While they are rightly spending a lot of time covering the coronavirus crisis, the media were still political entities. ABC proved that fact during Sunday’s This Week when three of their journalists (chief anchor George Stephanopoulos, chief White House correspondent Jon Karl, and senior congressional correspondent Mary Bruce) hyped how President Trump’s campaign messaging took a massive hit and his poll numbers were sinking. One even floated the idea that the Senate majority could be in play.

The underlying dissatisfaction with the MSM and the Dems is the real story. Their internals must show them about to get trounced if they're touting this trash now. A successful reopening and some recovery in the markets will tell the real story.

This is definitely something that can take down the president and the republican majority. We'll hear nothing but "Trump Did It - He Caused The Economy Shut Down !!!" all the way up through November. Get a Sanders like socialist promising a chicken in every pot, and we can have some real problems.
Watch some of those "man on the street" interviews where people can't even name who the vice president is, or point out where North America is on a map.

I love/hate that the enemedia still doesn’t get it. At all. Hate for the obvious reasons of incredulity and disgust on my part. Love because it keeps them willfully blind, which is how Trump keeps outsmarting them.

What these hacks are choosing to ignore (and hope you won't notice) is that the same qualities in a leader that gave us the best economy in living memory will be required to pull us out of this trap (carefully laid by the CCP and the Democrat leadership). Neither Nancy Antoinette nor Dementia Joe are even close. Biden's corruption and lechery are a non starter. Will some be swayed by the over the top propaganda? Yes. IMO enough i.e. at least 7/8 million more than the 63 million who put him in office won't take the bait. Too much is at stake.

I believe the CDC are making up numbers of the CCP COVID-19 to make the virus sound over one hundred times, or more, worse than it is, in their efforts to destroy America from within while their is a republican semi-controlled government via President Trump and the Senate. All the while, the Marxist Communist democrat controlled House does everything they can to make things worse than they actually are.
The 2009/2010 Swine Flu.
The CDC final report in May 2011 says it infected over 60.8 Million people their guessing range is from (43.3 to 89.3 million) in America.
Their report says hospitalizations were 274,304, their guessing range is from (195,086 to 402,719) in America.
Their report says deaths were 12,469 their guessing range is from (8868 to 18,306) in America.
In truth this report isn't worth .02 cents.

If the earth were being invaded by Martians, the media’s first question would be how this might affect the election. The Democrats’ first question would be whether Martians are racially prejudiced. Trump’s first question would be whether the Martians might be interested in a good trade deal.

Do the major networks poll to find out if their audience is growing or shrinking? I pulled the plug on cable eight years ago, so i no long count, but I wonder how many others have pulled the plug as well.

NY Times yesterday on the front page saying Republicans are abandoning Trump, especially those in the Senate who think he will make them lose the Senate. Now, ABC obediently comes out with this garbage today. I also remember all of these people in 2016 saying Republican members of Congress would not support Trump (and would vote for Hillary). Other than John McCain and Mitt Romney, that was not true - oh and some guy in Ohio whose father was a mailman. Trump, 50 state landslide 2020.

Anyone else remember the Hong Kong flu of 1968-69? 100,000 Americans died and 1 million died worldwide. I got it then and was very sick, recovered and got married 3 weeks later. I taught school at the time and not one of my 6th graders got it. Sound familiar? Except there was no government intervention in any country.

ABC said about the same in 2016 that Trump was going decimated in that election by Hillary Clinton. Everyone with a brain in their head knows that the invasion of the Chinese corona virus into the USA was not Trump’s fault, it is totally the fault of the Chinese Communists.
It is Trump who has been supporting the prudent re-opening of the US economy based upon the advise of leading medical scientists and economists. In contrast is is the leftist and liberal Democrats who certainly want to keep the economy shutdown until after the election, thus bankrupting a huge percentage of American businesses causing untold employees of those businesses to loose their jobs and become dependent upon government assistance programs, believing that would hurt Trump’s election chances, and further a socialist based transformation of the USA.

The Accurate Use of Decimated:
kill, destroy, or remove a large percentage or part of.
"the project would decimate the fragile wetland wilderness"
synonyms:
get rid of · eliminate · [more]
drastically reduce the strength or effectiveness of (something).
"plant viruses that can decimate yields"
historical
kill one in every ten of (a group of soldiers or others) as a punishment for the whole group.
"the man who is to determine whether it be necessary to decimate a large body of mutineers"
Now, predicated upon the previous, what the hell is the illiterate headline writer trying to communicate?
