It took 27 days for CNN to say what they previously accused Trump of lying about

So that s at least one bright spot of good news amidst an otherwise grim forecast for the virus. The linked report is a rather lengthy article with plenty of good information in it, including quotes from multiple medical authorities. It also includes a brief reference to the fact that the projected death rate is lower than earlier estimates. But do you know who isn t quoted in that article? President Donald J. Trump. In fact, his name is never even mentioned. And, of course, there is no reference whatsoever to the CNN personalities who were excoriating the President when his hunch told him that it would wind up being considerably lower than the previous estimates and way lower than one percent. 0.66% sure sounds considerably lower than 2.6% to me. In fact, it s basically just a quarter of the old estimate. And it s barely more than half of one percent.

I totally get the “we are all in this together” meme or vibe. It helps. But in truth, politics is war, just without the guns and horror (yet). Different interests and groups are represented. Different objectives are sought. It helps to remember that, even if you don’t broadcast it.
