I can't even imagine the national outrage if Obama had bragged about the ratings his briefings were getting because of a national crisis. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallend 2,027 #3 March 30, 2020 Chicago Tribune 3/30/2020 During a pandemic such as this, news organizations have an obligation to provide access to all of the information available. Regardless of Trump’s ineptitude or motives, he is at the helm of the nation right now. It’s in the public’s best interest to keep tabs on what he’s up to. Whether people like — or trust — what he says, they needed to hear him try to explain how he would reopen the country for business by Easter. People needed to hear him outright lie about the availability of test kits. They needed to see him look reporters in the eye and say he always knew this was a pandemic, though everyone knows he did not. The public needs to hear everything Trump and his coronavirus task force have to say about the pandemic. It then becomes the public’s responsibility to decipher it and decide what is useful.
