Pretty good roundup here of the media's Cry-Wolf-Get-Trumpism: Covid19 Edition.

Quote

Whom better to have as president during the coronavirus epidemic but a renowned germaphobe, the “build-the-wall” guy who refuses to kowtow to China?

It’s a unique set of characteristics showing that President Trump understood early the need for decisive measures such as travel restrictions on China, which he imposed in January.

Yet for that sensible decision — in defiance of the World Health Organization — he was criticized by Democrats such as Joe Biden as xenophobic, and by China as racist.

“This is no time for Donald Trump’s record of hysteria and xenophobia — hysterical xenophobia — and fearmongering,” said Biden the day after the travel restrictions were imposed.

CNN ran a story warning that “the US coronavirus travel ban could backfire” and have the effect of “stigmatizing countries and ethnicities.”

...

At the press conference with Trump on Saturday, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the highly respected head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, praised the “original decision that was made by the president … [that] prevented travel from China to the United States.

“If we had not done that, we would have had many, many more cases right here that we would have to be dealing with.”

Trump’s travel restrictions began on Jan. 31. Australia and Singapore instituted their own travel limits the next day. Trump’s move bought valuable time to slow the spread of the virus and ease pressure on the nation’s health system before a vaccine is developed — which experts believe is at least 18 months away.

But that hasn’t stopped the barrage of fake criticisms, including that Trump had left the nation dangerously unprepared to cope with a pandemic by cutting funding for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Not true. The CDC’s programming budget increased from $7.2 billion in 2019 to nearly $7.7 billion this year, the Associated Press fact-checking unit reported. Trump had proposed a cut, but Congress rejected it.

It’s reprehensible for the Democrats to make political hay by blaming Trump for the coronavirus or, as a New York Times op-ed piece called it, “Trumpvirus.”

In an editorial Saturday, the Gray Lady also reiterated its debunked claim that Trump has “muzzled” Fauci.

Yet at Saturday’s 2 p.m. press conference — hours before the Times’ deadline — Fauci emphatically denied the claim.

“I have never been muzzled, ever, and I’ve been doing this since the administration of Ronald Reagan,” Fauci said. “I’m not being muzzled by this administration. That was a real misrepresentation of what happened.”

What shoddy journalism to publish such an incendiary, anonymously sourced claim, without at least including Fauci’s denial.

The anti-Trump narrative rolled on, with increasingly silly attacks. The Washington Post speculated that the coronavirus could be “Trump’s Katrina,” referring to Hurricane Katrina, the response to which had been bungled by President George W. Bush.

When Trump announced a coronavirus task force with the most eminent experts in the nation, CNN blasted him for a “lack of diversity.”

You could hardly blame the president for calling all this unfair criticism the “new hoax” of the Democrats and Resistance media, to try to take him down, like the Russia COLUSION hoax and the impeachment gambit. Of course, then his opponents twisted his words to pretend he had called the coronavirus a “hoax.”

The obvious untruth was spread by established journalists such as Dana Millbank of the Washington Post, who tweeted Friday night: “Remember this moment: Trump, in South Carolina, just called the coronavirus a ‘hoax.’”

When Trump pointed out that he had said no such thing, which the footage of his remarks confirms, the Daily News claimed yesterday he had “backed away from his claim that the coronavirus is a ‘hoax.’”

This is Twitter-level disinformation.

I was aware at the time I guess I am just poor at deciphering MAGA speak.

So Trump is saying that the Democratic response is a hoax?

Yes, and he's clarified that multiple times.

No one is the least bit surprised that UIN leadership is politicizing this.

It’s actually quite normal acceptable behavior now. Anything to own the libs is acceptable now. Pretty gross.

Ugh. He didn’t say the virus was a hoax. He is well aware that said virus exists, as made abundantly clear from his comments. He said the Democrat political fear-mongering over the virus is a hoax. And it is. Trump’s response to virus has been quite prudent so far, including the China travel ban, for which the Dems criticized him. So, so stupid. This is like the Charlottesville Lie only dumber.

You were pretty spot on until you went maga brain.

Trump is saying the democratic criticism is akin to the other "hoaxes" they have tried to use to take him out. Like COLUSION, ukraine - which all magas believe were just big hoaxes perpetrated by killary to take him out. If you read his quote he is saying this attack is the next hoax, not the beer flu itself.

I am also with kaz (uh-oh) that the response seems pretty measured and appropriate. I get a little frustrated by people who insist on flying into the country where there is one of these things is taking off then losing their crap when the us won't let them fly right back and go for a dip in the hot tub up at the club.

UIN and RUIN having to have everything explained and re-explained to them is not the least bit surprising.

This is what you have to deal with people who are in the midst of a thousand plus day psychotic event.

meh, in fairness Trump has said so many outright insane things or perpetrated so many bald face lies I can see where people fall into believing this is just another. The dude said we took airports in the revolutionary war and that the noise from windmills causes brain cancer. And you believed him.

I don't even know a thing about the airport stuff and the windmills is just you're usual dumbass and always failed go to.

As I always say, UIN would take stuff and run with it from the previous administration like the good little UIN'ers they were, and stuff that was way way more serious like rolling back ISIS, and AQ isn't expanding anymore and like your policy keep your policy . . . But the worst part of all, UIN'ers via simple minded unyielding support allowed the previous administration to go eff up things across the world . . . with no questions asked. Thus: Useful Idiot Nation

Now we've got Useful Idiot Nation that does nothing but parrot everything that UIN leadership says no matter how insane or ridiculous or how flip-flopped it is.

Sad
