WHY OUR MEDIA IS GARBAGE:

[T]he main catalyst in the death toll coverage is political. Prior to the pandemic, prominent progressives prayed and hoped that the U.S. economy would crash in order to "get rid of Trump." HBO's Bill Maher callously exclaimed, "Can I ask about the economy? Because this economy is going pretty well. I feel like the bottom has to fall out at some point. And by the way, I'm hoping for it. Because I think one way you get rid of Trump is a crashing economy. So, please, bring on the recession. Sorry if that hurts people, but it's either root for a recession or you lose your democracy." NBC's Richard Engel was on Maher's show and agreed with Maher's sentiment, arguing that "short-term pain might be better than long-term destruction of the Constitution." Former 2020 Democrat presidential contender Congressman John Delaney accused the other presidential candidates of "cheering on a recession because they want to stick it to Trump."

The progressive and mainstream media despise President Trump and his supporters. The media have an incentive to keep America shut down and prevent the economy from rebounding. To that end, the media will stop at nothing to prevent President Trump's re-election in 2020, even if that means financial ruin for a sizable portion of the American population.

Don't let them win.
