"Dear news outlets, I don't care about last nights scream fest. Let's talk about the coronavirus."



Tanya Bradsher @TanyaBradsher08

Dear news outlets, I don’t care about last nights scream fest. Let’s talk about the coronavirus, we have a service member who test positive in Korea, CDC is short staffed and no one in the U.S. is in charge of the response. Let’s talk about that today

They didn't ask many questions of substance and everyone noticed.

The networks are NOT asking the questions most important to all Americans. They've abdicated their responsibility to inform the public in a meaningful way.

Kick it back to the League - *they* held meaningful debates!

We need the production of test kits ramped up to a 1000 a day.
We need the CDC to start reporting on a state by state basis the number of positives so we know when to start wearing our PPE and limit the number of exposures.

There had better be some planning going on behind the scenes like keep the utilities up and running when 70% of the workers have the virus and recovery takes 3-6 weeks for pneumonia because denial to save the wall street typhoons pockets is not hlepful to the general public.

They allow and facilitate Don the Con's vulgar spewing of hate and repetition of lies 24/fucking/seven.
The debate behavior was mild to what they have normalized with the Con.

Fuck their fake outrage. They have been telling us for four years that 'that's just his style'.
Fuck that shit.
