Americans Deem Media Worst at Response to Coronavirus

4. Americans Deem Media Worst at Response to Coronavirus In a list that spans U.S. Hospitals to Congress and even Pence, the news media finishes dead last.  They are the only one on the list with a higher disapproval than approval rating (Gallup).  From David Harsanyi: This reality is a disaster for a liberal democracy, and much of it is brought on by the press’s own blinkered, sanctimonious, and transparently partisan temperament. On this topic, I could provide a book-length list of grievances. Every day brings an exasperating number of misleading and bad-faith takes by political journalists and “fact-checkers” (National Review).  The New York Times has been accused of misinforming the public on the number of needed ventilators, and got corrected by former New York Times writer Alex Berenson (Red State).  From Hugh Hewitt: Dr. Birx just rebuked people talking about DNRs or ventilator shortages that don’t exist. She is pressing down on the panic mongers. Hope that message gets through (twitter).  CNN wasn’t all that interested in the coronavirus task force, cutting away to hear from their own “experts” (Washington Examiner).
