In this week’s Wacky Moments of Liberal Expression:

The leftist media is going batty in so many ways in their coverage of the Coronavirus.

CNN has been so intense with pushing the narrative that President Trump didn’t care about dealing with the Coronavirus correctly, that they’ve been hyperventilating about an image of him and Dr. Anthony Fauci touching a microphone at the same time during a White House press conference. When CNN fill-in host Brianna Keilar pressed Fauci on what happened, the nation’s top immunologist chuckled and told her to “get real” and not make something out of nothing.

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell attempts to make it sound like President Trump is “happy” that people are suffering from Coronavirus.

After the Wednesday Coronavirus task force held a press conference on the latest developments surrounding the government's plans to fight the virus, MSNBC chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel joined an extended Andrea Mitchell Reports panel to accuse President Trump and others of having a medieval approach of "scapegoating against an ethnic group" when they refer to COVID-19 by other names. “This is a bat virus, not a China virus,” he claims.

On Thursday, the NBC and CBS morning shows kept pushing the narrative that President Trump’s use of the phrase “Chinese virus” was “racist” and endangering people. 

After all this time of networks using the Coronavirus pandemic as a cudgel to attack the Trump administration, on Friday, ABC’s Good Morning America could only bother to spend 10 seconds on their own poll finding that 55% of Americans approve of the President’s handling of the crisis.
