'Really is incredible': Thread proves media's goal post shifting on Trump and the vaccine has been beyond shameless

For much of the year many in the media mocked President Trump’s prediction that a coronavirus vaccine could be available before the end of 2020 — and then, it came to pass. The media then praised the president’s optimism and aggressive, successful push for a vaccine. Just kidding! They then started a new narrative: The vaccine rollout is too slow.

This thread captures some examples of the media shamelessness:

It really is incredible watching the same members of the press that claimed there was almost no chance we would get a vaccine this year now complain we’ve only vaccinated 3-4 million people so far in a few weeks. pic.twitter.com/BnzZgKL2F2

Or the ones who spent months (wrongly) suggesting the Trump admin was irresponsibly rushing the vaccine by targeting this year now complaining they are a few weeks behind schedule to hit 20m vaccinated. pic.twitter.com/6wO9CRXAZD

NBC News went from months of claiming “it would take a miracle to see a vaccine this year!” to complaining about the rate of the administration in December. pic.twitter.com/lBoiFwxXMo

So many “journalists” will never admit they were wrong or that it was improper to speculate just because they hate Trump. Instead they just move on to the next talking point.

Not really incredible…
Just par for the hypocritical course… https://t.co/5llW45o8Az
