You mean like all the rest of the mainstream media are just mouthpieces for the Democratic party?
the editorial board of the ny times, one of trump's favourite targets, has called on may 1 for an investigation of tara reade's allegations against joe biden. something which trump himself has shied from so far to my knowledge
in the parallel universe the trump fan clubs lives in, when anybody dares to critique trump or points out his failings it automatically means that theyre siding with the democrats
trump's handling of the crisis is a debacle for the ages and media outlets that sweep this under the rug because of their conservative editorial stance, arent doing their job. theyre just propaganda like the pravda was for the soviet union
Governor Lamont stunned by the tepid response to reopening in Connecticut:

I will be doing my part to pump some money into the local economy here by attending a meeting at a local restaurant on Sunday. Beer, fried seafood, lobster rolls, hamburgers and hot dogs will be served.

On Trump's handling of the current public health crisis, 41% of voters who responded to the survey approve it, and 56% disapprove of it, down from 46% approval versus 51% disapproval recorded in April.
I don't understand that another 41% of Americans approve of Trump's handling of the crisis.

I think it's pretty easy to understand. The people who want the economy and their lives back are approving of Trump efforts to promote reopening. There are many small business owners suffering terribly loan or no loan, and their concerns should not be summarily dismissed. They are facing bankruptcy in many cases and they will not be getting bailed out the same way as airlines are.

It shouldn't need to be pointed out that while every media outlet has a bias, some are partisan to a ridiculous degree. To be fair, the NY Post isn't as bad a Breitbart, but it's not a lot better either.
[Q CNN does aim to provide journalism.[/QUOTE]
No, it does not. The international reporting practically disappeared, and every internal reporting ends up with the connection to Trump shortcomings. There is practically no exception and looks like a communist propaganda with the mandatory reference to Marxism-Leninism. It became propaganda channel pure and simple that does not leave any room for people to form their own opinion. Fox is not better, but it always was like that whereas transformation of the CNN occurred rapidly after the Tramp election.

I watch ABC and I find their reporting fair and to the point. If Tramp gets caught in a lie, which happens almost daily....why should they hold back from reporting it ?
Lester Holt on NBC is the man- he shoots it straight. There is no smugness in his delivery like you see with Anderson Cooper on CNN, who frankly is a somewhat entitled prick who grew up with the silverest of spoons in his mouth as an Heir of the Vanderbilt fortune. I do give him credit for not being a trust fund baby his whole life and at least doing something with himself, but he is an entitled prick nonetheless.
Dude, the only one I can see go head to head with trump in a debate is Pelosi. Can’t think of anyone else who would even come close, even Cuomo. All would get slaughtered
Swedish experiment with loose restrictions and "herd immunity" is discussed:
www.cnn.com
Seems like they should also look at the data on the Swedish economy vs those of other countries for a full cost/benefit analysis.
Sweden is still nowhere near 'herd immunity,' even though it didn't go into lockdown | CNN
Sweden has revealed that despite adopting more relaxed measures to control coronavirus, only 7.3% of people in Stockholm had developed the antibodies needed to fight the disease by late April.

Nothing wrong with their brains/mental capacity , they knew too well that the death toll would be in the thousands
The Latino Trump and many likeminded conservative/far right leaders like him will always prioritize and worry about their economies first instead of showing more compassion for human life ..... leave that to the Liberals around the world
The conservatives have been downplaying this covid_19 crises since day one
All the cases are in San Paulo. I remember when I was in Rio my boss used to take me to 4X4 in centro before dinner @ his home. I’d make him stop for Açaí before we headed to a terma. @ the terma he’d buy me drinks and tell the bartender and DJ to my music. His wife was awesome and always guaranteed a great meal. Really lovely country and people, kinda sad what’s happening to them

That monkey brained Bolsonaro is a criminal and should be thrown in jail. He is in denial and when asked a month ago if he was worried about the pandemic he replied that Brazilians are tough and they won`t get sick because they swim in sewers and have built up a resistance to viruses. A week ago when asked about the out of control epidemic in his country...he answered with a dumb as hell question....."what can I do ?" Take a bullet in the brain and save tens of thousands of lives is what he can do.
Luckily most of the states and large cities are ignoring him and doing their best, with limited resources, to fight this plague.

Trump has been talking about a travel ban to Latin America partly due to what is going on in Brazil. You don't want someone else's headaches becoming your headaches. That travel ban could happen any day now.
Not exactly my friend. The state of Sau Paulo has less than 25% of the cases in Brazil.
That`s almost like saying that Montreal has all the cases in Canada.
BTW why is that idiot Tramp still allowing travel to and from Brazil weeks after he closed the border with Canada ?
Well said Cloudy , it’s pretty sad what’s happening down there but it doesn’t surprise one bit , I was expecting that
Limited resources, not much help so they are trying to cope as best they can
One thing that bothers me is that our government has gone above and beyond to protect the ones at risk , so much information and effort to protect our population ... they’ve sent Billions and Billions of dollars to millions of households that were in need of financial help so they wouldn’t have to worry about the essentials ,,, but still what do some people do ? They keep complaining about how big government is stealing their civil liberties and freedoms .... a lot of stupid people just don’t know how good they have it compared to other countries and that in itself is sad
