Bad Journalism, Worse Politics in Covid Crisis

Some elected officials have used the desperation of Americans for funds, while their businesses are closed and their jobs are suspended, for partisan purposes. This has been largely ignored by the media. Similarly, the culpability of some politicians in allowing the pandemic to spread in the regions they manage has not been adequately discussed.

There has not been ample coverage of the actions by Speaker Pelosi, who threatened the urgently needed CARES act by attempting to include measures that would have the practical effect of encouraging voter fraud and increase her party’s chances of winning the 2020 election.  Nor has there been sufficient analysis of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s absurd bid to include illegal aliens in the distribution of stimulus checks.

Largely absent from the unctuous comments by television journalists is the role played by irresponsible electeds and pundits who vehemently criticized President Trump in January when he closed off travel to the United States from China. They have not acknowledged their mistake in calling him “xenophobic” and “racist” for taking a stand that they irrationally proclaimed, at the time, to be unnecessary.

New York City has indeed been the epicenter of America’s Covid infection.  It is time for a blunt and honest discussion why.  The astounding irresponsibility of statements made by New York City officials earlier this year urging large-scale participation in crowd-heavy events such as the Chinese Lunar New Year, and to use the subways to travel to them, has been conveniently forgotten by media moguls.

While some localities logically, prudently and timely closed their school systems in the face of the pandemic, NYC Mayor de Blasio insisted on keeping them open. He only relented when forced to do so in the face of a threatened law suit by teachers, and the increasing trend of parents to wisely keep their offspring home. Mayor de Blasio’s hometown newspaper, the New York Post  reports that “A pregnant teacher who was hospitalized for Covid-19 says the city refused to close her Brooklyn school — even after she turned over positive lab results — while five colleagues also fell ill from the virus… ‘I had a lab report and a letter from my doctor. It still wasn’t good enough,’ the fourth-grade special-ed teacher told The Post.”

The Post  also noted that as late as March 13, de Blasio urged city residents to “carry on with their normal lives.”

While inexcusably slow to take necessary steps to contain the disease’s progress, de Blasio, Pelosi and others moved swiftly to ram their wholly unrelated agendas down the throats of Americans who have repeatedly rejected them.

Particularly notable is their anti-law enforcement agenda. Long before the Covid crisis, de Blasio and a number of left wing officials across the nation pushed the radical notion of releasing many offenders from jail.  They seek to do so in order to shift spending from incarceration to the large-scale government programs they favor. While eagerly releasing thugs and predators from correctional facilities, the same leftist politicians seek to diminish the ability of honest citizens to protect themselves by exercising their Second Amendment Rights.

The ultimate responsibility for the plague rests with China’s governing Communist Party, which intentionally hid the outbreak, resulting in a planetary pandemic. Instead of delving into that reality at presidential press conferences, the White House press corps instead levies charges of racism against Trump for correctly calling the contagion the “Chinese Virus,” in the same way that MERS, (Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome) is named after the region in which it originated.  

“Never waste a good crisis” preached Obama adviser Rahm Emmanuel. The medical and financial agony of Americans apparently was just too good a crisis for the left to not use for their partisan goals.
