"Trump defended his response today to the coronavirus in order to fight negative reporting from the ‘Fake News Media’ in two different ways.
First, he layed out the timeline of his response:
It not only showed members of the media doing what they accuse Trump of doing in downplaying the coronavirus threat, he played a New York Times reporter defending his response as well.
He also included clips of bipartisan governors praising Trump’s efforts in responding to their needs.
Believe it or not, CNN actually stuck with the video until the portion with the New York Times reporter was complete.
Believe it or not, CNN actually stuck with the video until the portion with the New York Times reporter was complete.
But they cut away before the governors could be heard praising Trump’s response, of course:
Immediately a couple of White House reporters accused Trump of airing a campaign video:
ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl asked Trump who produced the video, and Trump replied it was produced by a group in the White House. There was nothing on the video suggesting it was a campaign video which was obvious to most of us watching. But reporters, looking for another way to attack Trump, are trying to paint it that way.
The media is also calling it a ‘propaganda’ video:

"That's just plain out propaganda in the James Brady briefing room of the White House"
I’ll end the post with this video of Trump responding to a CBS News reporter accusing him of not doing enough to prepare the country for the outbreak during the month of February:
