Trump uses coronavirus briefing to fire back at critics
By Brett Samuels - 04/13/20 06:31 PM EDT

President Trump on Monday used the White House briefing room to lash out at critics of his response to the coronavirus outbreak, rattling off a litany of grievances about press coverage and airing a reel of cable news footage that portrayed his actions in a positive light.

The president sought to use a briefing ostensibly intended to inform the American public about the latest developments in the battle against the virus to frame his handling of the pandemic as a success. He bristled at any criticism and picking a fight with journalists in the room before experts delivered any update on the disease that has killed more than 22,000 in the U.S.

"I would love to be able to say that we have a very honest press… and I don’t mind being criticized, but not when they’re wrong," he said. "Not when people have done such a great job."


The president's opening remarks appeared to be an extension of his weekend Twitter storm in which he stewed over a New York Times story that found he was warned repeatedly about the threat of a potential pandemic.

'Propaganda session': CNN mocks 'angry' Trump press conference with critical chyrons



by Madison Dibble
 | April 13, 2020 07:11 PM



CNN wasn't thrilled by President Trump's latest press briefing, and the network let their chyrons show it.

Throughout the Monday press conference, CNN ran banners on the lower third of the screen mocking the president after he shared a video highlighting praise of his response to the coronavirus pandemic. The network broke into the coverage for a brief segment in which CNN's chief national correspondent John King called Trump's video "propaganda."

"That was propaganda aired in the briefing room," King said. "It was cherry-picked."

When the network returned to the briefing, producers included chyrons that read:

    "Trump uses task force briefing to try and rewrite history on coronavirus response"
    "Trump melts down in angry response to reports he ignored virus warnings"
    "Trump refuses to acknowledge any mistakes"
    "Trump attacks media after series of reports he ignored warnings as virus spread"
    "Angry Trump uses propaganda video produced by government employees at taxpayer's expense"
    "Angry Trump turns briefing into propaganda session"

He did, he is informing the American Public to the fact that these people are nothing but propagandists, not reporters.

If you want to see a video of today's press conference I think it's probably going to be a scary high school drivers-ed film later this week.
