Once upon a time, the media complained that President Trump didn’t give them enough opportunities to question him at press conferences.  The Wuhan Flu crisis has changed all that.  Almost every day, the President and his Virus Taskforce have appeared to report and answer questions.  The media wanted more press conferences because they thought that their questioning would be damaging to Trump.  It hasn’t worked out they way they expected.  President Trump has taken decisive action, and has backed up his actions by having the medical experts front and center to explain the whys and wherefores.  The experts told us that the numbers of infected people would go way up, and we have seen that happen.  The President daily has demonstrated that he is in command.  The expanded opportunities for the media to trip up the President have had the opposite effect.  The media has managed only to expose its own narrow-minded, petty and doctrinaire devotion to identity politics, tinged as it is with its insatiable hatred for all things Trump.  Someone once said, and now that I think about it, it might have been me, “While the eagles fly, the magpies squawk.”  President Trump and his team are the eagles, while the squawking media has merely covered itself in shame.  A timeline is in order.  The Wuhan Flu sprung up in Wuhan, China in the Fall.  It has been suggested that it came from the live animal market there, perhaps from bats.  That’s possible.  The Ebola Zaire virus (from the area near the Ebola River, in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo) came from fruit bats.  Another possibility is that the Wuhan Level Four biological laboratory was studying viral agents and this new flu bug escaped.  Either way, in the Fall, the Chinese government knew that the seeds had been sown for a pandemic.  In order to have a pandemic, you need three things: 1) a new flu virus; 2) evidence that the virus has crossed from one species (e.g. bats) to humans; and 3) evidence that the virus can be spread from person to person.  The first person in China with the new pneumonia-like illness appeared on December 1st.  He worked at the so-called “wet market.”  The market was not closed until January 12th.  On December 27th, China told the WHO about a new virus.  They had many new cases in Wuhan in December, but the Chinese government insisted that the virus was not being spread from person to person.  On December 30th, a Chinese doctor reported the new virus, but was reprimanded and told not to post anything about it.  Days later, 8 doctors were “brought in for questioning” for posting information about the virus.  The Chinese had mapped the genetic makeup of the virus by January 2nd.  This information was not released to world health agencies until January 9th, and then without the consent of the Chinese government.  Meanwhile, as the virus was spreading in Wuhan, the Chinese government allowed travel and other preparations for the January 25th Lunar New Year celebrations to continue, and some 5 million people from Wuhan left the city before travel restrictions were begun on January 23rd.  The virus spread in China.  As this is written, China claims about 81,000 people were infected.  Problem is, they lie.  In December, a nurse in Wuhan claimed that 90,000 people had already been infected.  As of January 11th, the Chinese were telling the world there were no new cases in Wuhan.  That was a lie.  Meanwhile, between December and January 31st, when the President cut off flights from China, some 500,000 Chinese entered the U.S.  Since then, China has claimed no new cases.  Don’t know if that’s true, and now the Chinese, aided by the Russians, are spreading propaganda claiming that the Wuhan Flu was brought to China by U.S. military members.  Is the magpie media upset by Chinese duplicity?  No.  Is the magpie media now outraged that the Russians (about whom they have expressed great concern over collusion) are now engaged in collusion intended to damage the United States during a public health crisis?  No.  At what is the magpie media outraged?  President Trump dares to call the virus, the China or Wuhan virus.  How dare he?  Doesn’t he know that’s xenophobic and racist?  More importantly, doesn’t he know the Chinese don’t like it?  Nevermind, that before Trump called it the Wuhan virus, all throughout January and February, media magpies, on MSNBC no less (and there is no less) were themselves calling it the Chinese or Wuhan virus.  Nevermind that other viruses have been named Spanish, Hong Kong, Russian, West Nile, Marburg, even Ebola Reston (Virginia).  This is evidence of the underlying media mental disease, Trump Derangement Syndrome.  When President Trump said “Wuhan,” that automatically made it racist.  ABC reporter Cecilia Vega challenged the President, “Why do you call it Chinese?  Isn’t that racist?”  The answer was pure Trump.  It was aimed at the Chinese/Russian propaganda. “The Chinese are claiming that the virus was brought to China by the U.S.  That can’t happen.  As long as I’m President, that’s not going to happen.”  Another reporter claimed an Administration employee called the virus “the Kung Flu,” but she wouldn’t say who.  I kind of like it.  Kung Flu it is.  Simply put, the media has learned nothing from this crisis.  They don’t see the government working at top speed.  They don’t see people working together and Federal-State cooperation across Party lines.  They do see a silver lining to the Wuhan Kung Flu.  Ready for this?  Christine Amanpour and the New York Times have said the Flu’s worldwide lockdowns have resulted in less driving and other travel, and that has helped to reduce “the existential threat” to humanity, climate change.  I shit you not.  The media people should be tested, for something.  They are now crazier than their Democrat masters, some of whom, to include Nancy Pelosi, Andrew Cuomo, Gavin Newsome, and even Ilhan Omar, have praised Trump’s leadership.  No, it won’t last, but it was nice to hear.  Bottom line, ignore the magpies, and listen to the eagles.
