Two different types of media quotes from this week, that go to show the "extremes" that the media is taking.
Cannot find the actual quotes now but most on here will agree as to the following theme.
Firstly on Trump last week "the guy is an idiot, not taking Covid seriously, deliberately misleading the US public to prop up the stockmarket" etc etc etc
Now, literally over the last few days "beware, Trump is trying to use his executive powers to close down freedom of movement and lockdown the USA"

Basically he cannot win (if he does nothing initially, he's an idiot, but as soon as he acts he's a right-wing dictator)
At a time when the media should be feeding us factual, sound and balanced advice (to avoid panic)....certain newspapers are taking the opportunity to "stick the political boot in", not just with Trump but I've noticed it with Boris also today....it's pathetic.....somewhere, in between China's total lockdown and armed military patrolling the streets and Mexico's AMLO exhibiting his "I don't really care, I'm off to hug and kiss my supporters this weekend" attitude that had the press here puzzled and bemused, there is a middle line.....I certainly ain't no medical expert but good impartial advice from the media would a good start IMO.
