They should be reported honestly not laced with opinions and accusations disparaging Trump.

One rather obvious point on the "politicization of the coronavirus"...

To funnel all scientific data and voices through a political operation is indeed politicizing the thing. Covering the virus and seeking out expert views is the opposite.

First discernible sign of the impact of Trump’s mishandling of coronavirus on his approval:

From his favorite,
@Rasmussen

* Thursday
approve 52%
disapprove 47%
(net +5)

* Friday
approve 47%
disapprove 52%
(net -5)

That’s a 10 point swing.

Okay, let’s test that. I just read a story that said Trump is replacing people from the scientific community with people from his Dept of Commerce. The story also mentioned that Trump is mandating that any information released from the CDC now has to be cleared through Mike Pence before release to the public.

Is this honest reporting, or a shot at disparaging Trump?

And do you know it is true? You know it gave you all the facts? How? It is too late to trust the MSM.

Trump has that power, let him use it as he sees fit.

By the way, it's not "hype". It's spread to fifty-three nations.

We have heard all of this before with SARs, and Swine flu and a few other "deadly" things that have gone around the world in the last 15 years or so. This doesn't seem to be worse than those, except in how fast it is spreading. The flu still has a higher mortality rate.
The mortality of flu patients might be higher in raw data, but in relation to the the infected? From where did you get this?

Swine flu ... I don't think that caring of animal health is a priority just now (Direct transmission of a swine flu virus from pigs to humans is only occasionally possible.)

SARS was a relatively rare disease.

Well it HAS to go thru Pence, how else can they keep honest American patriots safe from the dastardly reporters.

yeah the MSM is doing the DNC dirty work for them.

No, the MSM doesn't do the work of the DNC:
Quote:
The committee coordinates strategy to support Democratic Party candidates throughout the country for local, state, and national office. It organizes the Democratic National Convention held every four years to nominate and confirm a candidate for President of the United States, and to formulate the party platform. While it provides support for party candidates, it does not have direct authority over elected officials.

As far as supplying Democrats with stories that make your stupid president look bad, I'm sorry to have to break this to you, but your stupid president does that to himself. He's in way over his head. Its obvious.

Trump misuses the power for bad ends. Having power is no guarantee it will be used for good. Case study--hitler.

I'm aware of all those things.

Then why make the claim that he hasn't done anything of note? You were lying, just like the MSM.

Quote:
As far as I'm concerned they're simply examples of a president doing his job and don't merit special acclaim.

Special acclaim? Your bias is showing.

Quote:
The "Space Force" is mostly PR and could have been handled within the Air Force.

That just isn't the case. Air Force Space command was starting to get very busy with the advent of private space companies and the advancement and other countries into space. We are better off with a seperate branch that has it's own funding instead of sharing funding with the normal stuff the Air Force does. It made sense and they will only get busier in the years to come.

Quote:
Isis may rise again.

So what, he ended their reign of terror in the ME, something Obama wasn't able to do in several years of fighting the JV team...

Quote:
The First Step Act was bi-partisan.

Doesn't matter, it was his idea and he pushed it forward. He has been getting support from black voters because of it.

Quote:
We'll see how the USMCA pans out — it was due for revisiting as it was crafted during the Clinton administration.

It was never going to be revisited by anyone on the left, they didn't care that we were getting screwed in the arrangement. Trump is concerned with US jobs and US workers, the left is worried about making Trump look bad. It's why Nancy Pelosi waited until the "impeachment" scam was in full effect to pick it up and vote on it, she couldn't have done it at any other time, the MSM would have had to paid more attention to it.

Quote:
That's because there's a labor shortage due to demographics and a drop in immigration.

You mean a drop in illegal immigration? Why is it you leftists always forget the illegal part of the immigration debate? Plus there is no labor shortage and people aren't being forced to work 2 jobs like AOC claimed.

Quote:
No, it's not a "travesty".

The rest of the left seems to think it is. He can't fire someone who doesn't share his vision for the country, its considered getting rid of non-loyal people. The media is ripe with such claims.

Quote:
Presidents have the right to hire and fire.

Not according to the left and the MSM. They see him firing people as some sort of revenge. He wasn't able to fire them when he came into office because of the bogus investigations, it would have looked bad and the Dems would have found another bogus reason to being impeachment charges, they have been trying since Jan 2017.

Quote:
Your stupid president just does it in a way which looks petty and vindictive and the people he chooses as replacements are largely incompetent people chosen for their perceived loyalty to Trump himself.

Once again the President deserves to be surrounded by people who share his vision for the country and will purse his plans. He has been surrounded by Obama people because of the bogus investigations.

Where were you in 2008 and 2009? In your attempt to be snarky, you made yourself look stupid:

Yes they do. It is pretty clear in the way the report on things that they favor the DNC candidates. They didn't even bother to report on Biden claiming he was running for US Senate in his opening during the last debate. They claimed he was Trumps biggest contender and we knew that was a lie, Joe doesn't even know what office he is running for, how can he be a treat? Yet that is what the MSM and the DNC pushed as a reason to impeach Trump.

My response wasn't related to Influenza virus H1N1 but to Swine flu. (Due to Swine flu, we've got a border fence nowadays between Germany and Denmark.)
