At Wednesday's coronavirus task force briefing, President Trump sparred with ABC's Jonathan Karl over ventilators. For weeks Karl and other White House reporters have been demanding to know how the government was going to be able to supply all the ventilators our hospitals need for the overwhelming influx of coronavirus patients. Now, when they've exceeded those expectations and we have a surplus of ventilators, Trump observed that the media has gone silent.
"We're now supplying ventilators all over the world because no other country could have done what we did, and you should say that's a great story," Trump instructed the press corps. "Instead, you say Trump was slow - slow, we were so fast. Plus we put the ban on so much earlier when Nancy Pelosi as an example - you don't say this. When she's having her rally in San Francisco in Chinatown in San Francisco nobody wants to say that."
He's right. On February 24, Speaker Pelosi was still encouraging people to come out to Chinatown.
Trump hammered the point home that no matter what he does, the media refuses to give him or his task force credit.
"So if we gave 350 [million people] a test ten times, the fake news media would say, where's the eleventh time?" Trump said. "He didn't do his job. Trump didn't do his job. Because you have a lot of bad reporting out there."
Karl shouted, "that's not true!" a few times.
"You're one of the leaders of the bad reporting," Trump replied.
Trump later suggested that the media is actually "unhappy" that they have extra ventilators because they "never mention it."
A surplus of ventilators is something we should all celebrate.
. @foxandfriends We now have many Ventilators to spare. Thank you to all! https://twitter.com/mike_pence/status/1253123932280041473
Proving Bill Maher right again.
“Trump calls you Fake News. Don’t make him be right!”
The Leftist State Media cannot help themselves. They are steeped in a propaganda campaign to take down President Donald J Trump. The truth is the victim.
...... LOL ..... And by saying that ... Proving the President's point .....
Bump!
Which makes them extremely dangerous.
“The Leftist State Media cannot help themselves. They are steeped in a propaganda campaign to take down President Donald J Trump. The truth is the victim.”
After the November 3 d Trump landslide, I wouldn’t like to be in their shoes!
Someone like J? Karl may very well have a ‘coronary’ virus!
Obama, Who Botched Two Pandemics, Criticizes Trump's Response to Coronavirus. Obama's HHS declared the H1N1 pandemic a public health emergency April 29, 2009, but didnt declare it a "national emergency" until Octobertwo months after WHO declared it a pandemic, after a thousand Americans had already died, and millions already infected. Obama was too busy accumulating his federal "inheritance" to take the outbreaks seriously.
‘thats NOT true,” YELLED Jonathan Karl.
The president heard Karl and you could see the President’s
face light up , because he knew without a doubt that he had taken up residence in Karl’s wee head. Then the president doubled down on Karl, spanking Karl mercilessly, you could hear several times in the back ground, the juvenile yell of Karl, “That’s not true!” as he was threatened by a paradigm shift from fake news world into the phenomenal world itself.
Karl ALMOST woke up!
The President has Karl by the short hairs now, and he will work him mercilessly.The public spankings will continue as long as Fake News reporters attend the White House Pressers.
Just maybe the President will convert the propogandist ba$tards into patriotic Americans. Its a tall order.
They can still be both: stupid and corrupt
“I used to think the media is corrupt. Now I just think they are stupid.”
Like the Fraud is/was incompetent?
They and almost all Rats KNOW they are at war against all America stands for.
In my growing up years, we had respect for our Representatves, Senators, Supreme Court Justices, and our Presidents.
Among the media there is no respect for any of those leaders unless they are of the same twisted mind as those in the media.
While many, like myself, watch the daily Presidential briefing, far too many folks who grew up in the same era as I did, seem to be spending their time watching Netflix or engaged in some other non-informative behavior.
Its reflex. Ever use a crow call to get a gobbler to respond?
Youre being far to complimentary. Criminally negligent is more like it. Maybe even criminally incompetent.
In cinema, anyway, I’ve noticed the opposite. The name tends to be assigned to characters that just won’t die, no matter hard many times the villains try (e.g. Rollerball, John Wick).
The news organizations that send representatives to the White House briefings must intentionally try to see who can send the dumbest rep. These idiots cannot possibly be random choices. The entire bunch give credibility to the premise that the schools of journalism probably posses the lowest average ACT/SAT scores on all the campuses of our colleges and university’s across America.
The camera should immediately show the person asking a stupid, baiting question along with the written name of the offender & the employer.
So Cuomo should be happy he could get rid of thousands of sick patients, getting paid $13,000 each by the federal government, by putting them on ventilators. Youd think with an 88% kill rate, someone would have questioned the use of intubation + ventilators as a viable therapy.

Some have. I suspect that the media prefer having a club to beat Trump with. The ‘kill rate’ would undermine that narrative.
Remember when ObamaIdiot was called a liar?
Remove these mofos from the daily briefings, Mr. President!
President Trump challenged back to him "Did you not know that was in the guidelines" and Karl said nothing.
