Olivia Nuzzi’s Absurd Question To Trump Is Why People Hate The Media

Let’s take another look at the question. “If an American president loses more Americans over the course of six weeks than died in the Vietnam War, does he deserve to be reelected?” What exactly is meant by the president losing lives? This is a global pandemic born of a communist Chinese government that lied about it for months with its wingman the World Health Organization. These lives are at Trump’s feet? Really?

Olivia Nuzzi’s Absurd Question To Trump Is Why People Hate The Media

"On Monday, President Trump took to the Rose Garden with members of the coronavirus task force and CEOs who are working to provide new testing. CNN cut their coverage just as the CEOs began providing important information about how to get tested, but cut back in time for questions. That’s where New York Magazine’s Olivia Nuzzi comes in.

"If an American President loses more Americans over the course 6 weeks than died in the entirety of the Vietnam War, does he deserve to be re-elected?"
Such an appalling framing of a question.
. . .
"This has all become a ridiculous reality TV show, and sure, the president is not without blame for the condition. He clearly enjoys a lot of aspects of it. But so does Olivia Nuzzi and most of the corporate press. They are willing cast members in the awkward episodes. And this one was truly cringeworthy."

It wasn’t the first time Nuzzi sacrificed her journalistic ‘integrity’ in the pursuit of a personal agenda.  . . . "In 2018 Nuzzi admitted to entering the home office of Corey Lewandowski without permission for a story and later doubled down by trying to justify her actions amid online outrage.
“…socially I would probably thrive in jail,” she tweeted in response to criticism at the time." . . .

. . . "President Trump is said to be reconsidering his daily press briefings because journalists use them to grandstand and to score political points, rather than to pursue information."The contrast with press briefings for governors and mayors is stark: there, journalists tend to be more deferential and to ask questions aimed at eliciting information rather than assigning political fault."Nuzzi, who has also covered Joe Biden’s presidential campaign, formerly interned for former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY), then an aspiring New York City mayoral candidate." . . .
