Title: CNN Criticizes Trump For Downplaying Virus Threat By Not Dying
Post by: Wingnut on October 07, 2020, 11:01:17 pm
WASHINGTON, D.C—President Donald Trump is once again under fire from the media for recklessly downplaying the danger of COVID by refusing to die. As the president begins to show signs of recovery, many worry that this sends the wrong message about the seriousness of the global pandemic. 

“Every hour that he lives is another hour that the severity of this virus is undermined!” said reporter Sara Grace Major for CNN. “Why won’t he just DIE and show the American people how deadly this virus truly is?”

“Mr. President, are you sure you don’t need to lie down indefinitely or go on a ventilator?” asked another distraught journalist. “Maybe even say goodbye to your loved ones?!”

Its instructive that although the rat media has been after Trump since before Jan 2017 the thing that really sent them over was Trump telling everyone to 'don't be afraid' of the virus. The Corona and Americans being terrified of it means everything to them.

This is just another case of "if a Dem pol said the same thing...etcetera, etcetera"
What was Trump supposed to say? ..cower down in a fetal position and be afraid of going out of your basement for the next ten years?
Trump was basically saying: face life...don't fail to live your life and be worried about dying every single second.
What was wrong with that? 
Well, we all know the media wants to keep the American public scared of going within 100 feet of anybody else. Until Biden gets elected prez.

The BB's satire is often so close to reality it is sometimes difficult to separate their fiction from reality. I would bet 99% of lib scribblers and talking heads do wish Trump would have died after  getting the virus and are quite upset that he seems to be recovering nicely.

I don't see these quotes verified anywhere other than as part of news stories on far right sources....and their agenda is obvious.   As the far left sources are obvious....

Thanks for that!!!  (Sometimes I want to fact check when I don't need to; I've worked in libraries so I have "the bug.")   Ah, the Onion!  Reminds me of a fav headline, "Blue Angels Hold First-Ever Open Tryouts".....
