He is commander-in-chief of the military. He is civilian's property manager. Not our 'commander.'

When they allowed the military to 'embed' reporters, they destroyed media objectivity. If you eat, sleep and get shot at with a group of people, you believe anything they tell you. Stockholm syndrome.

There is no liberal media left. Very little objective media, either.They mostly just quote other reporters.

Occam's Razor Dept.:

The major media, "mainstream" as well as wingnut, are owned by rich people, and their higher-ranking employees are also rich people.

If the Democrats win the White House and both houses of Congress, the Dems might, just might, feel bold enough to raise taxes on the rich, including the rich media people.

So, who will the media people bias reporting in favor of, so they won't be compelled to pay the level of taxes worthy of people of their affluence in a civilized society?

That's right! The Treason Party, fka the GOP!

Plus, they make money from those low GOP taxes. See my later comment on this thread.

Who knows how many of his die hards, especially in those states like Florida which only this minute (from what I understand) just now a day late and a dollar short issued a stay at home order, will do just that in the coming days and weeks thinking there was nothing more could have been done.

It might be the last thing a lot of people buy unless they pick out and pay for their casket right before they need it.

Once again, the media is not "falling for anything."

They are sharing in the complicity of the Trump Administration.

This was the case back when Trump had his first Joint Session of Congress address shortly after his installation as POTUS. The one where Van Jones, among others, immolated himself calling Trump "Presidential."

How many more times do we have to see this dog and pony show before we question their role in all of this?

Surprised that MyPillow sleaze hasn’t put some elastic straps on his overpriced pillows and remarketed them to the cult as masks with super duper virus filters.

The "Press Corps" was busy running Helen Thomas out of there to care.

Lack of available reliable testing kits and facilities.

I just LOVE how these idiots in the media seem to think Trump being "scared" somehow equates to him actually "caring." For fuck sake people, he's scared that HE will get sick, not that more Americans will die.

Nothing in that man's head is about anyone but him.
