WNU Editor: Yesterday's media melt-down during the Coronavirus Task Force briefing at the White House was quite a sight to see (see above video). The complete Coronavirus Task Force briefing is below:
The video that got the media to react was this one (see below).

I have learned over the years that nothing gets the main stream media worked up is when their past reporting (that was wrong) is shown and pointed out publicly. And that was on full display yesterday. The labelling of President Trump's video by many in the media of their past errors, mistakes, and wrong reporting as propaganda was priceless.
But it was clear from yesterday's briefing that CBS reporter Paula Reid was looking for a fight when she went after Dr. Fauci.
Dr. Fauci got the angriest I've seen him in 35 years of watching him - going back to the AIDS epidemic - at the suggestion that he's saying and doing things he doesn't believe because he's forced to by Trump in order to keep his job:pic.twitter.com/KTU9lYs0nS— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) April 13, 2020
Update #1: The most important part of yesterday's briefing was how the PPE shortages that many are worried about has been addressed, and that there will be no shortages for front-line workers. This news impacts millions of lives, but was totally disregarded in yesterday's news reports.
Update #2: This commentator is 100% right .... No institution has failed the public worse than the news media during the COVID-19 pandemic (Becket Adams, Washington Examiner). Everyday I watch news conferences pertaining to the Covid-19 coronavirus from Canada, the U.K., Australia, and France. Questions are always focused on the Covid-19 crisis, and what are the government's policies and measures that will be taken. Usually at the end, at least in my case where I live in Canada, I have a good idea on what to expect in the coming days that will impact my life. White House press briefings are focused on gotcha questions and an anti-Trump narrative. This may be red meat for those who despise the President, but for everyone else this is useless, and it is only exposing the media's prejudices and biases.
Update #3: Under the category that you cannot make this up. And talk about timing. CNN host Chris Cuomo admits that he lies for a living, and that he basically despises his audience .... Coronavirus-stricken Chris Cuomo trashes CNN gig during radio show meltdown (New York Post). More here .... 'I don't like what I do professionally': Chris Cuomo has extraordinary meltdown on radio show as he blasts his own CNN job as 'trafficking in things that I think are ridiculous' (Daily Mail)
Update #4: President Trump is also not perfect .... President Trump Says Coronavirus Under Control In The U.S. (February 24, 2020).

Haven't been watching these. The disrespect is intolerable to me.
Fauci has said that we should not open up the country until we have a vaccine.
This is deceitful.
Some people have said it would take 18 months to develop and evaluate a vaccine by the deliberate, slow, sedate pace of the 'researchers.'
Slow or fast, a vaccine development or waiting for one will have a cost.
The original COVID pandemic SARS has no vaccine and it has been what 18 years?
So when they say wait 18 months for a vaccine before you breathe, they can GTH.
It will be safe to go out in the fall, after the election, after we have a Democrat elected. After we lose 28 million ballots like we always do.
"I mean, he (Fauci) has said he has not considered economic or societal or social fallout for his remedy for the epidemic. And if that's the case, I think he gets some credit for where we stand today, but I think it's time for him to move on."
— Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs
So Fauci has not been looking at everything.So he by definition hasn't been doing risk management.
Trump is right. Corona is under control outside of liberal shit holes.
I live in a metro area of a million people. The number of people dead are elderly and most if not all already in homes. You can count them on 1 hand.
You want to contain Corona virus, then build a wall around NYC like in "Escape from NY". I say that in part in jest, but seriously look how poorly run that city is by Sandinista loving De Blasio. How much PPE could have been bought with all the millions, de Blasio forked over to his lesbian wife for something or other?
LOL - Trump needs to play that everyday at the beginning of every press briefing.
There's lots more where that came from. Create more montages and run them every single day.
/and by the way, it ain't "propaganda" - as it's being labeled by the so-called reporters in the vid - it's actual sound bites from the starring cast.

Rush has been doing montages for 3 decades or longer. This is probably the 1st time an American president has done it and a Republican one at that.
This is strictly verbottten!
Republicans should know their place.
Democrats are the Harlem Globetrotters, all stars!
Republicans are the Washington Generals, losers.
Republicans must not fight back or else all is lost.
You might be bright. You might be knowledgeable. You might care ... a lot. but as soon as you sign up for the Generals instead of the Globetrotters, you are suppose to know you part in the DC kabuki theater.
Trump could have handled that media briefing better by remaining calm and collect rather than coming across as a bumbling stressed president resorting to a higher tone. IF you only end up shouting louder than the one shouting at you, it's you that comes across as the raving loo-lah.
Coumo looks to have had an easy life & has had everything given to him. He comes across as a 15 year old boy trapped in a 60 year olds body. If the biker was within arms reach Cuomo should have punched him, but he didn't. 'I couldn't hit him because I'm filthy stinking rich n famous' is pathetic. The biker would have dropped 'the tough guy' 🖖😉
2:31,
I know you are serious. I think you are seriously smug and seriously stupid. No helping that.
This press corps has been at it for 3+ years. Would you put up with this shit for 3+ years?
Sam Donaldson use to run after Reagan shouting questions to try make it look like he was running away. After you spend some time with reporters, it is time to move on to the next event. After Reagan got shot, I doubt that he could run. But there Sam Donaldson was a major network news anchor and prominent Democrat hassling the president. Thta was 4 decades ago, Nothing has changed.
If there is a Republican president, Liberal press reporters use every chance they get to hassle them.
Why put up with that shit? These reporters are dumber than your plumber, electricians, farmer, and so many other people.
You put up with small children, but reporters do not have that excuse.
"Doctors are now wondering if ventilators actually accelerate death or kill Covid patients. And with death rates of 80% or more for those put on ventilators, they surely should wonder. Anything that results in death 80% of the time should be questioned."
Buffoon governors and buffoonish clown car reporters ask for "Moar, Maor, Moar, Ventilators."
Two nights ago the spouse read a news story and said that a ventilator tube had cemented into a patient. That is the mucus/phlegm or whatever of the patient had cemented the tube to the patients throat.
This should be an opportunity for liberals . Bird Nest soup should be in short supply due to overharvesting. So maybe someone from the abortion industry that gets off and gets rich from harvesting baby parts, could harvest the mucus from dead ventilator patients and sell it to the East Asian market. It would be the liberal thing to do.
Meanwhile a simple fix is to lay patients in their stomachs instead of their back to increase their oxygen level. It woulds also help for people to lose their tires and be able to breathe then to be sent to a liberal ventilator farm, where they would be harvested for profit.
