A beleaguered President Donald Trump has finally asked the question millions have been asking ever since the first televised Coronavirus Task Force presser: “Why have daily press conferences for ‘Lamestream Media’?”
Spot on, Mr. President! WHY?!“The daily press briefings have been a fixture of the Trump White House for the last few weeks during the coronavirus pandemic, even during the weekends. (Breitbart) “Despite some heated exchanges with White House reporters in the press briefing room, Trump’s daily press conferences drew record ratings to cable news channels, especially Fox News.”
“New York Governor Andrew Cuomo continues having daily press conferences that are also aired live on cable news.” (Breitbart)Rather than inform a worldwide watching public about the latest information on the devastating trajectory of COVID-19, rude and screeching White House Press Correspondent members have exploited the pandemic, turning it into The Biggest and Most Raucous Show on Earth. Tragically, the voice of the loved ones of pandemic victims are never heard. After all’s been said and done, this is how Breitbart describes the President’s Saturday walk out from the conference:

“But after the media went wild over President Trump’s question to the doctors about injecting disinfectants or ultraviolet light into the body to fight coronavirus, the president appeared tired of giving the media record access. (Breitbart)“The president ‘appeared’ tired of giving the media record access?” How about the president was saying “Enough Already!” “Get back to reporting the news!”? “They get record ratings, and the American people get nothing but Fake News,” Trump wrote. “Not worth the time and effort!”
“It is unclear whether Trump is ending the briefings altogether, or just for the weekend. (Breitbart) “White House officials are reportedly reconsidering the value of the briefings and the president’s appearance at the podium. “Trump continued criticizing the media on Saturday, including the false claim that he called the coronavirus pandemic a “hoax.” “Who would say such a thing? I said that the Do-Nothing Democrats, together with their Mainstream Media partners, are the Hoax,” Trump wrote. “They have been called out and embarrassed on this, even admitting they were wrong, but continue to spread the lie!”
“In a nutshell, the United States probably threw itself into an economic death spiral and civil liberties killing spree for nothing. For reasons yet to be determined, the virus follows a fixed pattern and burns itself out. The Wuhan virus was never going to cascade exponentially through the population and kill millions unless we incarcerated ourselves in our homes, as so many catastrophized. (Any of this remind you of ‘Russian collusion’?) (RedState, April 26, 2020)It has become crystal clear that the media has used the briefings to put words into the president’s mouth—their words—all lies! So wrapped up in their corrosive hatred of Trump and his supporters, the media seems unaware that it is sending a dangerous message to the outside world. It’s a message to America’s enemies that America has been rendered vulnerable and remains open to attack. Meanwhile, the latte-sipping media out there this weekend celebrating the fall of President Trump will soon have to walk it back. When the president issues the inevitable Back to Work order, he will have righted (pun intended) once again the Good ship USS America.
