Enemy of the People? - Give Me Your Worst COVID Journalistic Crimes
Posted on 3/29/20 at 3:16 pm

News outlets/Journalists should be held accountable (by public discrediting) when this over. Suffocate ad revenue, get people fired, etc. It probably won't happen because conservatives suck at boycotts and most of the country already hates the media, but I think it's worth compiling a list. So who goes on the list for you and why?
I'm trying to avoid the usual suspects who aren't journalists by any standard and who we all knew sucked already (Brian Stelter, Chuck Todd):
Maggie Haberman - Her slander of Dr Birx - while the Doctor is serving the country in a time of crisis - is unforgivable. A female physician of the highest reputation who worked in the Obama administration is treated like pure shite for the unforgivable crime of getting along with POTUS. Haberman has long gotten a pass for how she "begs questions" instead of directly attacking the administration. Unnamed sources, "administration whispers", etc. - shite that will never be verified and that she can't be held accountable on.
NBC News & Reuters - The two worst offenders I've seen for direct and unquestioning regurgitation of Chinese propaganda. I don't expect Reuters to be American in orientation (even by journalistic standards), but a western news agency promoting blatant Chinese misinformation while a Chinese virus ravages the US/Europe must have business consequences, no?

It would never happen but the proper response to the network media going off the rails would be to pull the FCC licenses of the major networks.
They have been granted special legal status and they have an obligation to not spread Chinese propaganda or intentionally harm the country.
If they want to do that, they can do it independently without the luxury of an FCC licensed network to spew their bile from.

There are so many to list and the sad part is, as the news gets better for us, the worse these people will act.
At this point, it is obvious the media wants piles of bodies. They are craving it.
But, out of all of these actions, number one is their consistent promotion of Chinese propaganda, despite the fact that China kicked them to the curb a week ago.
Watching Dem voters go on Twitter, social media, and even places like here parroting that propaganda is frightening.

Any network that ran any story regarding the following:
1. Trump call the Coronavirus a hoax
2. Trump’s China travel ban is an overreaction and/or racist and/or xenophobic
3. Trump disbanded pandemic response team at NSC
4. Trump said he’s going to open everything back up by Easter Sunday even if against expert advice
5. Trump’s treatment/medication advice kills man and injures his wife
6. Trump rejected WHO tests

Don't forget when Trump put together a COVID task force in January, he was then called a racist (again) AND a sexist because the first pic of the team was all white men.
Then, we got ANOTHER reminder from the media this wasn't a big deal and China had it under control.

Don’t forget our Chinese bought and paid for media being more occupied with Trump calling it the Chinese virus than the virus itself

Too many to name. Non-stop lying everyday.

Failing (refusing?) to report the direct links between Wuhan and Lombardy, Italy (the epicenter of the Italian Wuhan flu crisis)

quote:
Many Italians in Northern Italy have sold their leather goods and textiles companies to China. Italy then allowed 100,000 Chinese workers from Wuhan and Wenzhou to move to Italy to work in these factories, with direct flights between Wuhan and Northern Italy. This continued post outbreak, so is it mere coincidence that Northern Italy is now Europe’s hotspot for Corona Virus?

True, after calling it the Chinese virus themselves, then the count from CBS making up the "Kung Flu" lie. She still to this day has not named the supposed person that said it.
Also, see Crimson Wrath's thread on ABC's praise of China giving countries all these defective medical supplies.

Creating a panic by covering every single death of this like it’s the apocalypse. The media created this by constantly reporting trump wasn’t doing enough and that it was more serious than it ever was or is.

NPR this morning interviewed a dr who they were claiming was an emergency room dr in brooklyn. By the end of the call, the doc had claimed:
100-200 people per day from their ER;
They have no extra vents in NY;
Their call center gets 6000 911 calls a day;
She has seen people come in with lower GI infections that she can "tell" by looking at them its covid related.
Oh...and by the end of the call, the doc had admitted shes just a tele-doc and doesnt go into the ER. The NPR host just backed it all up and shared their disgust with federal government not doing enough.

The actions of some of these "journalists" has risen to treason. It'll never happen, but I'd love to see the hacks that spew the 100% copy/pasted talking points from the CCP get arrested for it.

I'd settle for serious career impairment at this point. There will always be a contingent of the country that supports anyone who wages war on Trump. But to the extent we can ensure that Chuck Todd can never go into a genuinely neutral forum and not have "blood on his hands" thrown in his face - I'd take that.

I know the downvotes mean nothing, but who in their right freaking mind downvotes the truth?
You may not agree with Wikileaks, but they have yet to be wrong when any info like this has been released.
Advice for the non-believer - Contrary to Fredo Cuomo, it is NOT ILLEGAL to do some research and see for yourself the level of corruption contained in those Wikileaks Drops.
Let me say that it is an awakening you cannot forget.

Look at the ownership.
CNN is owned by AT&T which is heavily invested in Red China.

Don't forget the reporting on the family who died from "Trump's cure" of chloroquine, never mind it wasn't the medicinal version but the fish tank version. So far that's led to at least one governor (actually) outlawing it as a potential treatment option.
