Jim Acosta views coronavirus as a way to attack Trump

Dr. Birx, who is recognized as a non-partisan medical expert, was rudely interrupted by CNN's Jim Acosta to make political points for Joe Biden.

Birx said:

We can talk about why didn't Italy do something or Spain do something or Germany do something, or we can really say right now -- we all can do something," Dr. Birx explained. "We can do the social distancing and all of the pieces that we know is starting to work around the globe in country after country. And then when we get through all of this, we can ask the questions about could we have done some piece of this better as a global community."

"I will remind you that on February 3rd, the head of the WHO said there was no reason to ever do a travel ban," Dr. Birx continued. "It wasn't until January 14th that we knew that there was human-to-human transmission,"

At which point Acosta interrupted to say:

"Dr. Birx, the president was saying this was going to go away," Acosta said. "It's April."

Trump made the obvious point that it will go away and contrary to Acosta's implication Trump never said it would just magically disappear quickly.

Of course if Acosta had listened to Birx he'd have known that early statements by Trump were based on incorrect data coming out of China.  Clearly before January 14 there was no reason to think this would be a pandemic since diseases that don't spread person to person don't become that widespread.

What's interesting is that it would seem that if Jim Acosta had been alive during WWII he would have been attacking FDR for telling the American people that yes we would survive the war, the war would end, and that the only thing we had to fear is fear itself.

This is why you can't trust anything the #FakeNews media says; their objective isn't educating you it's indoctrinating you.
