    He was right. There was no community spread and it was contained until Pelosi got her megaphone to advertise China Town, chuck full of people who just returned from celebrating the Chinese New Year in Wuhan. If that wasn't bad enough, with Europe hot with coronavirus, Democrats decided to invite sick foreigners to Mardi Gras.

    With New Orleans rising to prominence as the hot bed of coronavirus infection do you think John Bel Edwards will pay a price for not canceling Mardi Gras? Will Pelosi pay a price for attracting healthy Americans to China Town to mingle with people who just returned from Wuhan? Was she attempting to spike the number of infections because Democrats had no one who could beat Trump or is it that she doesn't have two neurons to rub together?

    Hearing the president's remarks each day is comforting to many Americans (like the fireside chats by FDR back in the day). It reminds us that someone is in charge and has our backs. If Americans can't get that on CNN, they will turn to Fox, that simple.

    Interesting
    And where do you get your "facts" to formulate your opinion. What is the beacon of truth that we can all trust.

    Sorry, but Trump's "fireside chats" are more like Nero's.

    You could watch the briefings in their entirety and formulate your own opinion, and refer to cdc.gov if you felt like you needed more information on something.

    Exactly.

    So? Why would anybody complain about CNN if there are so many other options? Even C-Span.

    CNN is irrelevant, they don't publish livestream broadcasts because it's not fake news

    And if he wasn't out there they would be attacking him for "hiding" and "not leading".

    For many more it's like fingernails on a chalkboard. YMMV

    I still work. I can't watch. But from the talk about the briefings, he's turning it into campaigning. Only parts of the briefing have to do with the pandemic.

    In other words, he's not being informative.
    And when he says things life 15 cases going to ZERO very soon. Or in April it will magically disappear. Who is he really informing? That is just fake BS.
    Oh, and the deep state dept that Fauci had to do a face plant?

    Yes, real informative stuff.

    15 people will go to ZERO, very soon.
    April is coming and it will magically disappear.

    People will tend to follow the leader. Until the leader is deemed to be inept. And that is why it took businesses like Disney and others to close down.
    Why governors of states shut down unnecessary business.

    They could not wait for the fed gov't, who had the tools to understand the magnitude of this and failed, to actually do something.

    Cue: but but but Dems, er pelosi.

    It’s a tough call, do you aire the flaming incompetence of the administration daily live or edit out the nonsense and aire directly after? I’d prefer the latter. The preempted local news and their ad revenue is much more valuable.

    By the way who the freak is in charge, Azar, Pence, Birx, Kushner? Nobody?
