The American Press Is Destroying Itself by @mtaibbi taibbi.substack.com/p/the-ne…
This is a gigantic lie told by Joe Biden. He DID NOT call for a nationwide lockdown in January in response to the coronavirus. If that were true, why did he keep holding campaign rallies into the 2nd week of March? He can’t be allowed to revise history.

Just-the-flu journalists failed across the board. That includes Fox, and the NYT reporter now denouncing Fox.

CNN Flooded Zone With Kavanaugh Coverage. Hasn't Mentioned Biden's Accuser Once. thefederalist.com/2020/04/16…

The PPP program is going to run out of funding soon - the Senate should approve add’l funding by unanimous consent ASAP. Small businesses need our help to survive during this emergency.
I support providing additional funding to the PPP to help AZ businesses keep workers employed during this public health crisis. The Senate should act this week to further fund the PPP by unanimous consent.

With Trump calling out the media for pushing fake Chinese numbers on coronavirus cases, I suspect that reporting will soon be memory-holed. So I put together a thread with plenty of examples, grouped by outlet. If we don’t demand accountability, we aren’t going to get any.

Amazing
Let us remember this was the guy who demanded 30,000 ventilators and said 26,000 could die if he didn’t get them. He didn’t get them and 26K didn’t die for lack of them. Now....
Everyone who thinks coronavirus is harmless or doesn’t matter should rethink that opinion immediately. This is an extremely dangerous pathogen with wide spreading implications, including neurological impairment, brain, lung, heart & reproductive damage. A thread on (#COVID19):

This has become the most predictable two-step in politics. Somebody accidentally writes what happened and then the in-house Democrat stenography team deploys the mind eraser.
CNN wasting no time to provide cover for Democrats. 10:36 AM 11:15 AM
