At Wednesday’s coronavirus press briefing, a leftist reporter from a leftist network tried to get the better of President Trump. She immediately regretted it.
Fox News reports, “CBS News correspondent Paula Reid asked the president if his recently announced goal of reopening the economy by Easter was solely a political strategy. ‘You’ve tweeted earlier linking the closing of the country to your election success in November. Is this Easter timeline based on your political interests?’ Reid asked. ‘What do you mean it’s about my election success? No,’ Trump responded. ‘You said that the media wants the country to remain [closed] to hurt your odds of being reelected,’ Reid continued. ‘No, the media would like to see me do poorly in the election,'” Trump said.

The CBS News reporter grilled the president, saying lawmakers and economists have warned that opening the economy by Easter “is not a good idea.” But Trump pushed back: “Just so that you understand, are you ready? I think that there are certain people who would like it not to open so quickly, I think there are certain people that would like it to do financially poorly because they think that would be very good as far as defeating me at the polls,” Trump told Reid. “And I don’t know if that’s so, but I do think it’s so that there are people in your profession that would like that to happen.”
He continued, “I think it’s very clear that there are people in your profession that write fake news. You do, she does, there are people in your profession that write fake news. They would love to see me, for whatever reason, because we’ve done one helluva job. Nobody’s done the job that we’ve done—and it’s lucky that you have this group here right now for this problem or you wouldn’t even have a country left.”

In the most blatant bias ever seen in the history of presidential reporting, the mainstream media has ripped away any pretense of objectivity and, together with their Democrat allies, have begun an open campaign to harass and impede the president as he fights for the life of this country.
They do this in the knowledge that this nation is in a crisis. What they and the Democrats hope to do is profit politically from the crisis at the expense of the nation and the American people. Their effort is unprecedented in its vileness and naked grab for power.
