There have been a number of disturbing reactions in the press when it comes to the coverage of the coronavirus outbreak. From the distortion of the administration's actions to the contradictions in the critiques to the focus on only negative outcomes, the media complex has been notably obnoxious. One of the other truly disturbing actions has been the coverage of China and its role in all of this global pandemic strife.
The press has ranged from excusing responsibility to spearheading the Chi-Com insistence that the term ‘’Wuhan virus’’ be deemed racist, in order to skirt blame for the outbreak’s origins. There has been light coverage of the efforts to restrict notification of other nations, scant reports on the harsh methods employed by the government on the Mainland to contain the virus, and barely notice made of the suspect outreach by China - from flawed healthcare equipment sold to tainted testing kits delivered to nations. Excusing the World Health Organization of culpability is another connected result.
Our press has been also speaking glowingly on how China supposedly has been successful in containing its virus problem. There has been little curiosity to look into this claim, showing a willingness to merely repeat the party line delivered by the ruling party, despite two glaring issues. This is the same ruling class that has practiced sophistry and misdirection with the initial outbreak, yet no questions are posed about the veracity of current reports from this same source. Additionally, if the Chinese are experiencing such a grand reaction in efforts to stem the outbreak, why are they not offering the rest of the world their successful techniques?
These are questions not to be posed by our journalist class. While many are dismayed at the fawning behavior of our media elites regarding a communist regime it starts to come into focus when a larger picture is drawn up. To show the motivations behind this journalistic curiosity it helps to look first at Hollywood.
There was a time generations back when the studios and power brokers in the entertainment industry took a militant stand against censorship. Suggest any alteration to the content of their productions and you would be charged with being a fascist who wants to suppress artistic expression, and possibly even wanting to burn books! No longer is this the case. That stance has dissipated. Full Story - Brad Stager - Townhall
China Scores Four Kills with Corona Virus - Peter Navarro
They spawned the virus, they hid it , allowed hundreds of thousands of Wuhanians to seed the world, they vacuumed up all of the world's protective gear
White House Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy director Peter Navarro joined "Hannity" Tuesday night and laid out China's mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic, a process he said Beijing might call "the four kills."
"They spawned the virus, probably in that ... lab right there in China and then they hid it behind the shield of the World Health Organization," Navarro began. Read More
Russia, China And Iran Have Formed An Axis Of Disinformation
State Department report concludes that Russia, China and Iran have been coordinating their propaganda efforts
A State Department report which is not yet public concludes that Russia, China and Iran have been coordinating their propaganda efforts in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. All three countries have been spreading the message that the U.S., not China, is the origin point of the virus.
The three governments are pushing a host of matching messages: that the novel coronavirus is an American bioweapon, that the U.S. is scoring political points off the crisis, that the virus didn’t come from China, that U.S. troops spread it, that America’s sanctions are killing Iranians, that China’s response was great while the U.S.’ was negligent, that all three governments are managing the crisis well, and that the U.S. economy can’t bear the toll of the virus… Read More
