Liberal media bias on full display during White House's COVID-19 press briefings

Media's slant is likely a major factor contributing to the decline of newspapers and broadcast news ratings

Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis has coined a new phrase: “the Acela media.”

His reference was to the high-speed Amtrak train that travels between Washington, D.C., and Boston. Mr. DeSantis was indirectly criticizing the major media that have headquarters along that corridor, media that largely decides what Americans will know — or not know — about the COVID-19 virus and other subjects.

Watching the daily White House press briefings about the virus appears to have put reporters’ biases on naked display. Someone should come up with videos comparing how the press practically worshipped President Obama and his spokespeople with softball questions to the confrontational, ideologically slanted and “gotcha” questions thrown at President Trump.
