As the liberal media were busy trying to gaslight the world into thinking that alternate names for the coronavirus (Wuhan Virus or Chinese Coronavirus) were racist, Tuesday’s CBS Evening News sought to help out China’s propaganda campaign and claim that they “attacked” the virus. In reality, China spent critical weeks pouring more resources into trying to stop information about the virus from spreading rather than trying to stop the virus itself.

On top of all that, neither CBS nor their broadcast competitors (ABC and NBC) thought it was worth mentioning that China had ordered multiple American newspapers to leave the country.

CBS Asia correspondent Ramy Inocencio began his report by touting how South Korea had managed to get ahead of the virus with expansive testing and no lockdowns. “Meanwhile, in China, the government attacked,” he praised. “In the epidemic's heart of Wuhan, city officials built two hospitals with more than 2,000 beds in the span of a few weeks. To stop the spread, a massive lockdown radiated out to nearly 60 million people across central China…

Though, he would then admit that “strong-arm tactics were used against people who refused to wear masks, with some beaten while others were locked into their homes, forcefully quarantined.” But, as if anything the communist government said was to be trusted, Inocencio boasted that China only had one new case of the virus on Tuesday and was charging outsiders for medical care.
