President Trump is traveling the midwest campaigning today, but CNN’s Brian Stelter thinks he should instead be leading coronavirus task force briefings, and that he’ll be negatively judged in the future for not having done so:
Someday we're going to look back and wonder, why wasn't the president leading daily coronavirus task force briefings from the White House when the virus ripped across the country in late October of 2020?

Nobody can create “no matter what Trump does or says we’ll do or say the opposite” scenarios like CNN:
Even if he did, how would the CNN viewers know? https://t.co/6uhEDMGVfT

And if he were doing it, CNN would decide not to run them. https://t.co/nT9Thkj5Pt

Didn't your network stop showing them long before he stopped giving them? https://t.co/ldFuZU18FV

They hated his briefings when he did them and refused to air them. Now they complain he’s not holding them. https://t.co/iWFykZbQld

Fact check: TRUE:
Actually Brian, we will not wonder — YOU called for the end of these briefings. https://t.co/pkR1UfAXMY pic.twitter.com/QWIu1nVt4x

THIS. Is CNN.
NARRATOR: No, we will not look back and wonder.
Because the pandemic will be history and people don't give a shit about press briefings. https://t.co/djh5M2U3xC

CNN and a whole bunch of other outlets refused to cover Trump’s coronavirus briefings when he was holding them daily. https://t.co/CmkymdMPY3

I love how the media gaslights us.

Remember when news networks stopped reporting the number of soldiers killed and wounded from 2009 to 2016? https://t.co/oFHlruDC1t

Has the Deaths to Cases ratio changed?
What has changed?
Therapeutics! Survival rate of 99.9%!
We don't need daily briefings.
We do need the media to breathe, Brian.— Sandy 〽️ (@RightGlockMom) October 30, 2020
Nevertheless, the media will continue to hyperventilate.
