This is so silly.

This has to be made up issue by MSM executive types like Jeff Zucker and Phil Griffin. No one can't be offended by the term Chinese virus, right?

When it comes to the left, no one should be surprised at the stupidity.

Apparently it leads to an increase in racist acts against Chinese Americans.

They pulled that out their asses.

I didn't even mention Trump. I know he uses the term Chinese virus but so do millions of others people.

I am not offended. More pissed that these "journalists" choose to focus on the name of virus right now.

they cant call it the trump virus until people stop calling it the china or Wuhan flu, that's what the outrage is all about, they need a way to attach it to trump, even if its with lies as their SOP is

They don’t have a problem with it, but you can’t put the whole blame on Trump if you keep saying Chinese or Wuhan Chinese Virus. It puts too much focus on the place of origin and takes away from the blame they want to heap upon Pres Trump.

Right. Because it's not offensive nor intended to be offensive. It's just a descriptor of where the virus originated.

Liberals hate it because Trump says it.

Liberals are stupid people.

I don't know anyone who cares about it. No clue why any reporters are asking questions about it.

I would say it is faux outrage. But, that may offend the cheese eating surrender frogs.

Oh I see. "COVID 19" is closer to Trump than Chinese so it makes it easier for the media to conflate COVID with Trump. It's much harder for the media to conflate Chinese with Trump.

This makes me lol.

Yep

That is their reasoning.

That is why they stopped using the term themselves. They are a joke.

Yeah, I would believe that Communist Party of the Republic of China have paid lobbyists paying media firms like CNN and MSNBC to spew this kind of propaganda.
