When polls showed that President Donald Trump was receiving unusually high marks for his handling of the Coronavirus pandemic, the first stage of grief the media went through was denial:
The political media have been working extremely hard to craft a narrative that the spread of the coronavirus was essentially the fault of the man they had blamed for all other ills in recent years. How could the people not accept that narrative, particularly considering that most everyone in the media was pushing it?
Things got worse when additional polls showed Trump receiving high ratings at the same time that the media received poor ratings. A brand new Gallup study Coronavirus Response: Hospitals Rated Best, News Media Worst was particularly bad news. When Americans were asked about nine different institutions and political leaders, they gave majority approval to all but the media. President Trump has a 22-point net approval rating while the medias net approval rating was negative 11 points. The RealClearPolitics approval average for Trump was its highest during his entire presidency.

Yep they think they should be able to ‘filter” what the President says because letting the People hear first-hand makes them like him too much...it torques their jaws they don’t get to put out pre-spun versions as the first source...
BS...
I like the press conf part. He is so good thinking on his feet and doesn’t take any crap
The Media wants the population to be sheep and buy the consumer products that their Madison Ave commercials sell them. Selling commercials is what the media does and they need us sheep to be subservient dependent consumers and the Dems want the same thing. Freedom loving, independent people need not apply.
The media thought they had him this time.
They just knew they could turn this into his Katrina and sink his numbers.
Instead, Trump has responded by putting on a leadership clinic during this pandemic. Americans see his leadership and are glad that he is the President.
EVERYTHING THE MEDIA DOES BACKFIRES ON THEM!
Trump is Lucy, with the football, The MEDIOTS are Charlie Brown..............
Comforting - that's the word I was looking for... and I like Fauci too.
