Not content to accuse Donald Trump of killing Americans with his incompetence during the coronavirus pandemic, Democrats and their allies in the media have turned their fire on the president’s supporters as well. Those with “blood on their hands,” to use the smear du jour, range from Republican governors reluctant to issue quarantine orders to Michigan autoworkers protesting being locked out their jobs. And, of course, Fox News.
The latest salvo came in the form of a New York Times column with a blaring headline: “A Beloved Bar Owner Was Skeptical About the Virus. Then He Took a Cruise.”

The New York Times has openly acknowledged setting aside traditional standards of journalism until president Trump is no longer president.

To paraphrase, "Liars, Democrat liars, and the New York Times."

The NYT will not make it through the next presidency whether it be democrat or republican. Even New Yorkers are getting fed up with doom and gloom and zero criticism of their own incompetent leadership. Fortunately for the WaPo, they have Bezos' fortune to keep them afloat but that's not a solid guarantee either.

Reading the comments on stories like this illustrate that the democrats work very hard to deflect attention away from the facts of the story, and to instigate personal attacks against President Trump and his supporters. That is what children do when they don't get their way.
''Daddy, I want a pony!''
Sorry darling, but we live in a small house, with nowhere to keep one. Besides, we can't afford one.
''I hate you! you don't love me! You never let me have anything! You let Billy have a model airplane! I'll hate you forever!''

Facts will never get in the way of a good story. The Times swung and smacked a homer for some of its readers and their cohorts on social media. Trump is a fool, killing Americans with his buffoonery, supported by Hannity and FoxNews. This poor salt-of-the-earth workingman's friend and community benefactor was one of his victims. Like it or not...that's the way it is.

What this really come down to is personal responsibility. Something Commiecrats don't think exists.
The gun made me do it.
Hannity & Trump made me do it.

Scarier to me than the bias of the Legacy Media, Academia, and Dem Party is the vitriol of seemingly average citizens responding to the stories in 'Comments' sections. There's some of it on the right as well, to be sure, but not at the same level or in the same numbers. I can only hope there are bots or George Soros-minimum-wage duplicate posts involved that exaggerate the partisanship. Otherwise I'm thinking I need to start taking courses in physical defense.

The article could have been half the size to make its point. Plus ... there were some needless and not so off-handed zingers against Fox news, Trump, Hannity, etc. Not worth reading, really.
The victim was an adult of 74 and knew he was taking a chance by starting a cruise on March 1st. So be it. He rolled the dice ... he lost. End of story. His kids want a bugaboo to blame and chose Trump/Hannity and the "reporter" went with it instead of properly fact checking. Just another example of the Left hating us. Yawn.

Donald Trump was trying to downplay fear and project confidence which is what true leaders do. His statements from the beginning were true if you consider how easy it is to avoid the virus if you take only minimal precautions. This bar owner took two flights and two cruise ship legs across the Atlantic during the peak virus growth period. That's nothing short of asking for it. Sorry for his childrens' lost but they should have been a little more forceful in their cautions, even if the guy didn't listen to them. Blaming Fox News or Donald Trump for this guy's death is nothing but the usual fictional slander in which the NYT has been engaging since 2016. The writer of this column shows us nothing but wishy-washy hand-slapping.

When the Failing and Flailing New York Slimes finally expires — which cannot come soon enough — the demise will not be a case of murder by Donald Trump, but will instead be a slow-motion suicide at the hands of such corrupt and craven liars and lunatics as Maggie Haberman, Michael Schmidt, Adam Goldman, and the coven of other frauds brought into the organization in recent years.
