Reporters are garbage

Watching Trump's press conference, I couldn't help but cheer Trump on when he went off on the reporters for scaring the American people and sensationalizing the virus. He was absolutely right. These reporters are awful. I wish those suckers would close up shop...they're definitely non-essential.

Reporters are glorified ad salesmen. Of course they sensationalize.

Imagine failing at a career so you have to resort to asking questions to other people to make money

Essentially, yes I think so. With the prominence of social media and all of the citizen reporters out there, why do we need them anymore? I get it when newspapers and tv were the only ways to get news, but that's not the case anymore. Citizen reporting is by far more trustworthy than some "unbiased" news company, and that includes Fox News.

I've felt this way ever since the BP oil spill. Can't really watch the news since.
(Yes, it was bad, but they make mountains out of a molehill whenever possible.)

Imagine the reporters were right all along and Trump underestimated everything from day one.
Trump’s responses to COVID-19 since January:
These are all direct quotes. They are all backed up by video and audio, most on national television.
January 22: “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. It’s going to be just fine.”
February 2: “We pretty much shut it down coming in from China.”
February 24: “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA… Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”
February 25: “CDC and my Administration are doing a GREAT job of handling Coronavirus.”
February 25: “I think that's a problem that’s going to go away… They have studied it. They know very much. In fact, we’re very close to a vaccine.”
February 26: “The 15 (cases in the US) within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero.”
February 26: “We're going very substantially down, not up.”
February 27: “One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”
February 28: “We're ordering a lot of supplies. We're ordering a lot of, uh, elements that frankly we wouldn't be ordering unless it was something like this. But we're ordering a lot of different elements of medical.”
March 2: “You take a solid flu vaccine, you don't think that could have an impact, or much of an impact, on corona?”
March 2: “A lot of things are happening, a lot of very exciting things are happening and they’re happening very rapidly.”
March 4: “If we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work — some of them go to work, but they get better.”
March 5: “I NEVER said people that are feeling sick should go to work.”
March 5: “The United States… has, as of now, only 129 cases… and 11 deaths. We are working very hard to keep these numbers as low as possible!”
March 6: “I think we’re doing a really good job in this country at keeping it down… a tremendous job at keeping it down.”
March 6: “Anybody right now, and yesterday, anybody that needs a test gets a test. They’re there. And the tests are beautiful…. the tests are all perfect like the letter was perfect. The transcription was perfect. Right? This was not as perfect as that but pretty good.”
March 6: “I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it… Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president.”
March 6: “I don't need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn't our fault.”
March 8: “We have a perfectly coordinated and fine tuned plan at the White House for our attack on CoronaVirus.”
March 9: “This blindsided the world.”
March 13: " Declaration of National Emergency"

Got some butthurt reporters in this thread.

It’s sickening watching them. All they are there for is a “gotcha” moment on Trump.

He gets called on his shite and deflects like a 13 year old and tries to make everyone else the enemy. It's a tired game.
