Fox News’ the Five Gets Heated Over U.S. Pandemic Response, Media Coverage
RUSH EXCERPT:
WILLIAMS: “Greg, I was wondering about the political strategy. How does the strategy of normalizing the Coronavirus help the Trump campaign? People are dying. It’s no common cold. I think that’s evident to everybody.”
GUTFELD: “That’s the craziest question you’ve ever done. Nobody is normalizing a virus. By the way, no one should take anybody in the media seriously in their questioning of process if they haven’t actually made a correct piece of advice. Number one, the politicized hydroxy. They were so happy to find one bad study that said it didn’t work and they go strangely silent when you hear it might work and in fact we all kind of knew that it might work. In terms of a strategy, it was well tolerated among people. We knew there was promise that the media didn’t like it. The rest home deaths, the media bent over backward to cover up for the cuomos. They didn’t wanted to be a big story but it was a big story. They covered up the rest home stuff. They bashed a drug that had potential. They refused to cite the most important data on Earth which is the reduction in death rate. That’s the important thing but you can’t talk about the fact that it’s plummeting and let’s not forget the travel ban which many in the media, Juan, said it was stupid and said it was racist but that probably did a large part in preventing a lot of deaths. The media and those who politicized it need to be ignored. All right?”
