CNN anchor John King snapped on air Friday over a testy exchange President Donald Trump had with NBC White House Correspondent Peter Alexander during a White House press briefing. The president told Alexander that he was a “terrible reporter” after Alexander asked what Trump would tell Americans who are scared about the coronavirus pandemic. “It was a perfectly valid question and what the president did to Peter Alexander is reprehensible,” King said. The CNN anchor went on to

Real journalism is dead. Media wants to create news rather than reporting news.
Trump was correct in saying that media wants to be sensational, probably in order to attract readers or viewers who want sensationalism and react to it.
I chose to ignore the media's narrative and respond to FACTS from credible sources.

I wholly agree with the commentator who advised the President to eliminate the fulminators and haters from the daily Chinese virus updates. That means, of course, no so-called press. Deliver the necessary messages from team without the gratuitous nonsense from that peanut gallery. This goes double for the ChiCom News Network.

Do reporters take notes, or is there something in the water that is causing them a short-term memory problem? After days of Trump speaking to the American, including a two-hour press conference yesterday, the question "what would you tell the American people?" was either intended to be insulting, or more likely, an imbecilic query by a reporter who has done no reading or research, and is less prepared than a third-grader to be asking questions. In a courtroom, the question would be followed by the following: "Objection, Your Honor. Asked and answered. About a hundred times now." To which the Court would respond, "Sustained. Counsel, please move on to a new subject."

The only thing that NBC wants is more panic and people watching their stupid 24/7 bull. President Trump is telling everyone that there is light at the end of this tunnel. There is a very good chance of a possible cure and prevention. Then the munchkin Dr. Fauci gets up and puts a dark cloud on it. This man is really crazy and President Trump, if you hear me. Please put this clown in a closet now. Let Dr. Brix speak for him. She provides a clear understanding of what is really going on. Dr. Fauci throws water on any idea. He is getting his 15 minutes of fame and he know once this is over he will have to go back into his closet at NIH.

If you want President Trump to stop insulting you, then stop acting like j@cka$$e$. Get over your Trump hatred and quit asking questions that constantly criticizes the President for what he has done to keep Americans safe

Maybe the White House Press Corps should be a test for additional social distancing. Maybe 8-12 miles away. Video conference into the briefing room when needed.

The reporter was told to ask that trite question and they ask it when there is nothing more to say, but have to keep the conversation going. It's a touchy-feely one, something Barbara Walters would ask in all seriousness like... "What's your favorite tree?" How many times have you watched a ballplayer being asked, "Tell us your feelings when you hit that walk-off home run?" What do you think he's going to say... "I felt like crap!" So this reporter, thinking that a busy and P.O.'ed Trump is going to say something comforting, walks right into it. Beautiful! Here's another example. I remember Bill Parcells, one time coach of the NY Giants and a no nonsense guy got a post- game question from some sports reporter. Coach replied, "That's a stupid question! Next!" Loved it!

I listened to this exchange and this was not the complete question. I hope someone reviews tape. The reporter tried to invoke all the trigger words of panic promotion ....

#7, Dr. Birx would have said exactly what Dr. Fauci said - in fact, she said the same thing yesterday - that it was necessary to establish protocols to evaluate the medication- that there was limited anecdotal evidence about the medication's effectiveness against the (chinese) virus, and it had to be tested.
Dr. Fauci is not a clinician - he is a pure research kind of guy, and they tend to be different.
The reporter, Peter, was not looking for clarification. He was trying to insult the President.

If you saw the presser live, the media hit a new low. They were so agitating, so manic, so disrespectful, so goading to the President. I worked in media for years and always knew it was the Gym Class of professions. Amazing that Trump meets with them nearly every day and gives it back to this swine even better than they try to give it to him.

I don't know how some of the Corona Virus Task Force keep their cool with the same questions being asked over and over. I am surprised they don't strangle some of the reporters. One they ask all the time is about the number of tests that are available.

The fake media is making no friends in these news conferences. Can you imagine what the people listening to this on the radio are thinking? They sound like animals screaming questions. The WH needs to either ban the media or have Written questions, not show the reporters faces, not allow screaming...this the WH & the media treats it like CNN & NBC

I think it’s safe, and obvious, to say that everyone in the left media hates Trump, and that’s how they do their ‘job.’ I completely disregard their ‘work.’ It’s trash.

I wish the president would not take questions but only give statements when warranted.
Shut out the disrespectful press and make them watch on TV like the rest of us. They are not seeing answers. They only wish to get in as many stabs on the president as they can.

Most of the questions asked are worthless. The answers have already been given during the press conference and are redundant, but the so-called journalists have to get their 15 seconds in the limelight. Journalism is in the toilet.

While watching the Five on Fox, they showed CNN and NBC Praising the Communist Chinese Gov't saying that they are doing so much on the front lines to cure the virus. They were fawning over China. It's disgusting. We all know that they are on the side of China Not America.

Even though every question has been asked and answered ad nauseum, the reporters don't know that since they never actually listen to the answers as they are being given. They just sit there with THEIR next question on the tip of their tongues while trying to discern what will be the last word spoken on the dais so they can begin rudely shouting out THEIR question...

It was a legitimate question. Like it or not, people are scared. Businesses are closing, the stock market is tanking, people with pre-existing conditions don't understand how vulnerable they may be. This was Trump's opportunity to do a "We have nothing to fear but fear itself" moment. He blew it. Why couldn't he have taken the chance to speak directly to the American people and tell them that he and the task force are working to minimize the damage and inconvenience, and if they follow suggestions to self-isolate this can be over in a matter of weeks?

#30 - That is what President Trump has been saying for weeks. The press keep up with their touchy-feely "you're so mean" questions which he has patiently answered a thousand times. How many more times must he say it? For every journalism school grad who finally gets their 30 seconds in front of the camera?

John King is your typical elitist fool posing as a reputable journalist on arguably the most bias news agency in this country. CNN along with other corrupt news agencies have propagated fear and misinformation related to the COVID-19 virus in order to create panic among the population. Been to the grocery store lately? They don't want to bring Americans together during this crisis, it their mission to destroy President Trump no matter what the cost. To them President Trump and his task force can doing nothing right. Remember when the media referred to President Trump as a racist for forbidding flights from China into our country weeks before other countries took action. Oh, and how it's racist for him to refer to COVID-19 as the "Chinese Virus". The reporter that asked this question at today's new briefing had a motive, and it was to sensationalize in order to criticize the administrations response to the virus. Certain media outlets in this county are truly the enemy and CNN is at the top of the list!

It’s not that the question was out of bounds, it was that President Trump has repeatedly been answering it for weeks saying that the health and safety of the American people is his first priority and is the first priority of his team of medical scientists. Every time Trump answers such a question his answer in human terms is a little bit different as the daily situation evolves, which gives the media a basis to create fear mongering controversy. The liberal media is out of touch with reality if they really believe that the US Government could stockpile 350 million diagnostic medical tests to immediately distribute across the country and test every American at a moment’s notice for diseases that have not yet been discovered. Remember with such a contagious virus, a person could test negative today, and then test positive a few days later for the virus. To get such varied results from all Americans, governments at all levels would have to have in stock about 700 million tests and an army of people trained to give and accurately read the test result. The Trump team is doing it right leaving the decision to test individual Americans in the hands of their doctors.

PT should remove his press pass. If you listen to these propaganda media questions, it's always a gotcha one or one designed to stir up even more fear. These reporters are fake news magnified.

Personally, I think for the safety of the President and reporters, they should cancel the press briefing.
It seems like every time the same woman is bent on causing a problem asking if "Chinese Virus" is racist.
Let's call it Chinese Bio Warfare and be done.

We are in a crisis and from what I have watched at these briefings is that questions are critical in nature are not helping. Trump and his team are on national television everyday is an effort to keep people informed and calm them down. This guy was just stirring the pot. We don't need that now.
