Coronavirus

After the officially confirmed number of deaths caused by coronavirus in the United States passed the official number for  Italy on Saturday, the evening networks rushed to questionably portray the U.S. as having the highest number of deaths without mentioning that the number of fatalities in China is believed to be higher. The networks also failed to put into context that most countries in…

The New York Times most classless columnist, Paul Krugman, hit all his usual tropes in Friday’s New York Times with the borderline-hysterical “American  Democracy May Be Dying.” It’s the same paranoia and exploitation of national tragedy that he shows whenever a Republican gains the presidency, and you’re an ignorant sheep if you’re not as terrified as he is: "If you say that something similar…

Got those quarantine blues? Here's something to brighten your day! Joy Reid treated us to a trifecta of goofs and questionable calls on her MSNBC show this morning.

CNN’s so-called “Reliable Sources” was known for being a place where professional journalism was shunned in favor of hysterics and theatrics. During Sunday’s edition of the show, frequent guest David Zurawik, a media critic for The Baltimore Sun newspaper, was unhinged from the get-go as he blamed the over 20,000 Wuhan Virus deaths in the U.S. on President Trump, who was “acting a fool” according…

After getting rebuked by the National Center for Medical Intelligence on Wednesday for pumping out fake news that President Trump knew about the Wuhan Virus back in November, ABC was desperate to find a way to suggest Trump had blood on his hands. Over the weekend, a dubious New York Times report gave ABC the cover they needed to resurrect their bogus story.

Magic Johnson's reckless behavior as an NBA player led to an HIV diagnosis and early retirement from the L.A. Lakers. Astonishingly, in a USA Today story Friday, he disgustingly compares his plight to people who, through no fault of their own, have contracted or died from the coronavirus.

A pro-Trump troll pranked CNN hard on Thursday night during their "global town hall" on coronavirus "facts and fears" with Anderson Cooper and Dr. Sanjay Gupta. Someone in the CNN control room isn't familiar with conservative terms like Trump Derangement Syndrome. When the audience was asked to send questions for Dr. James Redfield, the head of the Centers for Disease Control, one that managed to…

LEAVE CHINA ALONE!!! The scientific journal Nature doesn't exactly say that in its April 7 editorial but the title sure gives off that same vibe: "Stop the coronavirus stigma now." The subhead complains "The pandemic is fuelling deplorable racism and discrimination, especially against Asian people."

On Saturday, Washington Post media reporter Paul Farhi reported on Fox News with the hyperbolic headline “Up-in-arms Fox hosts fuel a drug war.” This might spur mental pictures of Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham flying a plane dropping herbicides on the coca fields. But it’s not an illegal or addictive drug. It's hydroxychloroquine. Farhi weirdly claimed other outlets were "cautious and hedged,"…

Easter weekend is always a meaningful time of the year and it may mean even more for people this year as the COVID-19 pandemic forces us to confront our physical mortality. If you are MSNBC's Ali Velshi, however, this holy week means more than previous years' because it helps serve as a reminder that President Trump is bad at his job.

On Friday's Real Time show on HBO, host Bill Maher delivered another of his lectures against his fellow liberals on the issue of political correctness as he argued that they should stop trying to shield China in its culpability for allowing the deadly COVID-19 virus to get out by claiming that valid criticisms of China are racist.

At the nation´s Spanish-speaking media, the word “controversy” seems fit for use in just about any report about the coronavirus and the measures taken by the Trump administration to contain it, as well as to mitigate the economic hardships it has triggered.

On the PBS NewsHour Friday night, pundits David Brooks and Mark Shields trashed President Trump's "North Korean-style loyalty tests" and praised Bernie Sanders. Brooks said a commission to make recommendations on reopening the economy is a good thing, but there's the sense that being nice to President Trump is essential to being appointed. 

Supposedly doing the work of the American taxpayers as a PBS correspondent, Yamiche Alcindor used Friday’s White House Coronavirus Task Force daily briefing to try and cancel U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams for urging racial minorities to, along with following CDC coronavirus guidelines, avoid the use of alcohol and drugs for the well-being of “your abuela,” “granddaddy,” “big mama,” and “pop-…
