Birx claims media has been "very slicey and dicey" with headlines about coronavirus LINK ]

[quote]“I think the media is very slicey and dicey about how they put sentences together in order to create headlines. ...We know for millennials in other studies that some people may only read the headlines. And if there’s not a graphic, they’re not going to look any further than that,” Birx, the White House coronavirus task force response coordinator, said on Fox News’s “Watters World” when asked if the media has been fair in its coverage.

“And I think we have to be responsible about our headlines. I think often, the reporting maybe accurate in paragraph three, four, and five. But I’m not sure how many people actually get to paragraph three, four, and five,” she added.

“And I think the responsibility that the press has is to really ensure that the headlines reflect the science and data that is in their piece itself

She is complicit, and a witch. Can't slice and dice what you don't say. I'd rather she be quiet at the conferences and let Trump and Pence talk after selecting the useful and accurate information.

If her initial predictions were wrong we burn her

If they were right we don't burn her

And no one will ever know she said that! Why doesn’t she say it at Briefing or to MSM?

She was on CNN this morning and was pretty good. I thought they tried very hard to bait her into saying what they wanted her to say and she didn’t give in one bit.

OK, I've heard Rush refer to her as 'the scarf queen'.
But I've now seen her about 10 times on TV and she always wears a scarf? Is she hiding a bite on her neck?

Shows you how tied in the government is with the media.

ETA: if the media goes into panic then the government will follow suit.

You've got the wrong villain, that's the 80 year old midget in the grey suit. The CDC fat guy hasn't been very accountable either.

Relatively speaking, yes. She’s never had the media hate her before and distort headlines and opening paragraphs.

After being subjected to her teeth for the past 8 weeks, I'm ready to pay for her veneers at this point.
