Eeek! Trump's handling of the coronavirus crises is getting increasingly positive reviews from the public according to the poll numbers. Solution? The media must stop live broadcasting President Trump's coronavirus briefings.

The Washington Post media columnist, Margaret Sullivan, doesn't give those positive poll numbers as the reason for her now wanting the media to stop live broadcasting of the briefings but what is the possibilty that is not her motivation? How about somewhere between nil and none?

Sullivan's angry tirade against those briefings appeared on Saturday in "The media must stop live-broadcasting Trump’s dangerous, destructive coronavirus briefings."

Democracy Dies In the Darkness? Except when it comes to the Big Bad Orange Man.

Because the public is informed and we cant have that, how do we create hysteria

[conservativepoet]

Such losers. Trump in a landslide.

WINNING and these A-Holes dont like it..F’em

The reason the First Amendment is there is to protect free speech. But the irony of the media trying to suppress other’s free speech is beyond anything imaginable.

A big question is: was this virus initially released to target MAGA/KAG or is it merely a situation where Trump’s enemies are using a naturally occurring disease to harm his reelection chances.

[Brilliant]

They just realized that if all the media does is report on Trump, then we don’t need talking heads.

Lady we are at war. There are many in this country who will not forget those who are hindering the efforts of the government to deal with this emergency. We know who you are .

[Uncle Miltie]

Because Trump is too effective.

[Salvavida]

This is actually an EXCELLENT idea!! Don't cover it. Nature abhors vacuum, and real journalism will fill the void.

Margaret Sullivan used to be Editor of the local rag in Buffalo. She was insufferable then. She is only more so breathing the rarefied stench of Washington DC.

The monica media is bought and paid for by the globalists and the communist Chinese. They are part of the country’s enemies!!

[Rummyfan]

Democracy Dies In the Darkness...

HA! Margaret Sullivan joins Rachel Maddow in calling for the media to effectively censor the president in the time of a national crisis. These hacks are simply breathtaking in their hubris. And stupidity.

Another Treasonous Panda-felcher self-identifies.

"A big question is: was this virus initially released to target MAGA/KAG or is it merely a situation....."

I am saying no accident. Same as the financial meltdown just weeks before the election in 2008. Its a plan...

[canuck_conservative]

Democrats and their DeepState pals are desperate, nothing’s worked so far.

So if a Pandemic that destroys the economy can force Donald Trump out of the White House, Democrats/DeepState will cheer on the Pandemic.

Yes, they are that petty.

[Wissa]

Let’s see. Would I rather hear him for myself? Or have his enemies TELL me what he’s said?

[MAGAthon]

no rallies, no press conferences. don’t read social media. trust the FakeNewsMSM. sounds reasonable.

[Magnatron]

How can we say that Trump is sucking at this if you keep seeing with your own eyes that he’s not?

[Conserv]

Too bad, dems.

Trump’s presser is on right.

I just saw him talk about protecting our veterans.
