Comment on Don’t watch TV coverage of Covid-19

Comments

I find BBC World News to be fairly even-handed and far less engaged in fear mongering.

The vast majority of US news sources are engaged in using fear and twisting facts to damage Trump. It has reached a ridiculous scale. The other day a CNN reporter asked guest doctors the same question over and over again to try and get one of them to say one of Trump’s decisions was wrong. When each doctor said, in no uncertain terms, that he made the right decision, this host asked the same question to the next medical guest hoping for an answer that aligned with her objectives.

I watch and read all sources in order to achieve a degree of balance. What’s going on right now with those politically opposed to Trump is nothing less than revolting and counterproductive.
