Media Narrative On Coronavirus Changes So Fast You Might Get Whiplash

Excerpt : Of course, this is exactly what's happening. In the second story, the writer even acknowledges that cases have been slowly falling for the last few weeks. But for some reason, it wasn't worth reporting on until Donald Trump was out of office.

Let's see how the New York Times excoriates #Biden for framing himself as a wartime leader :

On Thursday, Biden released a sweeping plan that he described as a “full-scale wartime effort” to beat the pandemic by invoking the Defense Production Act to surge vaccine production and establishing federally funded vaccination sites across the country.

(The Biden Harris goal falls short of hope many vaccines were already being distributed under Trump.)

Here's what they said and #Trump :

The option, which he has brazenly pushed in recent days, is to cast himself as a “wartime president” who looks in charge of a nation under siege while his likely Democratic opponent, former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., is largely out of sight hunkered down in Delaware. This gambit, however, requires a rewriting of history — Mr. Trump’s muted approach to the virus early on — and it’s far from clear if many voters will accept the idea of him as a wartime leader.

Ute Tribe : #Biden executive order is a direct attack on our economy, sovereignty, and our right to self-determination. Indian lands are not federal public lands. Any action on our lands and interests can only be taken after effective tribal consultation.

#Trump DID say it, and was excoriated for it. #Biden is simply echoing Trump's "it is what it is" statement.

But when Biden says the same thing, it's a non story. When Trump said it, it was a reason he shouldn't be president.

Here's about Trump :

The president told Axios's Jonathan Swan that the COVID-19 pandemic is "under control as much as you can control it" in the U.S.
"They are dying, that's true. And you have - it is what it is," Trump said. "But that doesn't mean we aren't doing everything we can. It's under control as much as you can control it. This is a horrible plague."

The interview was recorded last Tuesday, before the coronavirus-related death toll in the U.S. surpassed 150,000. The current death toll reached more than 155,000 as of Tuesday morning, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. The U.S. currently has a seven-day average of 1,069 deaths per day, according to New York Times data.
At times, the interview turned combative as Swan pointed out the data Trump was referencing measured death as a proportion of cases instead of as a proportion of the population.

Having won the election primarily for assurances fewer people would be affected by the virus, "there’s nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the #pandemic in the next several months," #Biden said.
