Media Ghoulishly Cheer Coronavirus as 'Trump's Katrina'

Across the cable and broadcast news landscape the term "Trump's Katrina" is being bandied about on political roundtable discussions and analysis segments focused on COVID-19 coronavirus coverage.

Of course, before coronavirus, "Trump's Katrina" was used plenty of other times as the media's main focus in political coverage from day one of the Trump presidency to predict, cheer-on or actively engage in events that would lead to the president's destruction.

Becket Adams at the Washington Examiner details the dozens of "Katrina moments" the media has identified in just three short years, including the border crisis (which Democrats and the media insisted wasn't a crisis until they thought it could be "Trump's Katrina" and then they decided it was a crisis), and, of course, when hurricanes ripped through Houston and Puerto Rico it was a no-brainer the media would instinctively declare they were sure to be "Trump's Katrina" because, well, they're pretty lazy.

At a time when Americans are in real need of facts and information regarding a rapidly spreading, contagious disease that has proven to be devastatingly fatal in other parts of the world, the mainstream media insists on shooting this public health story through the lens of presidential electoral politics. That's because they've reached a point where it's all they know how to do.

I should have tried, several weeks ago, to copyright "Katrina-ize". More seriously, that is what the Dems and MSM are trying to do. They tried and failed with Hurricane Maria, so now they're going back to the same well with the coronavirus. There's a pretty high likelihood this dip in the well will fail, too, and people will just remember MSM and Dem ugliness, their hoping for economic disaster and people dying by the millions.

What is it about central or east Asia with pandemics anyway?
The Bubonic Plague is said to have originated in central or east Asia and carried westward along the Silk Road.
It seems most of the worst plagues throughout  history began in Asia or Africa.
I haven't read about any plagues that began in Europe or the Americas that spread worldwide.
The origin of the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918 appears to be unknown.

I hope those pampered bottoms' bidets break and they can't find any toilet paper.

They cheer at mass shootings in schools, too.
