January 2020 the Democrats were pushing phony impeachment proceeding against the president. At the same time, Trump cuts off all travel from [[China]] and forms a task force to monitor [[coronavirus]] spread. The media decided this was a chance to call Trump "[[racist]]" and "xenophobic" for restricting travel.<ref>[https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dems-media-change-tune-trump-attacks-coronavirus-china-travel-ban After attacking Trump's coronavirus-related China travel ban as xenophobic, Dems and media have changed tune, FoxNews]</ref>  The media is on record dismissing and discounting the seriousness of the situation.

Trump created the task force and put Vice-President Pence in charge.  The media decided this would not work.<ref>[https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/why-pence-unfortunate-choice-oversee-coronavirus-response-n1144021 Why Pence is an unfortunate choice to oversee coronavirus response, MSNBC]</ref>  They claim that Pence has no knowledge of healthcare and the choice endangers the public.

Daily briefing to media shows Trump has concerns but dismisses the gravity of the situation as to not alarm the public. At the time, China and the [[World Health Organization]] were providing false information claiming the virus doesn't have a human-to-human connection among other issues.  Over the next several weeks the times become more critical.  Alarm bells were going off in [[Italy]].  Experts are warning of the most serious and dire circumstances.  Armed with this data, Trump does a u-turn into crisis mode.  He will cut travel to Europe and declare national emergency at home.  The media decided to jump on board with alarming the public and claim that Trump "lied", he said we would be fine. <ref>[https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/479301-trump-says-us-has-coronavirus-totally-under-control Trump says US has coronavirus 'totally under control', TheHill]</ref>

It becomes obvious rather quickly in this pandemic that a shortage of critical gear is life threatening.  Respirators, ventilators, and other [[PPE]] as well as testing kits are in short supply.  The media demands Trump explain himself why he let this happen.  It turns out the [[Obama regime]] had depleted national stockpiles of respirators in 2010 and never replaced them.  Ventilators being scarce, Trump orders publicly-traded companies from the private sector to use their idled plants to build ventilators.  The media then decided that Trump was "at fault" for the lack of test kits.  The media blamed Trump and created fake news stories to smear him.  The test kits available at the time had a 48% failure rate.  Trump did not interfere in the procurement of test kits as alleged by the media.

Part of task force briefings has Dr. [[Anthony Fauci]] describing the current situation and measures taken while taking questions from the [[media]].  The media decided to pit Fauci versus Trump.  Everyday the media tries to drive a wedge between the two.  The media wants to write stories of how "Trump is interfering, Trump is bumbling around, Trump is the problem".

Television ratings for daily briefings are at the top of the charts.  The president's handling of the pandemic is given high marks and increased coverage improves Trump's approval numbers.  The media's 90% constant negative coverage is threatened.  A drum beat of complaining leads to calls for networks to stop broadcasting and cutting away.  [[CNN]] cuts away whenever they feel like the public should not hear.  A PBS affiliate even cancelled all coverage in its entirety due to [[Trump derangement syndrome]].

Several months into the global pandemic and the media wants to paint the picture that Trump "screwed up" by not acting fast enough.  The media discounted the seriousness back in January.  Trump had his travel bans, Trump had his task force.  Democrats were telling the people to ignore Trump's warnings and encouraged continuing on with life as normal.  The media gave a platform to various Democrat misinformation.  Then once the virus exploded worldwide, the media insisted that Trump was too busy with re-election and golfing to care.  They claimed he "wasn't doing more" when it was needed.

Trump calls for help for the population through congressional approved stimulus package of $1,200 per taxpayer. Democrats have used the coronavirus as a tool to get long sought after pork projects funded.  The media provided non-coverage of the money being allocated for non-emergency issues such as funding the Kennedy Center and [[PBS]].  The House adjourns for session without an agreement on funding small-business.  The media decides they will let [[Democrat]]s get away without fulfilling their responsibilities.
