Instead, the media’s shrieking harpies spoke in one voice: Tell us how guilty the whole Trump administration is because an anonymous White House official allegedly made a joke that offended an Asian reporter.
Andrea Widburg "The mainstream media are disgusting. That sentence could open every article about the mainstream media in a time of coronavirus. The media’s hostility to Trump is so extreme that there is no lie they won’t tell to damage him – never mind that doing so might destroy the American economy or cause other unimaginable harm to the American people.
"In addition to lies, the media’s other line of attack is to call everything Trump says or does “racist.” When it comes to the coronavirus, the media have a friend in the Chinese communist party that started this epidemic. The communists would also like Trump to be “racist,” because attacking him deflects attention from the Party’s disgraceful and deadly behavior in hiding coronavirus from the world to keep the Chinese government looking good.
"This anti-Trump bias had led to the latest media meme, which is that the phrases “Wuhan Virus” or “Chinese Virus” are racist. Naturally, Trump doubled down, for he now speaks only of the Chinese Virus. The problem for the media is that, just a month ago, used the words Chinese or Wuhan non-stop when referring to the virus. Reporters, therefore, know that they’re on shaky ground when attacking Trump on this point.
"The only thing to be done, of course, is to lie. In this case, the lie is that an unnamed White House official went beyond saying Wuhan or Chinese Virus. Instead, speaking to an Asian reporter, s/he called coronavirus the “Kung Flu.” " . . .

Whatever Trump is paying Conway, it’s not enough, based on that performance alone.
