Useful idiocy: Rachel Maddow and NYT health and science writer discuss all the ways China's handling of COVID19 is superior to America's [video]

Last night, Rachel Maddow interviewed New York Times health and science reporter Donald McNeil about COVID19. She thought the segment was worth sharing and spreading around:

Wow.

Clear, concise, and informative. Thank you doctor.

McNeil’s not a doctor. But he is a useful idiot on TV!

Guess the New York Times, Rachel Maddow, and the rest have received and taken to heart their new talking points that ackshually, we should be more like China.

Pass.

Shilling for the country that is solely and exclusively at fault for the spread of this virus through its oppressive and brutal tactics and secrecy is a… predictable look for Maddow.

The amount of PR the left is doing for China after they obfuscated about the virus for months and jailed whistleblowers until it got out of hand and led to a global pandemic is outrageous. https://t.co/aLXTHfl0Ni
