jane Pauley, it was actually an MSNBC host who pressed him on his controversial nursing home order,…

CNN Newsroom hosts Poppy Harlow and Jim Sciutto invited New York Governor Andrew Cuomo on their Monday show to discuss current events which naturally included the COVID-19 pandemic.

On New Day, CNN chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta said never mind about a second coronavirus wave: we might not get out of the first wave "for the foreseeable future."  Gupta then called President Trump's joke at the Tulsa rally about testing "nearly criminal."

Left-wing super PAC Priorities USA Action continued to bombard the TV airwaves with misleading ads in an attempt to destroy President Donald Trump. Priorities USA Action’s latest incendiary anti-Trump ad, spot titled “Lack Of Leadership,” dominated 100 political ads aired about the coronavirus between June 13 and June 19 with an astounding 1,927 airings total.

The NBA and Major League Soccer are planning to resume play in Orlando next month, and if this contributes to a single coronavirus death, they and Republican leaders in the state should be tried for manslaughter. You read that right: Gov. Ron DeSantos, Sen. Marco Rubio and Rep. Matt Gaetz would all be culpable, writes Deadspin's Thomas Laforgia.

Here's a dramatic difference in network Sunday shows. Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace asked Biden spokesperson Symone Sanders why there's a double-standard, that mass street protests against the police aren't "super spreader" events. She denied there was a double standard!

Effectively downplaying his fumbled response to the coronavirus outbreak in his state, and ignoring the bipartisan calls from state legislatures to investigate why he put infected patients in nursing homes, CBS Sunday Morning host Jane Pauley spent her segment gushes about Democratic New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. Not only was she dismissive of his critics, but she also appeared to…

After the liberal media spent weeks decrying President Trump’s Saturday campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma as a possible “super spreader” of coronavirus and some kind of racist get together, since it was originally scheduled for Juneteenth, ABC’s Good Morning America kicked off Sunday’s newscast by mocking how there were “noticeably empty seats in the arena that he [President Trump]…

The New York Times on Saturday hypocritically hectored Trump supporters before their rally Saturday night in Tulsa. Reporter Matt Flegenheimer’s “news analysis” in Saturday’s edition used the gathering as an unflattering metaphor for the administration’s high-risk strategy in general: “‘What Do You Have To Lose?’ Best Read The Fine Print.”
