Attorney General William Barr told "The Ingraham Angle" Wednesday that he was disappointed over the partisan attacks leveled against President Trump during the coronavirus pandemic and blasted reporters for waging a "jihad" to discredit the effectiveness of the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine.
"It's very disappointing because I think the president went out at the beginning of [the coronavirus pandemic] and really was statesmanlike, trying to bring people together, working with all the governors," Barr said. "Keeping his patience as he as he got these snarky, gotcha questions from the White House media pool and the stridency of the partisan attacks on him has gotten higher and higher."
Barr's criticism toward the media sharpened when he addressed the coverage of hydroxychloroquine and its possible role in the fight against the coronavirus. He said before the president mentioned the drug, the media was fair in its coverage but as soon as Trump mentioned it, "the media has been on a jihad to discredit the drug," Barr said. "It's quite strange."
Host Laura Ingraham asked Barr about the possibility of extending the shutdown and its impact on the country. Barr said a depression would make the health care system "weaker."
"We cannot keep for a long period of time our economy shut down just on the public health thing. It means less cancer. Cancer researchers or at home. A lot of the disease reaches researchers who will save lives in the future. That's being held in abeyance," Barr said. "The money that goes into these institutions, whether philanthropic sources or government sources, is going to be reduced. We will have a weaker health care system if we go into a deep depression. So it just measured it in lives. The cure cannot be worse than the disease."

I live in “Ground Zero” and with all my extended family, which is huge, and all my friends, I still know no one who has it nor do i know anyone who knows someone who has it.
When Barr speaks, does anyone really give a f*ck?!
but Barr is too busy chasing Venezeulan druggies and two-bit mask hoarders...
time to go after the big criminals in the Deep State.
Didn’t you hear? A person named Tom Hanks claims to have had it.
Yet, he still lives and apparently is magically cured.
Drug companies fund most of the media companies with advertisements for drugs that they produce. Often, these proprietary drugs are expensive until the end of the patent period.
Hydroxychloroquine is a cheap generic drug. No drug company is going to make a ton of money off it and there will not be any lucrative advertisement budgets for the various media outlets.
Is it the least bit surprising that the media is in full force denigration of this cheap and apparently safe and effective drug when used with zinc and a broad spectrum antibiotic?
Then it all was worth it! :)
If it works the President may get some credit and help his re-election.
The Left needs bodies to win.
The media are a bunch of attention junkies and adrenaline addicts.

Gotta get their fame on. Watch how many countries the democrats can bomb within a month if they win.
NYC or upstate?
I live in San Diego, which is hardly an epicenter, and my brother knows someone who has it. Your family has been blessed.
Absolutely right and they don,t want the president to get any credit for something that works. Kind of makes them look bad.
