STOP AIRING TRUMP'S CORONAVIRUS BRIEFINGS LIVE
To be clear, all of that happened in just one briefing.
It’s gone that way with many of Trump’s briefings. He cuts off and snarls at reporters who ask him questions about whether the economy is headed for a recession or even a depression. He contradicts public-health experts who’ve spent their lives preparing for a crisis like this one.
By some measures, the stakes are even higher now. Every day — every hour, really — of delay in the response to the new coronavirus can mean lives lost and livelihoods destroyed. Broadcasting the president’s words unfiltered out to a population that is largely stuck at home and watching TV won’t do anything to accelerate the response to the pandemic. Trump’s misinformation and chaotic leadership may in fact hinder that response.
Trump’s showing on Friday makes this much clear to any media outlet looking to do well by its audience: It’s time to stop carrying his coronavirus briefings live. Cover them, edit out the bad information, and give the American people only the essential information that they need to deal with the crisis. To continue to air them in real-time, unedited, is to actively confuse and mislead the American public.
