Liberal media in a bind

Liberal media can’t stand the Coronavirus press briefings because President Trump is in command and does not suffer fools gladly. The president uses the technical experts to respond to technical questions. The President calls out individual reporters for poor and biased questions. Reporters in the room give the impression of pettiness. Reporters always portray the situation in a negative way and always ask questions designed to “get Trump”. Media credibility has fallen. Presidential credibility has risen. The President has some of the highest poll numbers of his presidency.

Liberal media has few options. They can’t pull away from the briefings, except for short periods when the President is talking, and then they have to come back. They can’t interpret and spin the President’s comments, because his comments are viewed by the public in real time and recorded. Liberal media are called out and ridiculed when their attempts to spin are too obvious. Liberal media have lost control of the narrative. Media frustration is highlighted in the following story:

Liberal Media Scream: Trump virus briefings ‘worse than’ Vietnam War lies

I have no sympathy for the media. They are bad at their jobs. They are obviously biased against the current administration. They obviously hate President Trump. They do everything they can to pull down Trump’s presidency. The liberal media are a pack of howling hyenas. The current professional class of journalists and media personalities are the worst in the history of our great country, in my opinion, even surpassing in poor performance the Civil War era press.
