Unreflective Press

For John, BLUF:  From Walter Duranty to the Wuhan Virus, The New York Times Has been more about the "Party Line" and less about the truth the American People need.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Watch:  35 Times The Media Said ‘Wuhan’ Or ‘Chinese Coronavirus’ – But They Blame The GOP

From MRC TV, by Mr Eric Scheiner, 12 March 2020.

Here is the lede plus two:

The leftist media are claiming President Trump and the GOP are up to something sinister if they’ve ever referred to the Coronavirus as the “Wuhan or Chinese Coronavirus,” but they seem okay if they say it.

“We are starting to see a message shift here,” CNN’s Chris Cuomo said on Wednesday.  “Because you are starting to hear the Republicans, especially Trump Co. calling it the Wuhan or the Chinese Coronavirus, they’re looking for someone to blame.”

Hey, Fake News Fredo, if you’re looking for someone to blame for saying “Wuhan Coronavirus” try looking in a mirror, or maybe watch your own network.

From the blog Legal Insurrection we have NY Times reporter:  “disdain for and distrust of the media right now is worse than I’ve seen at any point throughout this presidency”, posted by William A. Jacobson.

Maybe The Paper of Record (no, not The Babylon Bee) could do an in-depth article on when Wuhan was OK and when it became bad, and why.  Otherwise, a lot of us will just struggle along with a high distrust of the Mainstream Media, wondering when arrogance replaced competence.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
